Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

John Brennan is completely unqualified to be Director of Central Intelligence

Oct 26, 2016 1:03 pm By Michael J. Del Rosso

John_Brennan

Robert Spencer wrote this yesterday:

Is it widely known that there is a top intelligence official in the Obama Administration’s CIA who has converted to Islam? Yes. It was reported in none other than the Washington Post in 2012. Why couldn’t it be Brennan? The movie Zero Dark Thirty about the killing of Osama bin Laden, for which the moviemakers gained access to classified material (the Obama administration was criticized for making it available to them) featured a top counter-terror official who strongly resembled Brennan and was shown performing Muslim prayers. Were the filmmakers hinting at something they knew? Did La Miere speak to Brennan?

Allegations that Brennan is a convert to Islam are based upon firsthand reports of those who served with him in Saudi Arabia.

  1. Those allegations include that Brennan was the target of a Saudi intelligence influence operation, one outcome of which was Brennan’s conversion to Islam.
  2. At that time, Brennan was chief of station, a billet that is designed for an operationally trained officer with experience in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, which Brennan was not. Brennan’s background is that of an analyst, which may explain why he lacked the sophistication and experience to understand that he was being played by the Saudis in an influence operation.
  3. Anyone so inept as to be oblivious to basic hostile intelligence tactics such as this influence operation is unqualified to be DCI.
  4. Furthermore, Brennan’s definition of jihad, “meaning to purify oneself or one’s community,” is incorrect as a matter of fact, since all four schools of Sunni jurisprudence say that the primary and paramount definition of jihad is kinetic war against non-Muslims to forcibly establish submission to Islamic law globally.
  5. If Brennan truly believes his fictitious definition of jihad, he is unqualified to be DCI, since he obviously is unaware of or indifferent to the fact that he is directly contradicting all published Sunni jurisprudence. Al-Qaeda’s bin Laden, ISIS’s al-Baghdadi (who has a doctorate in Islamic law), Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the other numerous violent jihadi terrorist groups all say that they are at war with us because Islamic law makes such war — jihad — obligatory for all Muslims. They also point out that Islamic law makes the funding of jihad obligatory, as well as lying to further jihad. That 15 years after 9/11, Brennan has yet to drop $40 on Amazon.com to purchase a certified English translation of an authoritative textbook on Islamic law, such as Reliance of the Traveller, is professional malpractice of the highest order for someone who has held the senior counter-terrorism and intelligence positions he has.
  6. Furthermore, the fiction that Brennan is espousing is not just any fiction, it is a deliberate propaganda lie by America’s enemies in our 15+-year war. It is designed to disorient us from understanding our enemy’s Threat Doctrine. If he is truly unaware of this, he is a useful idiot in espousing enemy propaganda in time of war, and is unqualified to be DCI.
  7. If Brennan does know the factual Islamic legal definition of jihad, then he is deliberately espousing enemy propaganda in a time of war, in which case Brennan is a traitor — and unqualified to be DCI.

The high-ranking CIA official who converted to Islam, who was called “Roger” in a Washington Post report, was outed last year, confirming that he is not Brennan, but another official named Michael D’Andrea. As the Washington Post reported in 2012, D’Andrea “married a Muslim woman he met abroad, prompting his conversion to Islam.”

Brennan just happens to be another Muslim. Where Spencer wrote of Roger, “Why couldn’t it be Brennan?,” more accurately the question should have been, “Why couldn’t Brennan be a convert to Islam, too?” At the time of the Washington Post article, Brennan was White House Counter-Terrorism Coordinator, and was not in the CIA, while “Roger” was running CIA counter-terrorism operations.

As far as Brennan’s conversion to Islam is concerned, a U.S. asset assigned overseas with Brennan in Saudi Arabia when he was station chief confirmed years ago their firsthand account that Brennan was indeed the target of a Saudi intelligence influence operation that led to his conversion. Brennan has also stated publicly that he visited Mecca, which is impossible for a non-Muslim to do unless he is a special guest of the Saudi King.

When John Guandolo wrote an op-ed in February 2013 to try to rally Senators to oppose Brennan’s nomination to be DCI, I advised John that Brennan’s conversion was de facto irrelevant, given the fact that the Washington Post had recently reported that “Roger,” the CIA’s chief of counter-terror operations, was a Muslim, and that was a non-issue to everyone.

