The president's top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies.

He repeated the administration argument that the enemy is not "terrorism," because terrorism is a "tactic," and not terror, because terror is a "state of mind" -- though Brennan's title, deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security, includes the word "terrorism" in it

Good. If it’s legit, it’s legit also for us to blow them back to the 6th century.

Oh, forgot, they’re already there.

Legitimate of course means lawful.

So because he is talking about Islam he is talking about jihad being a lawful tenet of Islam.

So of course jihad is a lawful tenet of Islam because Islam delineates that jihad be waged upon the those outside of the Umah (those who have submitted to Islam).

So while he is correct that jihad is a "legitimate tenet of Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies is foolish because it obviously correctly describes the Muslims who are waging war upon us. They themselves use the term to describe themselves.

Here he is walking out of a meeting with the Washington Times regarding an editorial.

Not only is he insane he is arrogant too.

Islam would not be Islam if it didn’t have ‘jihad’ (struggle) as a part of its belief system. The same can be said of Leftism and “class struggle.”

Any good Muslim is down for the jihad either in an active or more passive sense.
