H.R. McMaster-endorsed book calls jihad peaceful, al-Qaeda terrorism “resistance”

TEL AVIV — A book on terrorism endorsed and touted by H.R. McMaster, the embattled White House National Security Adviser, calls Hamas an “Islamist political group” while failing to categorize the deadly organization as a terrorist group, and refers to al-Qaida attacks and anti-Israel terrorism as “resistance.”

The work frames jihad as largely peaceful “means to struggle or exert effort,” such as waking up early in the morning to recite prayers. It argues that groups like al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations have hijacked the concept of jihad to wage warfare using such tactics as suicide bombings.

The book, reviewed in full by this reporter, was authored by U.S. military officer Youssef H. Aboul-Enein, and is titled Militant Islamist Ideology: Understanding the Global Threat.

McMaster provided a glowing blurb for the book jacket, referring to Aboul-Enein’s book as “an excellent starting point” for understanding terrorist ideology. McMaster wrote in his blurb for the book: “Militant Islamist Ideology deserves a wide readership among all those concerned with the problem of transnational terrorism, their ideology, and our efforts to combat those organizations that pose a serious threat to current and future generations of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.”

More true than you may realize. Senior service schools, such as the Army War College, are front loaded with globalist and social engineering curriculum. If you want to be a General Officer, you gotta drink their koolaid.

I know, that’s what has me worried. Trump instinctively trusts generals. The guys are not Eisenhower or Patton or Bradley.

Yes. I wonder if they attend the same mosque. I do not understand why DJT is keeping McMaster around.
