Crazy Joe was clearly going off script. Ash Carter articulated the Administration’s prevailing fantasy when he said that “officials may never know ‘what combination of disturbed mind, violent extremism and hateful ideology’ was behind the shooting.” “Biden Calls Chattanooga Shooter a ‘Perverted Jihadist,'” by Erik Schelzig, Associated Press, August 15, 2015:
Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday called the slaying of four Marines and a sailor at a Chattanooga reserve center the act of a “perverted jihadist.”
Biden’s comments came at a memorial to the five servicemen killed in a shooting rampage by Kuwait-born Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
“These perverse ideologues, warped theocrats, they may be able to inspire a single lone wolf to commit a savage act, but they can never, never threaten who we are,” Biden said. “When this perverted jihadist struck, everyone responded.”
The vice president’s strong words contrast with the official comments of investigators who have not yet been able to determine a motive behind the attack. The FBI has said it has not been able to determine whether the 24-year-old Abdulazeez was “radicalized” before the July 16 attacks and has been treating him as a homegrown violent extremist.
Speaking before Biden, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said officials may never know “what combination of disturbed mind, violent extremism and hateful ideology” was behind the shooting, but vowed that the United States would present a strong response.
“The few who threaten or incite harm to Americans — violent extremists or terrorists, wherever they are — will surely, very surely, no matter how long it takes, come to feel the long arm and the hard fist of justice,” Carter said….

“Perverted jihadist”, eh (as apposed to what?)? Meh, close enough, I guess.
Jay Boo says
You forgot to add (PBUH) to “Perverted jihadist”.
spot on says
He still hasn’t spit out the word “Islamic”. I presume because he doesn’t want to offend his voting base. His voting base probably thinks that being called a “pervert” and “jihadist” is a compliment.
Jay Boo says
It is still an improvement over Hillary though.
Joe Biden told the family members that he too has lost a son.
POS Hillary told Benghazi family members not too worry “We are going to get that ‘film maker’
Hillary did not want to offend Huma who some claim is her bunk buddy.
ALPHAMEL says
Comes the time soon Hillary knows she’d look much better in a Burqa.
spot on says
Jay Boo, Bunk buddies, yes. Poor Huma. Hillary is treacherous.
Shane says
Go Biden! The bad news is that Ash Carter has drunk the Obama kool-aid and refuses to state the obvious that this Muslim guy killed American servicemen in the name of Allah.
Nathan says
One step forward, and two steps back.
It’s a merry dance of death around the islamic threat.
mortimer says
‘Perverted’??? What are the criteria for this judgment?
Does Biden know something a million mullahs haven’t discovered?
Biden hasn’t read the hadiths or the Sharia law manual, so how would he know what jihad is or isn’t?
What a know-it-all.
Victor Redlick says
Well, he’s smart enuf to give sage advice Obama! Wait a minute. That’s not saying much.
epistemology says
Once in a while even the greatest morons get wise. Biden is a very good example but it won’t hold long. Pretty soon he’ll tell us again that jihad has nothing to do with jihad. All these terrorists are some gruesome, obnoxious villains but they’ve got nothing to do with Islam.
mortimer says
Jihad has nothing to do with jihad. Sex slavery has nothing to do with Islamic slavery. Islam has nothing to do with Islam. Blah blah has nothing to do with blah blah.
Which mullah is preaching the ‘correct’ version of Islam? President Sisi of Egypt begged Al Azhar University to invent a more moderate version of Islam, but they have treated his prayer with SILENCE.
There is no ‘moderate’ version of Islam coming from any recognized authority in Islamdom. They dare not.
Lia Wissing says
And how long before the USA pres. decides that Mr El-Sisi is a very bad influence & should be toppled?
Mel Glickman says
El-Sisi overthrew Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood buddy in Egypt then outlawed the MB. Would that he come to the US to overthrow Obama and outlaw CAIR aka the MB. New members of Obama’s inner circle of the DHS would have to be found to replace his MB appointees of course.
ALPHAMEL says
“PERVERTED JIHADIST”. Could mean…
1. All Jihadists are Perverted (true enough.)
2. This individual perberted true Jihad (which is noble)…The Dem. version.
gravenimage says
Shocker: Biden calls Chattanooga jihadist a “jihadist”
…………………
Even a stopped clock, etc…
ECAW says
Or even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut.
Jaladhi says
What’s a “perverted jihadist” as opposed to regular “unperverted” jihadist?? There is only one kind of jihadi(and not a jihadist) whose only aim is to kill non-Muslims.
These Islam and jihad experts of our government are alwys telling Muslims whattheir religion is!!
– Perverted jihadist- a new kind of jihadi from mouth of foot in the mouth Biden!!