A more compelling disqualifier for Brennan is that he consistently says that “jihad” is a good thing. For example, in 2009, Brennan said: “Nor does President Obama see this challenge as a fight against ‘jihadists.’ Describing terrorists in this way—using a legitimate term, ‘jihad,’ meaning to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal—risks giving these murderers the religious legitimacy they desperately seek but in no way deserve.” And in 2010, he said: “Nor do we describe our enemy as ‘jihadists’ or ‘Islamists’ because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one’s community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children.”

None of what Brennan says is true regarding the legal definition of jihad in Islamic law. The opening sentence in the Reliance of the Traveller chapter on jihad is crystal clear: “o9.0 – Jihad. Jihad means to wage war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.” (Italic emphasis in original.)

Hence Brennan is either, as explained above, too stupid to live and shouldn’t be DCI, or lying about the true definition of jihad (which deception is also obligatory according to Shariah), in which case he is guilty of treason and again shouldn’t be DCI, but rather prosecuted.

This is not a religious issue. Americans believe in freedom of religion for religions that believe in freedom. Rather, it is a national security issue. It is a statement of fact that pious, observant Muslims are required to adhere to Islamic law, which is not scripture, but legal texts written by men. A cursory examination of Reliance of the Traveller will show that it uses the word “obligatory” hundreds of times, and enumerates mandatory acts for all Muslims which are felony violations of the U.S. Code, including terrorism, material support of terrorism, perjury, espionage, treason, making war against the United States, sedition, and misprision of treason. Please let that sink in.

Every American should have a problem with this.

And why don’t we? Because blame isn’t limited to John Brennan. America’s political and national security elites, and especially our mainstream journalists, are guilty of professional malpractice, dereliction of duty, and worse, for being willfully ignorant of these easily verifiable facts.

The net result is that America has not only lost this war, but we changed sides and are aiding our enemy. We need look no further than what Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration did to Libya, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, and tried to do to Egypt, for evidence of that.

    I read an old Brennan speech to the Saudi’s when Obama first elevated him and it is perfectly clear that he is a convert to Islam. The speech is full of praise for Islam and speaks repeatedly in terms that only a believer would use, calling Muhammad a prophet, etcetera, receiving revelation, etcetera, just as Obama did in his Cairo speech and elsewhere. Don’t know how anyone can doubt Obama is a Muslim when he has spoken in believing terms many times.

        There are plenty of videos where BO himself admitted to being a Muslim. And there are countless pictures of him in his Muslim garb with his little hat on his head. Just search and you shall find. Videos of his many speachess in the middle east. His own admition of the beautiful sound of the call to prayer. Telling them that he is one of them. Like I said search and you shall find. BO is a Muslim in the closet. When he leaves office you will see his true colors if you don’t already.

      Jihad is ‘Struggle’ —
      Brennan was speaking of ‘personal jihad’ – the struggle within yourself to stay committed to the cause.
      Civilization Jihad – to struggle to overcome another civil group- this can be laws, customs or what ever is targeted by you and your band of brothers…
      We are having a Jihad on our normal daily life — they are terrorizing us and destroying our peace of mind. Which in fact changes us from ‘what we were’ to something ‘we were not’, and this change uses up our energy and life resources…We are constantly looking for the Jihad of mini wars and the upcoming WAR FOR SURVIVAL!! Over time and birthrates, utilizing our welfare systems, the muslims within our borders will slowly change us into France and England, then we will be sharing neighborhoods which are ‘no go zones’ and with each new birth we will become less and they will become more….
      THINK ABOUT IT… WHEN OBAMA WAS ELECTED WE HAD 4 MILLION MUSLIMS – NOW WE HAVE 6.5 MILLION…THIS IS CALLED CIVILIZATION JIHAD!!!

      Isn’t Brennan a convert to islam? Leadership positions in America and in the West are filled with similar, pro-islamic, pro-jihadist, Anti-Christ traitors who are aiding and abetting an eventual islamist takeover and the majority of the clueless and childish Western societies have no trace of information of what is really going on.

      Yes, there are Leftist dweebs and those drawn to Islam. But, by and large, the Foreign Service, CIA, and like agencies have been and probably still are staffed by people who have US interests at heart . Whether they do well at this or not is quite another question.

