WASHINGTON DC – Illinois conservatives may find one thing they agree with their U.S. Senator Mark Kirk about – and that's his firm stand against terrorism. Today, the campaign wanted you to see this op-ed published in the National Review.

The senator – seeking re-election and facing a conservative challenger in the March 15th GOP primary – starts out by continuing a name-calling sequence he started last week against his presumed Democrat opponent in November, Tammy Duckworth. He writes:

Tammy Duckworth is a fool.

She says I am the reason terrorists become radicalized. This is another example of how Duckworth sees the world through a delusional, partisan lens, willfully ignorant of what motivates the enemy and threatens our safety as Americans.

Radical Islamic terrorists fight and kill in order to create a global caliphate, an Islamic state where sharia law reigns and the caliph’s authority is absolute. The great majority of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims wish to live in peace, and many are our allies against the ISIS malignancy. However, millions identify with and support the cause of radical Islam.

In May 2015, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ISIS’s leader and self-proclaimed emir of the caliphate, was recorded as saying: 

Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.

Duckworth is choosing to ignore what motivates terrorists who rape, torture, behead, and burn alive anyone who does not advance the caliphate.
