Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says that in order to keep ISIS from radicalizing Americans inside the United States, it is "critical” not to use the word “Islamic” when describing attacks or other actions tied to the terrorist group.

“[ISIS] would like to be referred to as ‘Islamic extremism’ because it therefore concedes that what they are saying and what they are doing occupies legitimately some form of Islam,” Johnson said today at a national security forum in Aspen, Colorado.

“The Muslims I know and that I’ve spent a lot of time with in this country believe just the opposite,” he added.

He is right it is not islamic extremist. it is just islamic followers.

Bill Shut. The Muslims who have converted to Christianity say just the opposite. Playing “nice” with ISIS or any Muslim will NOT keep them from lopping off your head. The Koran orders it, therefore it will be done.

What "Muslims"? Who, where, in what state or town? I don't see any "Muslims" going Donald Trump on ISIS or any other islamokazi gang. Jeh Jeh is full of it.

Momhamad travels to the Middle East and comes back.

My grandma goes to Ohio and they put her on the “watch list.”

WTF is up with the DHS? These Bozos could not find a chain saw in some carry on luggage.

Defund the DHS now!

He knows a lot of muslims and they are all in the Obama administration.

That gives me an idea for a goof on some future trip. "What's in here, sir?" "It's my chain saw."

[beethovenfan]

WRONG!! ISIS is the embodiment of what MoHamHead preached.

Nothing personal Jeh, but I think I see your problem.

[artichokegrower]

This administration never had a problem with labeling people right wing Christian fundamentalists.

[xrmusn]

I am not as intelligent(cough, roll eyes) as these Political Hacks (Remember one of BO’s strict rules is HE has to be the smartest person in the room) BUT using his reasoning shouldn’t we just call the Stars and Bars just a ‘flag from the 1800s’ and start referring to the Klan as a bunch of disgruntled citizens and not call them racists as it may ‘upset’ them?

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Oh yeah, that's a given - but as for me I haven't personally seen or heard any islamos jumping up & down denouncing crap. The sound of the silence is deafening.

Maybe we could cut out on ISIS recruiting in the US by not importing 100,000 people a year who hate us, hate our culture and hate our freedoms.

[freeangel]

He IS an islamist

[TigersEye]

They’re the “disgruntled unemployed.” If only we could give them jobs.

[Steve Van Doorn]

What is the motive of the Islamic State if it's not to promote Muhammadanism?

Crickets Chirping

If there is no motive there is no crime. If there is no crime why do we even talk about it? Because apparently knives are slitting peoples throats and we have no idea why.

It reminds me of the gods must be crazy and the interesting philological phenomena

Islam is a theocracy.
Islam, therefore, is more than a religion, more than a culture, more than a way of life, it is a governing system.
Islam explicitly rejects toleration of competing religious, political, and cultural views.
Islam explicitly rejects the legitimacy of other religious, political, and cultural systems.
Islam explicitly aims to incorporate every mortal on earth into its political, cultural and religious system.
Islam explicitly endorses "jihad" as a legitimate method of extending its system.
Jihad explicitly embraces violence as a method of propagating the Muslim system.
There are 1.6 billion Muslims on earth.
A substantial minority of Muslims explicitly endorse terrorism as a legitimate tool of jihad.
Terrorism employs violence, including murder, to achieve political aims.
Terrorism's tactic is to incrementally intensify murderous violence to instill fear, to demoralize and to ultimately cause the polity to surrender.
Terrorism's strategy is to force representative democracies to either resort to repressive countermeasures or surrender.
Ultimately, a representative democracy which accepts a critical mass of Muslims into its midst will be forced to choose between surrender or tyranny.
Ultimately, a non-Muslim system which accepts Muslim immigrants will be so beleaguered by terrorism that it will be forced to choose between surrender and gulags.
It is more democratic and less tyrannical for a democracy to halt Muslim immigration than it is to defend against Muslim terrorism by increasingly repressive methods.
