Trump's favorite general has master plan to wallop radical Islam
WND ^ | Greg Corombos

Posted on 08/14/2016 4:47:21 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency says the United States must get serious about defeating radical Islam, and he’s laying out a plan to do it – a plan he says is dependent upon GOP nominee Donald Trump winning the White House in November.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn is a frequent cable news contributor, and he spoke on behalf of Trump last month at the Republican National Convention. He is also author of “The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War on Radical Islam and Its Allies.”

In his book, Flynn said it’s long past time for the U.S. to stop “participating” in the war against radical Islam and start winning it. He believes America is just spinning its wheels while ISIS and other enemies pursue an announced, strategic campaign against the West.

“We totally have lacked imagination, and we’ve forgotten how to win, actually,” Flynn told WND and Radio America. “And we have to stop being politically correct about this enemy. We have to clearly define it.”

He said that’s something President Obama and subordinates like Hillary Clinton refuse to do.

“Number one is to clearly define the enemy, and that’s something our current government and current president do not allow us to do,” Flynn said.

But what needs to be done to define radical Islamic enemies that has not already been done?

“We have to discredit this ideology, this radical Islamist ideology, for what it is,” Flynn explained. “We have to call it what it is, and we have to begin to come up with a very imaginative, very creative information campaign to discredit it.”

Islam itself is the problem. Not merely “radical” Islam.

And there you have it. By any reasonable review of their scriptures, Mohamed was a terrorist.

To defeat a large enemy, one must divide it (paraphrased from Sun Tzu).

By defining the problem as "radical" islam, we invite those muslims who are moderate to help us defeat it.

Then, if any moderate muslim decides to become radical, he becomes the enemy.

-—How will he defeat the clinton foundation?-—

It is either him or them.

If he wins, Christie as AG and Rudy as prosecutor will take the clintons down.

Trump has carefully avoided making this certain fact public. RICO might reach into the board rooms of NBC and CNN. There are emails out there to pry open the doors

I agree that the Koran teaches what the radicals preach. The book doesn’t allow for moderates and pacifist islam is a lie. It doesn’t exist in the pages of that book.

Imagine a “religion” where the truest believers “think” that the surest route to “Paradise” is a suicidal attack on innocent people with different creeds.

That so-called “religion” is a pagan “blood-cult”. Nothing more.

So, IMHO, it’s time to tear down that promised route to Paradise. What works?

1. BACON FAT, slathered on the “remains” of these “holy warriors”. And how could a so-called “moderate” Muslim object to that “anointing”? History shows that “Bacon Fat” did help end a Muslim insurrection in the Philippines. Let’s use it again.

2. INGESTION of the “remains” by a sty-full of hungry pigs. Then the “remains” of the superstitious “Holy Warrior” can be returned to his friends and family for his “hero’s burial” in a bag of pig manure. Hmmm.....? What are the odds that 76 virgins would welcome a bag of smelly pig manure to “Paradise”? ZERO. ZIP. NADA.....

“We have to discredit this ideology, this radical Islamist ideology, for what it is,” Flynn explained. “We have to call it what it is, and we have to begin to come up with a very imaginative, very creative information campaign to discredit it.”

Right there he shows he has not a clue how to destroy the thing he’s spouting off about. There is no such thing as “radical Islamist ideology.”

There is only ‘fundamental’ Islam. Islam has always been a violent movement led by the founder who raped, robed, and murdered his way across the known world in the 7th Century. Nothing about Islam has changed since then.

Islam cannot be discredited, except by destroying the very places it holds most dear, where they believe the spirit of allah resides: Median, Mecca and the Kaaba. Short of that, there is nothing but more wool to pull over the ignorant public’s eyes while fleecing them for more money and practicing still more political correctness, which emboldens the very forces they seek to destroy by showing continued weakness. Strength in Islamic eyes is shown by the one who is most willing to kill the most people without compunction, without ridiculous ROEs.

Wrong in my opinion. It is the Koran itself that lays the road-map for the religion’s followers to follow. More and more are following it as more and more are being induced to read it. Just like Alinsky’s tripe, it was aimed at those who were not educated to think for themselves. Nevermind the fact that this all started around 700 A.D. when Christianity was on the rise, but also in the middle of its Dark Ages, causing many who needed the populace to be dependent in order for them to keep their power.

We will be returning to Europe to save them once again. Pray the Generals of WWII are in the ranks of this generation.
