The evil that has swept throughout this government is astounding.

He’s 100% right. It’s not an extreme element of Islam.

It’s Islam.

Okay, how about simply calling it Islam? Islam = terrorism, so it is simple to omit “extremism” since it is in the very nature of the Islamic cult.

How about callng them devoted followers of the mass-murdering, thieving, raping, torturing, mass kidnapping, slave-trading, lying, truce-breaking, pedophile polygamous pirate Mohammed.

We can’t have Koran-mandated, Islamic/Muslim terrorism defaming the great name of Islam, the Koran, Allah, or Mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him!) by calling it “Islamic/Muslim terrorism.”

This would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

He’s right. It’s standard, every day, by-th-queeran, ordinary mohammedanism.

Consequences need to accrue to those within Islam who acquiesce to the violence perpetrated in the name of the religion. This cannot happen while those like Jeh Johnson give them a pass.

If they were doing so, then we would hear of jihadis within their midst being turned in by other Islamists. We would see a mobilization of efforts to bring them to heel. We are not hearing or seeing anything of the sort.

Islam has been acting out as ....uhm....Islam for 1400 years.

What’s changed?

Correct because what ISIS truly is , is just Islam........... There is nothing extreme about muslims doing what ISIS is doing. Simply following the dictates of their religion......

That statement by Johnson looks to be tailor made for Donald Trump to use to point out the clueless, feckless inanity of Obunga, Joe Bidet, and the entire cabinet.

The US government has been infiltrated, at the top, by elements that favor islam. Once you accept this fact, all things become clear.

There is no other explanation for current US foreign policy.

What religion and god do all ISIS members worship, Jeh?

Answer: Allah (Islam)

I'd say ISIS engages in "extreme" terrorism:

——What’s changed?——

the evolution of Islam in large population centers has watered it down.

the islam of jakarta, or Riyadh or Islamabad is not the same as in the smaller towns. The Islam of desert tent dwellers depicted in Lawrence of Arabia is not the same as that today in modern Cairo or Abu Dhabi

The whole Al Qaeda, Taliban, Isil thing is revolt against the evolution that has diluted the purity of thought and conviction.

The radicals number in the hundreds of thousands while the mainstream measures in hundreds of millions
