There is going to have to be clarification of this from the Trump administration. Is it going to continue the denial and willful ignorance of the Bush and Obama administrations, which under Obama in particular hamstrung the ability of intelligence and law enforcement officials to deal adequately with the jihad threat, as it was wrong diagnosed, and the wrong prescriptions were applied. Speaking about “radical Islamic terrorism,” or more precisely, “Islamic jihad,” doesn’t stigmatize all Muslims, as the Left and Islamic supremacists insist; it merely allows us to study and understand the motivating ideology of the jihadis, and thereby counter them effectively.
“H.R. McMaster Breaks With Administration on Views of Islam,” by Mark Landler and Eric Schmitt, New York Times, February 24, 2017:
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s newly appointed national security adviser has told his staff that Muslims who commit terrorist acts are perverting their religion, rejecting a key ideological view of other senior Trump advisers and signaling a potentially more moderate approach to the Islamic world.
The adviser, Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, told the staff of the National Security Council on Thursday, in his first “all hands” staff meeting, that the label “radical Islamic terrorism” was not helpful because terrorists are “un-Islamic,” according to people who were in the meeting.
That is a repudiation of the language regularly used by both the president and General McMaster’s predecessor, Michael T. Flynn, who resigned last week after admitting that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about a phone call with a Russian diplomat.
It is also a sign that General McMaster, a veteran of the Iraq war known for his sense of history and independent streak, might move the council away from the ideologically charged views of Mr. Flynn, who was also a three-star Army general before retiring.
Wearing his Army uniform, General McMaster spoke to a group that has been rattled and deeply demoralized after weeks of upheaval, following a haphazard transition from the Obama administration and amid the questions about links to Russia, which swiftly engulfed Mr. Flynn.
General McMaster, several officials said, has been vocal about his views on dealing with Islamic militancy, including with Mr. Trump, who on Monday described him as “a man of tremendous talent, tremendous experience.” General McMaster got the job after Mr. Trump’s first choice, Robert S. Harward, a retired Navy vice admiral, turned it down.
Within a day of his appointment on Monday, General McMaster was popping into offices to introduce himself to the council’s professional staff members. The staff members, many of them holdovers from the Obama administration, felt viewed with suspicion by Mr. Trump’s team and shut out of the policy-making process, according to current and former officials.
In his language, General McMaster is closer to the positions of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Both took pains to separate acts of terrorism from Islamic teaching, in part because they argued that the United States needed the help of Muslim allies to hunt down terrorists.
“This is very much a repudiation of his new boss’s lexicon and worldview,” said William McCants, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of “The ISIS Apocalypse.”
“McMaster, like Obama, is someone who was in positions of leadership and thought the United States should not play into the jihadist propaganda that this is a religious war,” Mr. McCants said.
“There is a deep hunger for McMaster’s view in the interagency,” he added, referring to the process by which the State Department, Pentagon and other agencies funnel recommendations through the National Security Council. “The fact that he has made himself the champion of this view makes people realize they have an advocate to express dissenting opinions.”
But Mr. McCants and others cautioned that General McMaster’s views would not necessarily be the final word in a White House where Mr. Trump and several of his top advisers view Islam in deeply xenophobic terms. Some aides, including the president’s chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, have warned of a looming existential clash between Islam and the Judeo-Christian world….

After all the Half Black- Muslim-Liberal- progressist crook surrounded himself with idiots only (Biden, Hillary, Kerry, Susan Rice, Podesta, Holden, Valerie Jarrett, Lynch, Pelosi etc. not to speak of scores of Muslim (Brotherhood) advisers.
Somebody says
Obama was a populist, and he used things like social democracy and ideas like distributing the wealth to everyone, not the capitalist ideas like survival of the fittest. Trump is ultra capitalists and it will not help him in the eyes of middle class or low class people. Politics requires sensitivity for mid and low class people.
Meanwhile, I support Trump but he needs to learn a bit of social democracy to make people comfortable.
Ron says
What you find unattractive about Trump I find fascinating. His direct manner and absence of all the things that go into making a politician the mealy mouthed, double speaking, indecisive people they usually are are missing in Trump. I find his honesty and indifference to accepted protocol refreshing. He fully intends to attack problems, not just talk about them
We have waited 30 years to address the immigration problem because the issue was politically sensitive, and most politicians either choose to avoid controversy, or they are looking to their corporate masters to see which way the wind blows.Trump, on the other hand, has the courage of his convictions and doesn’t give a damn about being everything to everyone.
Anon says
Most high rankiing generals are political hacks who learned a long time ago they needed to take the PC/MC road if they wanted promotions or avoid getting fired. McMasters is no different.
Also he’s still stuck in 1985 and thinks Russia is our mortal enemy. Heck the guy has been studying for years how to invade Russia.
To be blunt he’s a bad choice unless you’re planning large scale conventional military assaults. I knew that the moment that McCain and the rest of the Democratic establishment gushed positive praise about him,.
I don’t see him lasting out the year before he quits. He’s a bad fit and the next time we’re hit with a Muzzie terror attack I can see McMaster mouthing off that it doesn’t represent Islam and Trump taking the boot to the clown.
Ron says
Career military scare me.The ones I’ve known check with their superiors to find out what opinions they should have.

