Sources cited: New York Times, the Guardian and CNN. Then it must be true...

I did not think Gorka took this stance.

Islam is the enemy and the only means to fight it is for it to be utterly exterminated.

Travis-

Is this Gorkas stance from your understanding?

In a talk he gave at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in May 2016, LtGen McMaster said, “There is a cycle going on where groups like ISIL, who use this irreligious ideology, you know, this perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence, they depend on ignorance and the ability to recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred, then use that hatred to justify violence against innocents.”

Did he say that or not?

Yes. We need to help the good moderate muslims to defeat the bad misunderstanders of Islam.

(Eye roll.)

This is why Flynn was torpedoed.

Gorka understands this war quite well and his position is that this is a war within islam. Gorka quite cleverly understands that there are some muslims who want to reform islam, to modernize it to eliminate the jihadi aspect of it.

These muslims have fought along side our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Gorka believes the war is against the jihadis and their "classical" interpretation of islam.

This effectively means that any muslim who preaches or supports jihad is an enemy. And those moderates who eschew and inform on jihadis are friendlies.

Islam Delenda Est

Deception is a two way street. I doubt anyone in President Trump’s administration is unaware of the danger of that vile gutter pseudo religion, however lip service must be paid.

McMaster did indeed say that and he is DEAD wrong.

That said, I am sure that Trump and Bannon have had long and serious discussions with McMaster about the way they see this war and must be comfortable with the outcome.

I’m not sure on this one. Telling your religious zelot enemy that they are religious frauds does have a psyops perspective to it.

I’d much rather he publicly profess Islam=enemy, however. That’s psyops enough for me.

I thought Gorka took a harder stance on this. Thank you for the clarification. Most appreciated.

What part of that quote would you disagree with? They are irreligious, they have a perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence and they recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred and violence.

Gorka's position is hard, but he is clever enough to know that we don't need to fight with muslims who don't believe in jihad. Some muslims are allies...like Abdullah II of Jordan or Al Sisi in Egypt, both of whom stand against the Muslim Brotherhood.

Gorka knows that eventually all jihadis must die.

“True Islam”

Has an odor similar to the Inclusive LGBTQXYWhatever Ivankashism staining the carpet.

SMH.

Islam is a militaristic FRAUD — neutralize it with the Truth, not more of this neocon religion of peace horseshyte.

Islam, “true” or not, is the catalyst for the ferment in the Middle East and much of the rest of the world.

Islam may be able to reform, much as both the Roman Catholic and Protestant branches of Christianity did centuries ago, and give up its bloodthirsty drive for world conquest and subjugation of the “weaker” people, either as slaves or as infidels marked for extinction. Well, yeah, and pigs might fly and become a diet staple for all Muslim folk, once pigs are declared to be birds.

Islam virtually drove the once wide-spread and thriving religion of Zoroastrianism into exile and near extinction, by force of sword and ruthless pursuit. Only a very few remain today, clustered in a small enclave in India, where they are a protected religious minority, and some other devotees among the Kurds, the Yazidi, and a small sect once in Lebanon, the Druze, both of which seem to trace to a version of Zoroastrianism.

There most certainly exists a tiny fraction among all Muslims who believe violence in the name of jihad is primitive. These few have almost certainly been tainted by Christian ethics. Their disagreement, however, is over tactics, not mission.
Just as the Great Commission of Christ is to bring His salvation to the whole world, the goal of Islam is to rule the entire world, politically, socially, economically, militarily, and religiously. Not one of the pacifists in Islam can reasonably disagree with this imperative.

Islam is a militaristic religiously manufactured fraud.

It is a tyranny over the mind of men.

“I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVER FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN”
—Thomas Jefferson

What part of that do you disagree with?
