Republican front-runner Donald Trump responded to being featured in a terrorist propaganda video saying, “They use other people, too, I mean, what am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say.”

Appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with John Dickerson on Sunday, Trump stood by his comments on a moratorium on Muslim immigration suggesting, “Look, here is the problem. I bring it up, other people have called me they say, you have guts to bring it up because frankly it’s true. But nobody wants to get involved.” (RELATED: Trump Calls For Moratorium On Muslims Entering United States)

Trump continued:

Now people are getting involved. People that are on different persuasions than me right now, John, are saying, you know, maybe Trump isn’t wrong. We want to examine it. There’s a lot of bad stuff going on. I’m watching the news tonight, actually, CBS, and so many of the elements, you look at Germany, you look at Brussels, you look all over the world, they’re shutting down cities that never had a problem before. They’re shutting down countries that never had a problem before. You look at Paris, what happened. You look at California, what happened. John, maybe it’s not politically correct, there’s a big problem out there and we have to solve the problem.

Dickerson then asked Trump, “Does it concern you at all that you’re being used in essentially a recruitment video by terrorist organization?”

“They use other people too, I mean, what am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say,” Trump insisted. “And you know what I have to say? There’s a problem. We have to find out what is the problem and we have solve that problem.” (RELATED: Donald Trump Isn’t In Any ISIS Recruitment Videos, But Bill Clinton Is [VIDEO])

Dickerson followed up with Trump, “Do you think the problem is that the West is on a collision course with radical Islam or is this just ISIS is the problem? I mean, is this a clash of civilizations?”

“I think radical Islam may be on a collision course with us,” Trump said. “I mean, you could change it around a little bit. But it is a very, very deeps-seeded hatred that’s going on. I mean, you have a hatred like people willing to give their lives.”

“I have to tell you, it is so big, it is the biggest thing there is right now, when I watch President Obama say global warming is our biggest problem, it’s just so sad to watch,” Trump insisted. “And he doesn’t want to use the words ‘radical Islam.’ He doesn’t want to use anything having to do with ‘radical’ and ‘Islam.’ So until he’s willing to admit the problem — how can you not at least talk about the problem? And one of the things I’ve done I brought the problem out.”

“The world is talking about what I’ve said. And now big parts of the world are saying, Trump is really right at least identifying what’s going on,” Trump claimed. “And we have to solve it. But you’re not going to solve the problem unless you identify it.”