@mousey McMaster had the following conversation with Muslims-
McMaster: Is it true that Islam permits lying as some Islamophobes claim?
Musliims: No, not true at all.
McMaster: Phew, what a relief! Next question, Is Islam a religion of peace or violence?
Muslims: Islam is religion of peace, of course.
McMaster: Is terrorism Islamic?
Muslims: No, it is completely un-islamic. Quran says whoever kills a man, it is as if he killed all humanity.
So what is the need for McMaster to read Quran etc? He has his answers and nary a doubt. You would do the same, no?
Mockingjay says

Someone in Trumps staff not mentioning islam alongside terrorism: “No, no, Trump MUST make him say islam alongside terrorism or fire him because not saying islam alongside terrorism is being like Obama, even though I defended Putin when he did so!”
Hmmmm, almost as if CB lacks any sort of internal consistency and is simply shilling out for Putin…
P.S.: You want to talk about enabling jihadism? How about you explain why Russia has been helping Iran, the number one terrorism sponsoring state in the world, for decades?
Wellington says
You have no room to talk, Christianblood. Putin and the Russian Patriarch have both made many positive statements about Islam. Deny this and you are either a liar or massively ill informed.
In fact, and as I pointed out to you before, someone like Robert Spencer would not be able to assert what he does about Islam in Putin’s Russia. Such a person like Robert Spencer would be silenced one way or another by that great control-freak and freedom-crusher, Putin.
And yet it is your wont to go on and on and on about what America is doing wrong and never, and I mean NEVER, indicating what Russia is doing wrong, including sucking up to Islam big time and disallowing any major criticism of Islam as occurs here at JW regularly and which you participate in, but ordinarily by ad nauseam praising of Holy Mother Russia and ad nauseam denigration of America.
Gee, can you spell “PARASITE?” And how about “HYPOCRITE?”

You keep repeating the same meaningless buzzwords, thinking they mean something of substance when all they do is make you look like an ignorant buffoon. Didn’t Putin say Russia was the protector of the islamic world? Isn’t Russia the third largest supplier of foreign fighters to ISIS? Isn’t Russia having to deal with a permanent state of islamic insurgency in Chechnia since the 90s? Did Russia not pass a law making it illegal to preach the Gospel in the street? Didn’t Russia decriminalized dpmectic violence? Isn’t Russia expected to become a muslim-majority country before the turn of the century? How does shouting “Liberal Democracy! Decadent West! Political correctness” change any of that?
“If islamic jihadists try to wage a jihadist war in Russia they will be annihilated!”
Again: how’s Chechnia faring so far? Oh, right – not only is the islamic insurgency going on for two decades now, but also the Chechn jihadi who told his followers to kill as many Russians as possible was written in Russian History as a “hero of the Russian Federation” and got a bridge named after him in Saint Petersbourg.

