Holder: US at war with terrorists who 'corrupt' Islam
The Hill ^ | January 11, 2015 | Elise Viebeck

Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States is at war with terrorists who pervert the Muslim faith in order to justify violence.

Asked on ABC's "This Week" if the U.S. is at war with "radical Islam," Holder said the country is at war "with those who would commit terrorist attacks and who would corrupt the Islamic faith … to try to justify their terrorist actions." "That's who we are at war with," Holder said. "We are determined to take the fight to them to prevent them from engaging in these kinds of activities."

The exchange with "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos came in response to a comment from French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who said Saturday that his country is at war with radical Islam.

Holder gave the interview from Paris, where he is marching alongside other world leaders in solidarity with the French. Officials are also set to hold high-level intelligence talks.

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Holder said Sunday that the United States is at risk of facing attacks similar to the ones that struck Paris last week, killing 17 people.

Holder is either an idiot or an unindicted co-conspirator.

And once again we see graphic evidence that Holder’s mind is infected with Magic Thinking ... and it is no longer surprising to see this in a black person’s mind!

Terrorists don’t corrupt Islam. Islam corrupts men to become terrorists.

Holder is inadvertently telling the truth here for a change - anyone who is a “moderate” muslim, like El-Sisi, is the Enemy and must be destroyed. Pure islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood thugs, now they are the ones that need our help! Drop all those arms (accidentally) to the purists know as ISIS, that’s the Obama way.

And the best way to wage war with terrorists who ‘corrupt’ Islam is with lawyers.

Eric Holder.

Spit.

So our policy is to purify the Muslim religion. Of the 2 billion Muslims on earth if only 10% are terrorists we must war against 200 million Muslims, more than half the total population of the US.
A better idea is to go to war with all Muslims until they clean up their own mess.
The simple truth is Muslims have no interest in controlling violent extremists in their midst. They are exemplars of the faith.

Holder was dispatched to France by Obama to protect Islam.

Hey Eric!

What part of the Koran is promoting “good”?

Wouldn’t finding that be a prerequisite to “corruption”?

And some people are snorting cocaine to get high, instead of what it's actually for, which is... um... just a minute...
