Department of Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson says that the Islamic State wants to be viewed as Islamic, but they aren't.
(video at link)
During an interview at the Aspen Security Forum, the interviewer asks if Johnson and DHS are missing the religious dimension of the terrorism we face by denying that it's inspired by Islam. "I couldn't disagree more," Johnson says.
Disagree with what?
Even if you buy Johnson's intellectually feeble claim that the Koran-quoting, Allah-praising, Halal-keeping members of Islamic State have "no connection to Islam," they certainly believe they do. Denying a connection between al Qaeda and Islam would be like denying any connection between the Christian Identity movement and Christianity. The typical Christian understands that, which is why they don’t object.
Even more disturbing (and once again, watch the video for yourself), Johnson says he can't call Islamic terror "Islamic terror" out of deference to American Muslims because they won't cooperate with homeland security efforts if he does. So the head of DHS believes American Muslims will stand by and watch their fellow Americans die in bomb blasts over a vocabulary dispute?
That may be the most insulting thing you’ll ever hear anyone say about Islam in America.
If I met someone at a cocktail party and they expressed such a juvenile, naive opinion, I'd roll my eyes and wander back to the bar for another Bushmills. But to hear it from the guy whose job is to protecting my family from terrorists? That's too important to be ignored.
American socialists used to argue with me what the USSR stood for and that they were not socialist
Schizophrenic Amish. I get it.
I will call it what I know it is, and I will not listen to anything the lying government of America says about this or anything else.
I can’t tell if he says this because he will be found dead if he doesn’t, or if he believes the words he says.
Blow it out of your ear JEH! ...you arrogant mooselim inicompoop
In the same way that Dylan Roof’s action have nothing to do with Southern Conservatism?
Yep can’t bash all Muslims right DHS, but you have NO problem calling Republicans “Right Wing Extremists” that they have no problem saying, just rolls off the tongue
If they were Catholic, would they have done this? or Mormon? No, but Violence is the way of Islam. Islam is Islamic Terrorism.
How did so many fools get into the highest levels of government? Yes, I know.....fools voted for a fool that appointed them all.
“Nothing done in the name of Islam has anything to do with Islam” -World Wide Liberals
To purport to speak for Islam, and to contradict those who claim to be Islamic and have studied the Koran, wouldn’t you (at the very least) have to be Islamic yourself?

Jeh's afraid of Tea Party members - Tea Partiers who to this date have NOT killed one person... Jeh's an embarrassment...
Where did the DHS chief get such a stupid idea?
Question: How many Leftists does it take to screw in a light-bulb?
Leftist Answer: What light-bulb?
Evade, confuse, create chaos, lie, accuse, avoid...
No wonder we’re the terrorists to them.
No terrorism done in the name of Islam or Mohammed is recognized as an Islamic act.
And the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic wants to be viewed as Socialist, but they aren't.
And the National Socialist Workers' Party wants to be viewed as Socialist, but they aren't.
On the other hand; the Democratic Party wants to be viewed as Democratic. In this case; they actually aren't. They are the Socialists that the USSR and NAZi's wanted to be.
Except for the fact that Roof's action has nothing to do with conservatism and has all the ear-marks of a deranged liberal in training.