Trump is president because Americans have had enough of this line of obvious bullshit Get your head out of your ass, McMaster!
PRCS says
Having said what he did, it will be difficult for McMaster to admit he’s wrong–if he ever does.
Daniel Triplett says
McMaster is too much of a know-it-all, condescending, arrogant fool to ever admit he’s wrong.
I’m a 21 year USAF Officer/Pilot and 6 yr war vet. I saw it all the time…the people who campaign for and really want to be in command positions are more often than not, the kind of people who shouldn’t be in command. Don’t let all the stars on McMaster’s shoulders fool you. It’s all political at senior ranks; especially the 3 and 4-Star level. A whole lot of ass-kissing and sycophancy involved.
Kind of like cops: The kind of people who really want to be cops, are often the kind of people who shouldn’t be cops. That said, I’ve served in the military with enlisted Reserve guys who were cops in their civilian jobs, and they were outstanding Patriots. But most cops I’ve run into with no military background are not such men of sound character. Seems like most civilian cops wipe their ass with our Constitution, as a nuisance to be circumvented. While our military promises to sacrifice their lives if necessary, against all enemies foreign and domestic, to support and defend that piece of paper. The Sacred Document that is our US Constitution; and we’re all very proud to do so.
Cops are quite different than US Military.
Don’t get me wrong. There are many fine military leaders whom I’d follow to the End of the Earth. But there are a lot of arrogant know-nothing pricks too; the kind who want to sit at a desk in the US and command from the rear. Usually those guys are the cowards, on top of it all. They find any excuse they can to fly the easy missions to Europe, S America, Hawaii, or Australia. Which leaves the combat missions to the war fighting Patriots who wear the uniform to fight and kill, and possibly be killed, all to defend America and freedom.
It’s been many decades since we’ve had bad-asses like Gen Curtis LeMay wear the stars. He’s America’s longest serving 4-Star in history, father of Strategic Area Bombing and USAF Strategic Air Command, and the one American serviceman credited with more kills than any other (over 350,000 enemy soldiers and civilians at a minimum).
During the European campaign, the British bombed at night, and the Americans bombed in the day. The Nazis were quite lethal with their fighter air intercepts, along with anti-aircraft artillery. European bomber crews had the highest mortality rate of any other combatants during the war. So many died, the POTUS issued a directive; those crews completing 30 bombing missions could go home for the rest of the war. Very few made 30. The majority died between 10 and 20 missions.
Naturally, this scared the crap out of our bomber crews. Many approached their targets zig-zagging, so the Nazi AAA crews couldn’t get a bead on them. However, this greatly compromised the efficacy of the bombing and Battle Damage Assessment.
General LeMay ordered them to fly a straight line over the target to improve battle damage. The Officers resisted loudly. To lead by example, LeMay himself flew the lead plane in the following most dangerous missions, flying a straight line over the target, at great danger to the General who was in charge of bombing missions for the whole theater. This engendered great respect and courage in all of his pilots who watched the legend himself do this. From then on, everyone flew straight lines over target, greatly improving damage inflicted on the enemy. We razed every major German city to the ground, killing every German man, woman, and child in sight. Collateral damage was the objective.
General LeMay carried his same strategies into the Japanese War. With the new high altitude B-29s, enemy fighters and AAA were ineffective at reaching the new high-tech bombers at 30,000 feet. So we bombed with impunity. However, high winds blew the bombs off-target, so the Battle Damage Assessment indicated very little enemy damage.
So, General LeMay had a new plan, and new orders for the pilots: Fly over target low, at night, at 5000 feet, which made the B-29s highly vulnerable to AAA. The pilots, once again, protested loudly. So, once again, General LeMay lead by example, and lead the subsequent most dangerous missions by flying the lead plane, in formations of 300 – 400 B-29s. This reduced the fear, and generated courage in his pilots from that point on, having great respect, inspiration, and admiration for their Commander in charge.
Gen Curtis LeMay is a true American hero, whose contributions contributed greatly to our victory in both theaters. His strategies are still used today. The man is one of my personal heroes. Sad we don’t have more LeMays today.

McMaster tells NSC staff that label “radical Islamic terrorism” not helpful because terrorists are “un-Islamic”
………………………
Worse and worse. Even here at Jihad Watch, many have claimed that McMaster had only said that Jihad was “un-Islamic” to protect himself under the Obama administration. Of course, this would not bode well, either–if he were so craven that he would lie when not even under threat of bodily harm.
But everything we have heard from him since–in any case–is that he really believes this twaddle, which seemed most likely to me from the beginning.
I knew this was a potential problem with Trump early on–I think his instincts re Islam are generally good: he recognizes it as a threat–bu this does not have a lot of solid knowledge, and tends to be scattershot in his approach.
Taking on idiots like McMaster, alas, are the predictable fruits of such gaps in knowledge.
Everyone here should be acting to educate the president on this problem–I know I will be. If enough people write, we may be able to get through.

