If you are a politically-correct bliss-ninny with a coexist bumper sticker slapped on the back of your Subaru, and you don’t have the slightest clue what the following ten words mean, then this essay is not meant for you. You are excused.

dawah, dhimmi, hijra, jizya, kafir, shaheed, shariah, takfir, taqiyya, ummah

But if you are a national security professional, senior military officer or political leader involved in any aspect of the “Global War On Terror,” AKA “Countering Violent Extremism,” these are ten words that should already be a part of your working vocabulary. If you can’t readily discuss their meaning, significance, and relationships, then you are worse than a fool, you are disgrace to your office and a danger to your country.

Actually this should be r2quired for every non Muslim, for ignorance is what allows them to invade and conquer.

Excellent article! BTW, love the term “Bliss-Ninny.” An apt handle for about 47% of the population.

Matt could have made the connection between “Kafir” and the more commonly used word “infidel.”

Also the use of the term “Kafir/infidel” is a weak spot for the Islamists and their apologists, it can be used against them. But then again conservatives never dare to create memes that challenge the moral authority of the Left, it just ain’t respectable.

Excellent article. I wish a campaign insider would send it to Trump.
