Rarely is a speech widely praised before it is even delivered. But such was the case for the speech Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal delivered to the Henry Jackson Society, a London-based think-tank, on January 18. In that speech, Jindal spoke forthrightly about the rising menace of “Islamic extremism.”
And the critics, as the saying goes, went wild. Larry Kudlow’s article, “Jindal’s Brilliant Take on Radical Islam,” exemplifies the reaction of conservative pundits to Jindal’s speech. In his article, Kudlow specifically praises this quote (emphasis mine):
Muslim leaders must make clear that anyone who commits acts of terror in the name of Islam is in fact not practicing Islam at all. If they refuse to say this, then they are condoning these acts of barbarism. There is no middle ground.
I admire Bobby Jindal (and, for that matter, Larry Kudlow), but, with all due respect to the governor, amid a speech that otherwise is indeed brilliant, a “brilliant take on radical Islam” is lacking. What is brilliant about calling on respectful, law-abiding Muslims to say that “anyone who commits acts of terror in the name of Islam is in fact not practicing Islam at all”? On the contrary, this writer struggles to remember an aftermath of an incident such as the recent Paris attacks, when Muslims have not hastened to declare that the perpetrators were “not practicing Islam.”
More distressing is that Jindal, in fact, violates his own dictum, when he first says…
When a country or a movement is behaving badly on the international stage, we must not pretend otherwise.
You cannot remedy a problem if you will not name it and define it.

In case anyone is interested, including Jindal and any other elected officials,
there is a clear English translation available.
It is unwhitewashed and clearly states in English what is written in Arabic.
I don’t think you were supposed to reveal that ... yet.
I doubt that Jindal has read the Koran. Rather he’s read the tea leaves and has discoverd that radical Islam is a good talking point for his presidential campaign.
Interesting take on that:

Bttt
Jindal said that? Disappointing.
One small error is what everyone is saying.
The terrorists ARE practising islam. I’m waiting to hear the first brave politician who dares to utter this truth.
If a politician starts calling terrorism for what it is -— SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE TENETS OF ISLAM AS PRACTICED BY MOHAMMAD, I highly doubt if he’d get elected the next time.

...where perceived infidels of all type are beheaded in the public square.
This version has been around for years. In mathematics, a radical is a root.
In essence, a radical is practicing the fundamental.
Islam is a hate crime against humanity.
I would add to that we should pray for Sisi’s continued good health.
A leader in a Muslim country that says such things has put a target on his back.
The last president in Egypt that made such moves was assassinated during a parade (Anwar Sadat).

There was another Egyptian leader who actually MADE PEACE with Israel — Anwar Sadat.
What happened to him after that? ASSASSINATED !!
By the Muslim Brotherhood.... the group that actually got one of them ELECTED leader of Egypt.
“I doubt that Jindal has read the Koran”
Probably does not have the time, what with all his exorcism journals to keep up with
No matter what version/translation of the koran you chose to read - it means nothing, unless you read the other holy books - the Sunnahs and Hadiths - from them you will understand which parts mean what and why: Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari.
Otherwise, you are simply falling into the trap Islam sets for the unwary Christian or Jew, that they may cross the one-way bridge to Islam.