“McMaster tells NSC staff that label “radical Islamic terrorism” not helpful because terrorists are “un-Islamic”
I am not surprised, gravenimage! Real change in the US administration., not only regarding Islam, but other foreign and domestic policies, and this apply to other western countries, has to come from the bottom up, not the top down. In other words, the general population should learn more, become more aware of and conscious to, not only Islam’s threat, but themselves, their values, their history, the place money and material things occupy in their hierarchy of values, to be able to change themselves and their views on essential and fundamental life matters, and from there change will travel up the chain of command, ultimately to the administration and the president,
Many people in the west, including you and me, know that the real problem is Islam, plain and simple. Meanwhile many are not aware what price is going to have to be paid to face the problem of Islam, head on. That will include a radical change in the standard of living for everyone and many sacrifices would eventually be necessary to make, let alone the certain prospect of war and more bloodshed. While you, me, other fellow commenters on this site, the likes of Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and other prominent anti jihad colleagues, are to pay this price, rightly and judiciously so, many are not, including may very rich people who supported the new administration and other high ranking government officials..
In other words, many know the real problem is Islam but when time comes to take real drastic action, they’re not ready to make the necessary sacrifices, lose their standard of living, lose real or imaginary allies, inside or outside the US or any other considerations, deemed by them important enough. The pain associated with real change is so great for them than the reward that would come from it. So at the end of the day real change is put off to another day, administration or generation.
The stupidity in all of this is their shortsightedness, not knowing that by postponing dealing with the real problem, Islam, now, they’re creating problems of unimaginable scale, not only to future generations, but to humanity as a whole!

Intelligence and lives are wasted if information is prevented from being
acted on in a timely manner. NOW, Let’s wait and see if US military
activity picks up. The ROE’s are changing in our favor.
Guest says
Guardian: “One source said McMaster was “very clear” that he viewed Russia “as an adversary””
So, he hasn’t woken up to the new realities of an even more dangerous ideology.

Where is Trump getting these names from? Which advisors gave him Harwood and McMasters? What a disastrous pick.
The CPAC panel on part 2 of When Did WW III Begin was just as clueless as McMasters. These are very bad signs.

Very serious.
Can we mobilize organizations (e.g. DH Freedom Center, America First, etc.) and scores of dedicated citizens to stop this appointment?
I am ready roll up my sleeves and/or hop on plane to make our concerns known on the hill.
I just cannot believe this…
rubiconcrest says
So we are going to try to convince Muslims that what they learn from their religious texts is not Islamic. Is it no better to admit that the religion has a problem? This is the only way forward for many who want nothing to do with jihad, the Hadd punishments and political Islam. You are throwing millions of allies under the bus. Orhtodox Muslims will never be our friends.
Steve Klein says
My view. Media attacks on the President have taken their toll. Thus this unfortunate appointment.
Pong says
McMaster’s views are opposite to the president’s. As such he undermines the president. In Australia, if a cabinet member does anything like that, he must submit resignation. President Trump should immidiatly fire him. Even such weak president as Obama would not tolerate opposition to his policies.
David Grisez says
It appears that in the United States government a large number of people believe the lie that Islam is a religion of peace and has nothing to do with terrorism and jihad. Once a person believes this lie, they will also believe that these terrorists are not islamic and they will believe that ISIS is not Islamic. This false belief results in these people not being able to approach and handle properly the problem of Islamic terrorism.
bobm says
we must stand on truth… in a toxic sludge of Islamic spew … if we do not hold to the obvious reality of written Islamic intent… and call it what it is .. painful and costly though it may be .. we will drown in the muck of lies ..Islamic air is moving in the purposes of the prince of the power of the air..it drowns people in fear and confusion.
kikorikid says
The proper “label” should be “Islamic Jihad Terrorism”.
Angemon says
Worst scenario confirmed, then. Whatever scepticism I had so far went out the window…
They have the Obama administration to thank for that.
Flynn fell because he lied. What, exactly, is outrageous about a member of a newly elected administration conversing with foreign diplomats? No, I’m certain that, had Flynn been upfront about his conversations with Russian diplomats from the get go, Trump would have defended him.
How’s that working out so far?
One can only hope so.

