Addressing an audience at the Islamic Center at NYU, ... 2010, White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan said U.S. government actions and policies had contributed to the problem of negative stereotyping of Muslims. -snip-
... speaking in Arabic..., Brennan used terms .. to appeal to his audience, such as “Al-Quds” for Jerusalem, “Palestine” and “as the Qur’an reveals”... -snip-
“Ignorance is a threat to our national security, prejudice is a threat to our national security, discrimination is a threat to our national security... and it must stop,” he said.
“Violations of the Patriot Act; surveillance that has been excessive; policies perceived as profiling; over-inclusive no-fly lists subjecting law-abiding individuals to unnecessary searches and inconvenience; creating an unhealthy atmosphere around many Muslim charities that made Muslims hesitant to fulfill their sacred obligation of zakat [an Islamic tithe or tax] – these are challenges we face,.. he said.
... Brennan – a Jesuit-educated Catholic – has played a prominent role in the administration’s outreach to Muslims,... He's been a leading proponent ... to stop using terms many Muslims find offensive, such as “jihadist” as a descriptor for terrorists acting in the name of Islam. “They are not jihadists,”... “for jihad is a holy struggle, an effort to purify, for a legitimate purpose....
The administration’s National Security Strategy, released ... after the NYU speech,.. the term “jihadist” did not appear in the 52-page document and the word “Islam” appeared twice – the U.S. was not fighting a war against Islam, it said, ....”
(By contrast the Bush administration’s 2006 NSS stated that “the struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century,” although it also said that Islam “has been twisted and made to serve an evil end.”)
... Brennan said, “Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism is but a tactic. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.”
Newspapers in the Islamic world routinely use the term “jihadist” (or, in South Asia, “jihadi”) in their news reporting on terrorist acts, without suggesting that the term has been misappropriated
“I wonder who the bagman (or bag woman) is that collects the Saudi funds for folks such as Brennan, McCain & Grahamnesty?”
I’m hoping that Huma was a baglady, as we’ve suspected for years. If she was, we may just have the answers on her husband’s laptop.
If there is any real justice John Brennan will be arrested the first month of the Trump administration. There is little doubt that Brennan, an acolyte of Obama, sed his office and the CIA to qustion the legitimacy of Trump’s victory and to prevent him from taking office if possible. Brennan no doubt subcontracted with this British operative Steele to prepare this fake “dossier” to disparage Trump. Ordinarily the CIA would conduct such an operation in such a way that its originators would be untraceable. However this hatchet job was done with such haste and blind hatred that Obama and Brennan did not cover themselves. Dopey Chuck Schumer obviously became aware of the operation probably from an Obama aide, and stupidly said that the CIA has the power to stop Trump. Hopefully a no nonsense person like Steve Bannon makes sure that Brennan pays a steep price for his disloyal actions.
From 2013:
SHOCK CLAIM: OBAMA PICKS MUSLIM FOR CIA CHIEF
Former FBI expert claims John Brennan converted to Islam

I think the operative word there was “Jesuit-educated”, not “Catholic”.
Exactly. There’s more:ctor, traveled in Indonesia where – he recalled in a speech in New York in 2010 –
Brennan’s Feb. 13, 2010 ... facilitated by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), provided an insight into his views on Islam, a faith which he said during the speech had “helped to shape my own world view.”
“a faith of peace and tolerance and great diversity.”
In the speech, during which he drew applause after speaking in Arabic for more than a minute, .. and “as the Qur’an reveals” – in keeping with the Muslim belief that the Qur’an was “revealed” directly by Allah to Mohammed through the angel Jibril (Gabriel).
“And there is nothing, absolutely nothing holy or pure or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children.”
“Ignorance is a threat to our national security, prejudice is a threat to our national security, discrimination is a threat to our national security... and it must stop,” he said.
He then added “as soon as the United States is governed under Sharia Law, and the majority of our population converts to Islam, 95% of the threats to our national security will no longer exist”.
Hil/Humma/Hussein?
Good question. Or it’s just overseas bank accounts in Dubai.
FReepers are well aware of that. Hopefully DJT will realize that after he has his own intelligence team in place.
If we had a CIA director running around quoting the Bible or other Christian texts as part of official speeches or to justify policy positions, the Left would have a meltdown.
>Brennan said, “Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism is but a tactic. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.”
What an ignorant anus he is. Yeah, islam purifies their sick beliefs by killing those that don’t follow it. Eliminate all islam males and it might have a chance if rewritten completely.
islam is a lie to make horny males happy. period.
Hopefully there will be a peaceful transfer of power at the CIA.
It was clear he was in the Terrorist in Chief’s inner circle when the Passport office was broken into.
“Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.”
Seriously, if I were President and a political appointee said that, I would interrupt him and fire him on the spot.
Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children.”

To a muslim, only muslims can be considered innocent.
Kafir are not innocent and according to the Koran are to be enslaved or killed by muslims if they do not submit to Islam.
But you’re not an enemy infiltrator usurper.
Does anyone have actual proof what religion this guy is?
The comments below the article were great:
Brennan our CIA director has in the last 4 years turned a blind eye to radical Islamic terror attacks and so has his boss Obama.
He thinks Islam is a peaceful religion when they call for the death of all Christians and behead, shoot, burn alive, those who do not agree with them?
What does Brennan say about drawing a picture of Muhammad? Is he ok with the death penalty for that? Did those peaceful people with that beautiful ‘religion’ teach him how to make a bomb vest or an IED
The enemy of America Muslime in Chief, nominates another enemy of America for director of the CIA. What’s news about that?
Who do you believe John Brennan’s definition of Jihad or Al-Azhar University in Egypt? According to ‘Reliance of the Traveler’(pg599), Al-Azhar’s manual on Islamic law, “jihad means to war against non-Muslims....”.
Both Obama and Brennan have some thing in common, = traitors... put in a person to direct the CIA, who is endorsed by the ISNA, a front group for the MB, not to protect us but to assist in the pandering to BHO.
“Jesuit educated Catholic” - that says it all - and I’m Catholic so I can say this without being bigoted...
Look at Brigitte Gabriel’s site Act For America (actforamerica.org). The Islamic world has a plan to overtake this country and they are well on their way to accomplishing that. Don’t trust them or anyone who tries to tell you how kind and gentle they are....they won’t be happy until they “see the blood of the infidels (any non-Muslims) running down the streets”.
Islam - the made up religion of a fanatic tribal chief - advocates violence; has little to no tolerance for other religions;; advocates death to those who wish to leave the cult; abuses women, homos, disabled persons and anyone not in line with its stated agenda to rule the world.
Another closet moooslum in our gov’t, great. Will only be a matter of years before we are all forced to go to the smelly rug store...
Don’t Tread on Me!
As has been discussed on another thread or three, Fidel Castro was also “Jesuit-educated.” If memory serves, Castro brought up his religious educational background once in conversation with Ambassador Vernon Walters, who proceeded to point out that he himself had remained faithful whereas Fidel (inaptly named in this instance) had not. I can’t source the story but recall it from having followed the news in the early 80s.
