“The refusal to utter or condemn by name radical Islamic terrorism only helps makes the battle against Islamic terrorism impossible to win,” stated Steven Emerson, executive director of the respected Investigative Project on Terrorism. “If you cannot identify the problem, you cannot beat it.”
McMaster’s refusal to “condemn radical Islamic terrorism by name is a threat to our national security,” Emerson posited.
Emerson was responding to a 2014 speech on the Middle East, unearthed yesterday by Breitbart News, in which McMaster claimed that Islamic terrorist organizations are “really un-Islamic” and are “really irreligious organizations” who cloak themselves in the “false legitimacy of Islam.”
McMaster’s comments represent views of Islamic terrorism that are diametrically opposed to those espoused by President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly utilized the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.”
McMaster, who serves in a critical national security position, seems to be minimizing the central religious motivations of radical Islamic terrorist groups who are waging a religious war against Western civilization. Indeed, in his speech, McMaster urged the audience to focus on the “human factors” that he says drive conflict while downplaying any religious motivation.
The comments in the 2014 video are not the only time McMaster has seemingly denied the Islamic motivations of America’s terrorist enemies. In February, CNN cited a source inside a National Security Council meeting quoting McMaster as saying that use of the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” is unhelpful in working with allies to fight terrorism.

and CAIR would cry mightily if HR ever did.
I don’t understand why the President doesn’t tell McMaster, “you’re fired”.
CAIR is one of CFR member McMaster’s biggest supporters.
I am glad to see several people going after McMaster, because I long ago pegged Gen. McMaster as a Muslim sympathizer just like CIA head John Brennan.
The fundamentals of Islam are; subjugate ,convert or kill anyone on earth who is not a Muslim and won't convert to Islam.
Don't take my word for this, read the words of Allah in the Koran and read in the Hadiths how Muhammad, Allah's prophet interpreted Islam. - Tom
ps-The chapters in the Koran are out of order.
You can figure the order out by using the Internet.
Read the earlier Mecca chapters first, and then the Medina chapters last.
If there is a conflict the later chapters supersede the earlier ones.
Just let the President worry about his staff.
McMaster must go, very soon; a Islamiphile pretending to lead our security is beyond dangerous.
this guy is not a conservative. Here is another very very good Breitbart article about who he purged:
EXCLUSIVE–Inside General McMaster’s Purge: How National Security Adviser Eliminated Trump Loyalists
“New details from those familiar with the circumstances of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster’s recent purge at the National Security Council paint a picture of a general who removed staffers over their loyalty or views, not because of their competence.”
Swamp must be vetting his appointees.
he’s a wrecking ball