Greyhound Fancier says
Of course Islam is “the other”. My non-religious family spoke of the cruelty of Islamic punishments, such as amputations and stoning, even when I was a little girl. That cruelty is common knowledge.
Non-Mohammedans in the Middle East, Pakistan, and most of Africa are constantly in peril, at the whim of the Mohammedans – especially after the worship of the moon-god each Friday.
It is utterly sane and sensible for any serious Christian, Hindu, Jew, or atheist to be fearful of Islam. The many martyrs in the past century are evidence of this.
Troybeam says
This man needs to be replaced ASAP, his view on Islam is not correct, perhaps replaced with Lt. Col. Allen West, Ret.
bobm says
yes..
dumbledoresarmy says
SEconding that suggestion re Allen West.
Perhaps jihadwatchers need to 1/ write to Trump making that proposal and 2/ write to West, saying, “Man, **your country needs you**” and indeed *the entire infidel world needs an America with a National Security Adviser” who has NO illusions about Islam and Jihad and the centrality of Jihad to Islam.
West has done his homework; I recall reading a piece by him in which he mentioned a couple of the great historic battles of Infidel self-defence against Jihad – Tours 732, and the Siege of Malta.
kikorikid says
How’s this: An excersize in abrogation.
Every General Officer should be required to read 20 Sura’s
ten before Sura 87 and ten Sura’s after. The point being
to discern any “abrogation”.
What they will find is “Death to infidels” before and after Sura 87
Sure wish Mohammed had even a teensy amount of .tolerance.
not to be.
jewdog says
This just shows what a half-wit Trump is. He has just belied all his previous statements deriding the Democrats’ unwillingness to say Islamic terrorism. He obviously lacks intellectual integrity, or depth. I guess we get the government we deserve.
davej says
Xenophobia. Islamophobia. Both carry the connotation of “irrational” or “imaginary”, the first of “strangers” and the second of Islamists.
We need a new word that carries the meaning of actual experience, of lessons learned. It is perfectly reasonable to be cautious with strangers, at least until you have learned their true intent. Once you have it is no longer a “phobia”, it is, in the case of Islamists, a well justified distaste and contempt.
Leftists are reluctant to draw logical conclusions lest it disturb the party line. They are as brainwashed as the average Muslim.
Terry Gain says
Muslims who emulate Mohammed aren’t Islamic. Man is this stupidity depressing.
Greyhound Fancier says
Since Mohammed instructed them to follow his example as “the perfect man”, wouldn’t that make the closest followers of Mohammed the most Islamic?
kikorikid says
Is that a question? or just a declarative sentence?
Yes, I think that they think this.
bobm says
WOW; the pixy dust just wore off… this double minded trumpet is a shape shifter..
Wellington says
Not sure what Trump is up to with this appointment. On the surface it obviously appears quite troubling but perhaps Trump wants a wrong guy on the inside pissing out rather than on the outside pissing in. I mean better to have those who oppose you closer to you than far away. Think The Godfather here.
Don’t know for sure. Well, a President may have members of his Administration for purposes of politics but not ones he listens to. Just don’t know at this point. Time will tell——-and it probably won’t take much time. Just not sure at this moment in time what is up here. Does anyone?
Mark Swan says
Wellington says, “Just not sure at this moment in time what is up here. Does anyone? ”
Absolutely Not Sure Either.
He needed to fill a hole; General McMaster will either do it or get off the pot, with President Trump.
If he still wants to drain the swamp, as he mention earlier, this is a major swamp,
in order to drain it properly, a lot of engineering concerns must be met.
This Mr. Bannon, seems to be interesting, yet only time will tell, how interesting. If he stays
loyal to the President, he is a mystery man for sure, and he is aware of Islam’s nonsense.
The State Department seems to be coming along ok, so far, yet even there it will
have President Trump to answer to, he is a working President, this should be interesting,
with a result oriented Administration, that has different goals from the previous
American-Pragmatism says
I am failing to see why Trump tapped this guy.

EYESOPEN says
This is what I just sent to President Trump. Let’s hope that HE gets to see it!
Dear President Trump:
I know that you have been working “overtime” – and then some – for America. However, the choice of Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster as National Security Advisor has many of us VERY worried. This man apparently knows little-to-nothing about izlam (sic – on purpose) to make the kind of remarks he has made about ISIS being un-islamic, and that “…the label ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ was not helpful because terrorists are ‘“un-Islamic’…”.
This is a REAL problem for us as supporters of “TRUMP: MAGA”, because izlam (sic – on purpose) IS the problem. Not “radical izlam” – just izlam. Please, PLEASE do NOT allow U.S. foreign or domestic policy to be made by someone who is clearly clueless as to where the major threat lies, not just to the U.S.A., but to ALL Western nations. If you have any doubts about the danger of the threat, please contact Mr. Robert Spencer at http://www.jihadwatch.org or even Stephen Coughlin – both men who used to inform our military and intelligence agencies before the age of “political correctness” made them persona non grata.
This sort of Bush, Obama tripe about izlam being a “religion of peace” is perhaps the WORST lie that was ever propagated to the American people. Please do not let this go un-contested. With a “political”, CFR man at the helm of National Security, your administration would fail the American people as badly as did the rest of the idiots we have had to put up with for the last 30+ years.
Here are a couple of the latest articles at Jihad Watch to let you know just how worried we are:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/mcmaster-tells-nsc-staff-that-label-radical-islamic-terrorism-not-helpful-because-terrorists-are-un-islamic
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/general-mcmaster-and-that-perverted-interpretation-of-religion-used-to-justify-violence
Please don’t let us down. If we can’t get THIS right, NO economic changes will amount to a hill of beans in the long run. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with input that I sincerely hope will be helpful to you.