      I, for one, dealt face to face with Communist officials in China and Viet Nam, but I remain about as far from pro-Communist sympathies as possible. Also, if I had a farm, I would probably bet it that somewhere in a US embassy or consulate in some Islamic country, there is a Foreign Service Officer who is growing more jaundiced and negative about Islam as a religion and way of life with every passing day of his tour.

    “An obligatory holy struggle to purify one’s community”.

Her family connections with infl!uential Saudis Arabians makes her suspect in my eyes and IMO in the eyes of any American who understands the danger from Islam.

    As mad as this seems on the surface, it is all entirely plausible. A nightmare come true that explains so much. With a Clinton presidency the stealth black hand of Islam will solidify its grip over the western world so firmly it will not be able to be removed. They have certainly put their oil billions to use. How much money has been spent in trying to crush Trump who dares to stand in the way? Astronomical sums.

        Actually, the US imports very little oil from the Mideast, and with the domestic shale boom, virtually none. The vast majority of US imported fossil fuels come from Canada, Mexico, and S. America.

        The US has a great interest in the Mideast oil supply and general stability due to its huge impact on the worldwide price. Almost all Mideast oil goes to Europe and Japan, however.

    Can you imagine if a leader in the CIA, or indeed anyone working for the CIA or any other intelligence agency, had “converted” to Bolshevism at the height of the Cold War? Do you think such a person would have been allowed to continue working at an intelligence agency? Of course not, the question itself is absurd.

    What are the facts? Has it been confirmed that John Brennan is a Muslim convert? Or is it still speculation?

    • Jack Diamond says

      Oct 26, 2016 at 5:39 pm

      No, it has never been confirmed because no one has ever asked him point blank if he is a Muslim or if he converted to Islam while in Saudi Arabia. He wasn’t asked in the recent 60 Minutes interview. It’s like it’s no one’s business but his if the CIA director is a Muslim convert! So, there is only the circumstantial evidence of his own remarks and record, his visit to Mecca (!), and this from one John Guandolo, who worked in the FBI Counterterrorism Division:

      “Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia. That fact alone is not what is most disturbing. His conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior U.S. government position in a foreign country means that he either a traitor … [or] he has the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to the be the director of Central Intelligence…. The facts of the matter are confirmed by U.S. government officials who were also in Saudi Arabia at the time that John Brennan was serving there and have direct knowledge. These are men who work in very trusted positions, they were direct witnesses to his growing relationship with the individuals who worked for the Saudi government and others and they witnessed his conversion to Islam.”

      No one has yet corroborated the accusations by Mr. Guandolo.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 26, 2016 at 6:16 pm

      Besides the assertion from Mr. Guandolo, Brennan has gone to Mecca, something no non-Muslim has ever done (save one or two intrepid souls posing as Muslims).

      Others in national security have also claimed that he has converted.

      But no–Brennan has never actually corroborated this himself, so Michael del Rosso and Robert Spencer rightly treat this as unconfirmed.

        I’ve wondered about the western architects and engineers who have designed and built the clock tower and hotels that surround the Kabba. At least one is a German firm. Are they forced to convert or does the king make an exception for them? The most pious Muslims certainly love the technology of the infidels.

        • Jack Diamond says

          Oct 27, 2016 at 1:05 pm

          Don’t know that they ever set foot in Mecca. The crescent, for example, was constructed in Dubai and divided into 10 parts to move to Mecca. Construction at Mecca was done by, of course, the Saudi Bin Laden Group. The hotels and clock tower were quite controversial among pious Muslims.

          Pious Muslims love to use the technology of the infidels against them (their jet planes to bring down their skyscrapers, their media to spread da’wa or fight jihad of the tongue) or to tower over them with the biggest this or that monument to the supremacy of Islam.
          Or even to enjoy some of that “western decadence” they consider their right of pillage.

          Money can buy you everything except civilization, as Hugh Fitzgerald liked to say.

    Oct 26, 2016 at 4:18 pm

    The author writes:

    “The opening sentence in the Reliance of the Traveller chapter on jihad is crystal clear: “o9.0 – Jihad. Jihad means to wage war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.”

    But he omits to mention two points. The first is that the text continues:

    “And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs) which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad,

    ‘We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad’ “.

