If Brennan is a Muslim he is almost surely a Sunni and probably converted by Saudi neo-Wahabbists. As such he sees protecting the House of Saud as coextensive with protecting Islam as the Royal House are the 'Protectors of the Holy Places of Islam'. That means only certain jihadis (those who see the Saudi Royal Regime as a corrupt and illegitimate one) can be called terrorists. Thus the effort to deny the centrality of the armed jihad doctrine to the Islamic faith and the need to claim certain terrorists are just lashing out against 'injustice' such as the actions of israel or 'economic injustice'. It is all a smokescreen to confuse the unbelievers and protect the Saudi regime while advancing the cause of Wahabbism.

... Brennan, you stupid piece of trash.

How do you explain the last 1400 years of Imperialist islamic expansion?

[Pontiac]

Brennan defined the enemy as members of bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network and “its terrorist affiliates.” But Brennan argued that it would be “counterproductive” for the United States to use the term, as it would “play into the false perception” that the “murderers” leading war against the West are doing so in the name of a “holy cause.”

So if we do not call Al Qaeda the enemy what do we call them?

Not calling them the enemy is not going to change their minds that they are executing a Holy War against the West and the Great Satan (the USA).

On the larger scale it can’t be limited to Al Qaeda alone, Islam is on the march world wide under many names. Islam has proven itself incompatible with the Western ideals of freedom, the rule of law and justice. Islam can not co-exist with freedom. The real enemy is Islam.

We Conservatives must come to grips with the reality that multiculturalism and political correctness is a death pact with the Liberal Left. We must break with notion that we must use Liberal Speak not offend those who think that all cultures are equally valid. The USA was unique in its founding. In the 18th century Kings and Royalty ruled the world. The US was the first Democratic Republic since the early days of Rome.

The US culture of individual freedom is still largely unique in the world (fading fast unfortunately). It is about time we speak truth to power.

Islam is a sexist, homophobic, intolerant culture and not worthy of respect. The people of the United States should know this. If we listen to their own words it can not be clearer.

I’m guessing Brennan knows squat about Mohammad and his ‘teachings’

CIA CHIEF: JIHAD A PRODUCT OF INJUSTICES, ECONOMICS, AND IGNORANCE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wrongo , A$$HAT!

Jihad is a product of Religious fascism. Its a religious war.History leads any reasonable person to conclude that, just by reading about the religious conquests of India's Mogol period, when Muslims were spared and hundreds of thousands of "infidels" were put to the sword.....before there were firearms.

Was it socio ecpnomics that led the Grand Mufti of Palestine to organize Muslim regiments to fight for Hitler in the Balkans??? No it was Islam itself, supporting Hitler in his extermination of the Jews.

Brennan needs a fatwa focused on him so he can "get it!"The Israelis are laughing at him.

Brennan is a Muslim, many people do not know that. He is said to have converted to Islam when CIA station Chief, Riyadh, in 1996. He speaks Arabic fluently. He is one of the King of Saud's "boys." For Brennan the King of Saud is like the Pope is to most Irish Americans.

Brennan is a traitor to America and the Freedom of the People. Impeachment would be too good for him.

Does anyone know what mosque Brennan attends?

[grobdriver]

What a crock.
The CIA doesn't need to know why they do what they do - only how to find them, and kill them.

Now get busy!

[Joe Boucher]

Is there ANYONE in this federal government who doesn’t have their head up their ass?

[lavaroise]

Jihad is caused by cheap godless robot “ thinking”.

Moral equivalency in all things: gay marriage, transgendering , whatever.

The title seems deliberately misleading about what he said. What he actually said was this
“Western experience has been such that people respond with violence primarily when they feel they are politically, economically, or socially oppressed. While true that many non-Western peoples may fit into this paradigm, the fact is, the ideologies of radical Islam have the intrinsic capacity to prompt Muslims to violence and intolerance vis-à-vis the ‘other,’ irrespective of grievances….”

The point seemed to be that violence in western cultures is triggered by political, economic or social injustice, but that is not necessarily true for muslims. The muzzie religion is itself a trigger to violence.

... lack of education and ignorance ...

Sure. Let's buy that premise for a second.
Who exactly are responsible for keeping young Muslims uneducated and ignorant?
Is it the west or the so-called leaders in Muslim countries?
I know of no western plan to keep Muslims away from education and opportunities. Quite the opposite as a matter of fact.