Greyhound Fancier says
It can’t be true that the POTUS cannot find just one person qualified to be NSA who sees Mohammedanism as the threat it truly is.
somehistory says
Perhaps when he was in Iraq, he converted. To keep *protecting* the evil beast is something that secret converts, like that other guy at the CIA, do. They work to preserve the “image” of the “wild beast’ from satan the devil. And someway, they manage to keep their high positions of power to promote the image by speeches and broadcasts about the *wonderfulness* and *peacefulness* of islam, when they have to know in their heart that it is all one big long-lasting lie.
They have been given evil power by the devil, himself to promote, protect and cause others to bow down.
mortimer says
This CUCK general has to go.
If Islam has NOTHING to do with Islam in his opinion… then his job has NOTHING to do with understanding JIHAD.
Everyone who FAILS to LEARN ABOUT JIHAD is UNSUITABLE to work in national security. No exceptions.
Fire McMaster… he’s a disaster.
tgusa says
Don’t just say it general site the historical precedents.
Apparently US military leaders no longer learn and study history.
tgusa says
I firmly believe that most all our top military leaders are stuck in the 20th century, and perhaps to some degree the 19th and 18th century’s as well. The American Revolution is about as far back their knowledge goes. and that compared to world history, is simple.
I demand better!
dumbledoresarmy says
It appears that they’ve forgotten that little episode of the Barbary Pirates.
They need to be reminded.
tgusa says
I wonder if they have any clue that they cannot and will not ever get fighting men to buy in to this sort of bs.
duh swami says
Trump is too soft on Islam…
Campos Mário says
Yes, that is true !
RoberM says
“The staff members, many of them holdovers from the Obama administration…”
Big mistake, President Trump. You need to get rid of those staffers mosh skosh rikki tik.
Gordon Miller says
McMaster has said enough about his position on Islam. No more vetting is necessary.
For god’s sake, Mr. President, withdraw his appointment immediately.
dumbledoresarmy says
Tweet him and say so. Demand it.
Everyone who is worried about McMaster, tweet Trump NOW.
Send letters, too.
Suggest that he have a nice quiet talk with Col (Ret) Allen West.
Allen West knows exactly what we are dealing with. He knows about Jihad.
And it would be fun to see heads exploding all over the media as President Trump called upon a fine old-fashioned – and thoroughly Islamosavvy – black American soldier to lead the charge against the Jihad.
Drop McMaster. Call up West, instead.
Campos Mário says
Traitors ! Traitors ! Traitors !
Everywhere You look you will find traitors .
They are the reason the weak islamists’s come.
Martin says
I think it is profoundly more unhelpful to have someone in McMaster’s position that thinks its his job to be an apologist for the religion of Islam. If the terrorists are Muslim and declare that Islam is the justification for all the horrible things they do that’s where his analysis needs to stop. No one in government should be entering into an argument about what is and isn’t Islamic. They are Muslim terrorists There is nothing else you can call what they do but Islamic terrorism. If you deny the Islamic part then you are being willfully blind to what motivates them. Whether anyone thinks they have a “correct” view of Islam is entirely irrelevant, They think they do and that’s all that matters.
McMasters also seems like one of these dimwits that thinks if we don’t say nice things about Islam then we are responsible for Muslims joining terrorist organizations. I would not be surprised in the least if he held that view.
Demsci says
Yes, he seems to think that respect should be given to Muslims by whitewashing Islam. And by misrepresenting Islam.
But respect is also possible when you say; look, maybe our own democratic system has also many flaws.
but that system and Islam, or the interpretation of Islam by hundreds of millions of Muslims, are in contradiction on essential Tenets, loyalties.
And though we respect Islam on it’s home territory, we CHOOSE our own societal system over it and will defend it to the bitter end. Moreover, we want to promote our model to the point that it has equal chances as Islam to be chosen by the next generations, as we are for honest competition between societal ideologies where as Islam and so many Muslims are not.
For me people like McMaster seem unimaginative and intellectually lazy.
Florida Jim says
This is what Islam want the world to believe, “we are not the problem, the radicals are” They enter and begin the rape of that nation ending in A Caliphate, Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya and death to all enemies , which is everyone not of their particular sect. anyone who believes differently is a fool.
Richie says
Then he is either mind numbingly ignorant about Islam, or just wants toi make them excuses.
There is NO way we can defeat islamic terrorists if we wont even identify the enemy.
Richie says
Most triubling. Will every Islamic terrorist attack now be preceeded with a long winded Obamaesque praise of the ‘peaceful’ narure of Islam and that terrorism has nothing to do with islam? A very bad selection imo. This is someone Hillary would have picked
Catherine says
My first inclination is not to want to jump to conclusions, but it’s pretty hard to overlook that ol’ familiar feeling at the words that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Could this be part of a strategy to root out the above-mentioned “Obama holdovers” within NSC, as they will be comfortable expressing “dissenting opinions”? Stay tuned.
Holdovers are undoubtedly the cause of leaks that have been plaguing this administration. Swamp drainage needed! And Should Gen. McMaster not work out, I agree with the commenters who mention Lt. Col. West for the position.
As to Mr. Bannon’s belief in a “looming existential clash between Islam and the Judeo-Christian world”, I would say it’s not “looming”, it’s already here. It just is, even though it may still be possible for some not to notice.
Dale Netherton says
First we heard that the words “Radical Islamic Terrorism” were taboo. Now we are to hear that Islamic terrorism isn’t Islamic. How stupid do you have to be to be a general?
abad says
Trump should fire McMaster.
Seems that McMaster is still suffering from Obamaitis
Debi Brand says
“Trump should fire McMaster.”
Indeed, if he has any connection to words he has spoken on Islam and the adherents to that faith system, he should do the above and, as others here have stated, If not reinstate Flynn, then hire LTC. Allen B. West for the position.
Debi Brand says
Why is Flynn’s alleged lie to V.P. Pense “firing-worthy,” and to date, MCMaster’s lie to his staff, and thus to the American people, less then position-termination-earning?
PittsburghGal says
People, remember that this article is a NYT article, and again, no solid source “according the people who attended”. Now, don’t ya think that some media would have been there?? I see this article is being regurgitated all over the Internet…how much you want to bet it is more fake news?