    So the text does provide some support for Brennan’s view of jihad.

    The second point is that the text actually starts like this:

    “o9.0 – JIHAD

    (O:Jihad means to wage….”

    The “O” means that the text is not part of the original mediaeval manual but is from a 19th century commentary which the translater added. Counting up brackets, it appears that the matching closing one is at the end of the section which must mean that the whole of section o9.0 is a later addition.

    This does not make the section irrelevant because al-Azhar endorsed the whole book as authentic sharia. Also there is plenty of mandatory jihad (the ordinary kind) later in o9.0 and in following sections.

    The greater jihad business is very dubious for other reasons and I wonder if the translater (a modern western convert) added the commentary in order to soften the idea of jihad just as (according to Mark Durie) he softened the section on female circumcision by mistranslating the Arabic word as the prepuce of the clitoris rather than the clitoris itself.

      And I would add, gravenimage, notice Brennan’s eyes in the photo above. Typical of something and I know you know, as do many others here at JW, what that “something” is.

        He was given His job by someone who has the same look in his eyes, as when a predator
        sees its prey, from a vantage point, but still yet out of range.

        Eyes are indeed “windows to the soul” and his look dead.

        Although I am a lapsed Christian and seriously doubt the supernatural aspects of religion I do hold fast onto Christian values including the Golden Rule, and those beautifully laid out by Paul in 1Corinthians 13, the Bible being a source of inspiration for these values.

        One passage strikes me as particularly apt to Wellington’s perceptive observation:

        Matthew 6:22-23

        22 The eye is the lamp of the body. You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes. So if your eye is well and shows you what is true, then your whole body will be filled with light. 23 But if your eye is clouded or evil, then your body will be filled with evil and dark clouds. And the darkness that takes over the body of a child of God who has gone astray—that is the deepest, darkest darkness there is.

        Wisdom of the ages.

        If I may be allowed another personal comment I hope that as a former child of God, now rationally sceptical of His very existence, I have not “gone astray”. I have examined recent photographs taken of me and fortunately the light is still shining brightly which does not surprise me. The same cannot be said of Brennan who displays the same “dead eye” look in each of the photographs found by Google search. There may be no absolute proof he is a Mohammedan convert but I think the smart money’s backing the probability he is.

          While not very religious I consider myself a believer simply because the idea of being a child of God speaks to me. Perhaps religion is an illusion or delusion as some rationalists claim. But I’m going the route of Pascal and claiming my right to believe in a God that would consider me his child because I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Especially contrasting that with being a slave to Allah – what a reprehensible idea! Being beholden to a non rational uncaring entity as Allah is worse than there being no God at all. I’d prefer an indifferent evolution placing us here on a rock hurtling through a cold cosmos than have Allah in charge.

      Mole? Awaiting activation, 5th column. Oh, but wait, he can’t possibly be one, too obvious, hmmm, but in hrc’s world, “the average Democrat voter is just plain stupid”, … “easy to manipulate”, hrc, in Dick Morris’s REWRITING HISTORY (2005), and also in the world of hussein’s America hatred, perfect cover is provided, for ‘mole’cular activity potential, sub rosa style, after all, it is cia, just under the observable level, ‘big on agriculture’, sarc-off (And I actually kinda like cia, they can do, have done, very critical, worthwhile work, actually!)

      But I don’t like, nor should any Patriotic American -traitors- of any ilk, real traitors who do harm to our heroic endangered agents, service personnel, citizens, or to American Founding principles, and her natural God. To me, this does not, clearly include Snowden, Assange, each of whom for me, rest upon Gust’s (Charlie Wilson’s War) principle of zen-“we’ll see”. (Each have done special risk, the results of which are not clear in effects, but without any question, Assange has entered into the highest risk to his own life, for a dramatic positive payoff arena for America, to expose criminal, evil intent, deep subterfuge against all principles of America, in fact in America’s highest Founders interests, during a highly vulnerable time, in her history, in fact! Against one of the dirtiest degenerate regimes and contenders we’ve seen, and there have unfortunately been more than a couple, but none ever, even close to this present day level, in fact!) (I’ll as always, keep an eye out for my 12-6, as each of us ought, these days).

    if jihad = “purify oneself or one’s community”,

    yes, exactly, “purify”, by eliminating everything not islamic, including people.

