I don't believe I ever said that radical Islam and "Muslims" were synonymous in my eyes. Those are words you are adding in.

I said if a Muslim nation, or nation in that area, adopted republican constitutional principles and wanted to be our partners and allies under such a system, that we could hold out an olive branch.

That's all.

I maintain that belief.