No solid source for the quote, but CNN ‘independently confirms’, How can CNN confirm if they heard it 3rd hand??

Bro. Nick says
Debi Brand – It is my opinion that Pres. Trump is more and constantly-more acting in accordance with the ‘True Agenda’ that he is to propagate – AND – unfortunately – it is not a joke
– For it is my understanding that Pres. Trump is a “subtilly” and intentionally placed pawn of ‘the power elite’
– AND – in my personal opinion – Biblically a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’
– For the ‘Master Agenda’ continues to be a ‘One World Governance’ by whatever means ‘the power elite’ can attain it !
DFD says
“….that the United States needed the help of Muslim allies to hunt down terrorists….”
Allies? Muslim allies? – Hilarious!
“…..should not play into the jihadist propaganda that this is a religious war,” Mr. McCants said.”……….”
Propaganda? They actually speak the truth in that respect. At least according to the Koran and the Sunnah. They make war on us **because we are Christians, Jews and atheists**. They make war on us because their ‘religion’ commands them to do so. And that’s that!
“….The fact that he has made himself the champion of this view makes people realize they have an advocate to express dissenting opinions.”…. And it should make others realize that these **ARE** his views!
Moreover, I thought as members of the executive they **have to carry out, that is ‘_to_execute_orders’**. And not to practice dissenting ones, which they will.
However, if they are merely of ‘dissenting opinions’, then all that’s required is a letter of resignation; or a request for transfer. This actually happened during the Nazi tyranny in Germany. SS members who did not want to participate in the camps could, and several did, ask for transfer, fighting duty or whatever. Those who ‘served’ in the camps did not have to do so!
If that was possible, and occurred, under Nazi circumstances, can’t those guys in Washington ask for transfer or resign?
Of course they can. They are Obamaists (****applause please!****) to the core, that is their conviction. And McMaster’s is on their line. Otherwise he would not only oppose, but replace them. Or does he not know, as a general, that he has been given charge and thus the ability to hire and to fire? Doesn’t that strike anyone as odd? And that he has won against Iraqis and some other Muslims? So what! It’s very difficult to lose against Muslims if you command the army of an industrialized and industrious nation… Not even Don Quichote could lose that one.
Finally, referring to Mr. Bannon believing in a “looming existential clash between Islam and the Judeo – Christian world”, it has been looming since the early 70’s, looming in the sense of ‘openly’. From about that time onward the mosques in the UK were filled with an endless stream of small hate propaganda booklets, for free, many by ‘Begum Khan’ from Pakistan (she was a wealthy supporter of {stealth} jihad). Latest since 9-11 it’s in the open. Let me be clear about this, we are in WW3, the Muslim against the Christian world. We are being bombed, shelled, rocketed, shot at, throats cut and tortured, our places of worship attacked and desecrated, see dome of Cologne plus smaller churches all over the western world – don’t you think that’s war? And the foundations of that war are religious. Or at least, they are being held as religious by those who are on the offensive and who started that war. And who maintain the momentum of it. BTW, there wasn’t and isn’t, and there wont be, a single protest demo against all or any of this in the **entire Muslim world**. Hence my statement that we are in WW3, in Jesus’ name: WAKE UP!
Bro. Nick says
DFD – I very much concur with your blunt analysis of what is happening more and ever-more rapidly all around the world – and ‘We ain’t seen nothin’ YET’
BUT – How very-very few people that call themselves ‘Christians’ – not only here in ‘Amerika’ – but also increasingly all around the world will WAKE UP!
– even though we have been given Biblical WARNING:
“Thus saith the LORD;
CURSED BE THE MAN THAT TRUSTETH IN MAN,
and maketh flesh his arm,
AND WHOSE HEART DEPARTETH FROM THE LORD.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.”
(Jeremiah 17:5-6 ~ AV)

