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.”

It may be interesting to see what happens between Kelly and McMaster. Anyone got a clue?

Further creating a wedge between Trump and those who elected him. Such a waste.

McMaster appears to be Mc McDorkster.
A la Dorkbama, the quota boy Muslim eunuch.
Oh, forgot who selected this loser.
Trump has to get rid of anyone selected by the dork.
Remember, the dork selects who are dumber than he.
And he defines dumb.
Quota. Hello!

If anyone should have been fired, it’s McMaster.

Extremely troubling. This was NOT the McMaster I knew who blew up about 20 Moslem tanks in an hour without a thought.

McMaster HAS to go. He’s either a closet Muslim or a complete idiot.

McMaster’s endorsement basically says read the book to know thy enemy. He’s not saying he agrees with their ideology. People will say anything to drive wedges into this administration.

Yes, endorsement to read the book to ‘know your enemy.’ That is something that McMaster knows is essential, even if some posters here considers the endorsement as meaning ‘McMaster is a secret Islamist.”

When McMaster was in the field if he heard any of his troops disparage the muzzles he would chastise them. So what if they blew the hell out of one thier fellow soldiers that morning, don’t say anything bad about them.
McMaster won the White House battle and it sucks so now the worst them is running the place. The Trump we thought we elected has left the building.

You are not going to know your enemy from that book.

McMaster is an idiot.

Eventually I hope Trump grows into the job. I think he will. And in spite of major disappointments - mostly in nominations and appointments - I still think he is doing better the even Reagan.

McMaster has consistently held that Islam is good, quit talking about Islam as bad or the enemy. He is purging anyone in White House who disagrees.

Fire him! Donald!

So we were wrong 75 years ago calling them dirty Japs and dirty Krauts, etc?

That’s not good. I thought Kelly was carrying out Trump’s immigration agenda. Does he share McMaster’s pro Islam stance?