Nathan says
Isn’t a perverted jihadist one who DOESN’T kill the infidel?
Goat Pimp says
good point.
Jaladhi says
“what combination of disturbed mind, violent extremism and hateful ideology” was behind the shooting, <
OK Sherlock this this violent and extremism and hateful ideology is called Islam – capisce!!
somehistory says
At least he said, “jihadist”…what “ideology” produces “jihadists”? It isn’t the Jews, nor Christians, nor those few who worship trees….so at least, he is on a better track than those who have not had brain tumors, or severe strokes, etc.
And jihad is “perverted” in that no one is safe from murder and mayhem committed for the perverted murderer of the desert.
gfmucci says
Sometimes you have to insert a little truth so as not to be thought of as a total fool.
EYESOPEN says
What, is Biden running for president now?
Jay Boo says
He could be no worst than Hillary.
I was going to refer to Head-bump Hillary as the Bitch of Benghazi but I don’t want canines to take offence.
ALPHAMEL says
I refer to Hillary as the Butcher of Benghazi. With apologies to real butchers I guess.
Lia Wissing says
but not to halal butchers …
Parousia says
You should see this
Hillary for prison
http://sonsoflibertymedia.com/2015/08/hillary-for-prison-2016-signs-starting-to-go-up/
ALPHAMEL says
PILLORY HILLARY 2016!
Victor Redlick says
I think Biden chose “jihadist” over “Chattanooga-ist” only because he’s notorious for foot in the mouth blurts and malapropisms, and it wouldn’t look good, just as he may be joining the Democrat choo-choo train to Hillary hell..
Westman says
It’s good that Mr. Biden doesn’t read Jihad Watch because he might resemble these remarks.
Victor Redlick says
Tributes to Graucho, no matter what the stretch, are always appreciated.
jewdog says
“Perverted” in the sense of not understanding the peaceful tenets of his religion. If that’s perverted, then I have new respect for sex offenders.
mortimer says
Mohammed is the perfect model of jihad. Anything that deviates from his perfect model of jihad is ‘PERVERTED’.
Mohammed made people slaves because they didn’t believe his made-up religion. He bought and sold slaves and raped them. He made surprise attacks against civilians going about their daily civilian jobs. He cut off the head of prisoners of war. He looted peaceful, unarmed people. He took hostages for extortion. He enriched himself and his followers through slavery. He destroyed the religious customs and art of every tribe he invaded. Mohammed’s jihad was identical to what today the United Nations calls ‘genocide’.
Jihad is genocide. ‘Perverted’ jihad is anything that deviates from Mohammed’s perfect model.
rob says
Too bad those Marines didn’t have access to at least shotguns
Alice says
I sometimes wonder if he is warning us and isn’t quite as crazy as he appears. But I would never vote for him.
Martin Vink says
Ash Carter was confirmed by a Republican Congress. How did that happen? Why appoint another politically correct sycophant? Is it any wonder that Trump is leaving the career politicians in the dust? Have they not seen their approval rating is so low (13%) that they have to bend low enough to cause back aches?
duh_swami says
Joe was going to tell Hersi Ali a thing or two about Islam…’Perverted jihadist’ was one of them, what was the other?
Alphamel says
Great comment. Glad to see I’m not alone in remembering that idiotic comment from Joe Who to Ayan Ali Hirsi…one of my heroes and a truly great lady. Everyone should read hor book “INFIDEL”.
When I mentioned Hirsi to a Somalian woman her immediate response was “She’s a LIAR”…no doubt confusing her with Hillary…
Pam Dale says
An obvious positioning for a run at the presidency. There is no other reason to step away from the “official” tag line. Suits me cause I’m thinking that they are sensing Hillary’s demise.
Myxlplik says
So, is Biden saying the Muslim perverted Jihad, or that Jihad is perverted?
It’s not really clear. It’s possible that Biden was defending the Islamic practice of Jihad, by saying this Muslim had perverted it when he assassinated the Marines. Imam Biden does have a habit of lecturing Muslims on their faith.
Enfant Terrible says
American service members serve who (risk their lives for what) ? – the “commander in chief” and executive clowns like Ash Carter. O’bama and his executive agencies promote and appease Muslims and Islam at the expense of enlisted personnel, who’s commanding officers kiss O’bama’s a**.
vlparker says
Well, Crazy Joe, you’re at least half right. Jihadist? Yes. Perverted? Depends on the meaning of perverted. Is he perverting islam? No. Is islam perverted? Yes.
steve says
Nice, but he still has it wrong about the lone wolf concept. These lone wolves are merely part of packs just waiting to strike.
Baucent says
It was a rather sloppy statement from someone who claims to be a Foreign Policy expert. But at least he said the “J” word.