Lydia says
Hi Robert,
It’s “opposite day” every day with these puppets. Who ever will parrot the script they want read, those will get the microphones. I hate to burst bubbles but it’s all a puppet show. Eventually the guys who land in the slots will be doing the same bidding that the past ones have. The changing of the guards does nothing to change the agenda because its the guys behind the guys who have the agenda. It looks good at the start but that’s just window dressing. Once the dust settles, they are still coming for us. The opposite day ‘Orwellian’ speak will continue to get worse. Don’t be fooled by the olive branches. They are just continuing the party lines and won’t come out and say what really needs to be said not because they don’t see it, but because they hope you won’t see it. Do not put your trust in them.
Bro. Nick says
Robert – well said – and just exactly as it was Biblically Prophesied 2,500+ years ago:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff,
so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust:
because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.”
(Isaiah 5:20-24 ~ AV)
.
Gary Henderson says
For Gods sake, man, that is exactly what Obama said!!!
Rob says
So we have yet another dick head who has obviously never read a Koran or bothered to listen to what refugees from Islamic terrorism are saying. Fantastic.
Kasey says
Is this guy working as a Trump supporter or as an Obama clone?
Bro. Nick says
Is the answer YES to both – for we truly are living in the wicked days of “deceiving, and being deceived”
dumbledoresarmy says
Dear Allen West.
Your country needs you.
It needs your clear-eyed hard-headed awareness of what Jihad is, and how long it is that the West (and other infidel societies) have been struggling to ward it off.
Bro. Nick says
I am personally not surprised whatsoever about the selection of Lt. Gen. McMaster by Pres. Trump to be the Chief of the NSC
– Nor am I surprised in the least about the ‘Politically-Correct’ non-Islamaphobic statements deliberately made by Lt. Gen. McMaster to the personnel of the NSC.
For my personal thoughts from several months before Pres. Trump was elected are – That he was “subtilly” selected, and then ‘placed in power’ by the ‘powers elite’
– for it should always be remembered that Pres. Trump is another charismatic but very reprobate, 3 times divorced, known adulterer, and frequently very foul-mouthed, quite wealthy member of the ‘elite’
– and that he will very possibly be the most dangerous “antichrist” “deceiving” President YET here in ‘Amerika’ – for he is – in my personal opinion – Biblically a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’
– and by reading and hearing a little bit about Pres. Trump’s actions – I have NOT personally observed any real or genuine interest in anything about “the the certainty of the words of truth” that are written in “the word of the Lord” – or about ‘Biblical CHRISTianity’ – or any real spiritual concern about “ISRAEL” – the people and their God given eternal homeland.
So – my personally understanding is that Pres. Trump will continue to make what seem to be conflicting selections of Cabinet members and Government Representives and Advisors – and Policies
– and I do not expect Pres. Trump to even attempt to change ANY of the following Laws and Presidential Directives in this increasingly “antichrist”, ‘spiritually black’, and morally bankrupt ‘podt-Christian’ ‘neo-Pagan’ country of ‘Amerika’
– which has ‘Legally Murdered’ an estimated FIFTY to SEVENTY MILLION Unborn Babies in the last 44 years
– that has ‘Legalized’ ‘same-sex marriage’
– that is now condoning the ‘Trans-sexual’ perversions – LGBPTTQQIIAA+ @ http://itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2013/01/a-comprehensive-list-of-lgbtq-term-definitions/#sthash.sFDbTxVT.dpbs
– and has also approved ‘non-binary gender identification’
BUT – ‘the Weeping Prophet Jeremiah’ WARNED long ago:
“Thus saith the LORD;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm,
and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.”
(Jeremiah 17:5-6 ~ AV)