    As Islam rules every minuscule part of life it would be hard for Brennan to cover it all up. This goes for every single personal habit. It is hard for people in the West to understand this. So if Brennan had converted there would be plenty of little indicators. An imam would know.

    Islam and communism – a perfect match. Obama gave the Americans Obamacare, ISIS offers free medical care.

    YES, this is what iv’e been saying, the biggest threats now are islam and Collectivism, in all it’s forms, socialism, fascism, and communism, they differ only in the mechanics, they match in the intentions.

    On 25 September 2012 in an address at UN General Assembly, Obama said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
    Under the criminal law if someone harbours a murderer in their home, that person will be charged with aiding and abetting a murderer. I see no reason whatsoever that the same law cannot be applied to our political leaders who knowingly invite and harbour jihad terrorists. Therefore, Obama, Kerry, Hillary, Merkel, Holland and all others in the west are aiding and abetting jihad terrorism. People have to unite and mount an uprising against these murderous and corrupt politicians. To quote Victor Orban, the Prime Minster of Hungry, “Together we are strength, disunited we are weakness.” And time is now. Delay is suicide, lest we forget Hamlet’s delays.

    Of course he shows with his statements that he is either clueless,(nope) which he shouldn’t be or an actor of an insurgency…..but so does his boss….the entire administration ( and currently clinton) defends, excuses, denies, aids and whatever else…so diverse a group with one common issue….which is a serious problem and continues to make decisions that are close to calling criticism of our enemy doctrine a crime. and racism..or have they already. Why? If clueless shouldn’t they want to do a little study…if not clueless then we are witnessing money for silence or migration hijrah for conquest painted as humanitarian conquest (jihad)for the caliphate…not so good.

    If Brennan is a muslim then it is as serious a national security risk as it was for Britain when they had Kim Philby as head of MI6 while being a communist in the 1950’s.

    If we understand Islam to be a supremacist ideology that seeks to conquer nations, muslims in the security services is asking for trouble, and as unwise as having card carrying communists.

    A man who is on record stating how impressed he was “by the majesty of the hajj” is a Muslim. That’s not an allegation. Non Muslims are not allowed to enter Mecca.

    I wondered why no one exposed this fraud is it simply because Obama shields him or does Jarrett protect him? A good media would have outed this clown years ago. W can’t win wars when we have poseurs among the leaders.As k Wikileaks they seem to have the truth unlike Obama or his slimy media:CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC.MSNBC, PBS, Politico, Bloomberg, Google, Facebook, Twitter, they all have the Chicago stench about them from associating with Obama.

    No, he’s completely qualified. He’s a liar, an elitist, a socialist, a defender of criminals, and he probably runs drugs, as well. That meets all the standards for CIA personnel for a long time.

    Can anyone document if Jeh Johnson, the head of Homeland Security is a Muslim convert? Google has apparently blocked all references to his religion. I believe I saw a report at one time but cannot find it now.

    Jeh Mohammed Johnson said, at the event, “The reading of the Quran reminded me of two things that MLK said a lot, which are quintessentially American values.”

    Secretary Jeh Johnson is the same guy who declared the “War on Terror” over in 2012.

    Obama is a gay Muslim Communist so to me it is no surprise he picked this Muslim converted traitor to be the head of his anti American CIA! Please God let Trump be elected to clean house.

    One may look upon in amazement, awe and shame how a jihadist moron moslem traitor like John Brenan was able to continue as the head of the prime intelligence apparatus of USA viz, CIA without any problem.Inspite of his known involvement in allowing 11 of the 13 Saudi terrorists who committed the horrific 9/11 terrorist attack in the American soil, this traitor was allowed to continue in his position which enabled several jihadists, hard core terrorists and alqueida men to penetrate smoothly ,to several american security agencies and positioned themselves to strike this great country at will. Without the help assistance and support of Barack Hussein Obama and people like John Brennan &Co.it would not have been possible for these enemies of the state to reach the present position now they are in.Even in democratic party there are people who love this country and ready to fight for this atrocities committed by moslem Obama and john Brennan&Co.The task before the new government is to investigate the crimes committed against the country by these wily men in power under Obama presidency and send them to gallows one by one!
