not "we hate Muslims". I hope she doesn't think that President Obama or any of his appointees hate Muslims. In any case, a good answer to her question would be that while there are horrible bigots who hate Muslims, just as some people are racists and anti-Semites, President Obama is not one of those people, and it is he who makes the decision that we need to help people overseas.
