President Trump has confirmed that retired Lt. General H.R. McMaster is his new choice to be his National Security Adviser.
Score one from the swamp. A source that has asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals has informed me that he was present in August 2014 when McMaster was the featured speaker for the President's Lecture Series at National Defense University in Washington, D.C. McMaster addressed an assembly of all the students in the colleges of the National Defense, including the National War College, the College of International Security Affairs (CISA), the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy (formerly the Industrial College of the Armed Forces), and the others. There was, therefore, a large crowd, and multiple witnesses.
In his address, McMaster said flatly: "The Islamic State is not Islamic."
Now, this was during the Obama regime, when that was the official policy of the U.S. government, but President Trump has repeatedly criticized his predecessor (and his 2016 election opponent) for not being willing to call the problem of jihad terror by its right name. Since he has become President, he has repeatedly reiterated his determination to eradicate "radical Islamic terrorism." If McMaster genuinely holds the view that the Islamic State is not Islamic, then he is a disastrous pick as National Security Adviser, and will continue the willful ignorance of the Obama administration, hamstringing efforts to understand, and counter effectively, the motives and goals of the enemy.
If McMaster was stating his conviction and not just the party line, this would represent a victory for the compromised Republican establishment that is trying to neutralize Trump and keep the swamp from being drained. Say it ain't so, General McMaster.
BS, ISIS is islamic.
That was the official position of the Obama Administration. Active duty soldiers follow orders.
They got their guy in there.
I hope he didn’t say that.
Sooner or later people need to accept the fact that there is a Worldwide Islamic Movement which carries with it totalitarian and cruel Sharia Law tyranny and they are not your friend. They want to cut you head off.
Enough with deadly political correctness.
Unnamed source, speech monitored by his superiors, out of context fragment, etc. Jihad Watch is a good outfit so this may be important. All we can do is wait and see.
When you are kicking somebody’s @$$ like McMaster did TWICE in Iraq, what religion they are really isn’t on your mind much.
There’s plenty of Council on Foreign Relations and Goldman-Sachs influence in the Trump Administration just like there would be in any likely administration.
It’s not like Trump was likely to rely on Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan.
CFR and GS seem to have a kind of monopoly, although each does have factions that disagree on some things. Leadership does matter.
The fact of the matter is that every branch of the Islamic tree part of a murderous, Anti-Christ, Anti-Christian, political system, not a religion at all.
They all provide an explicit exception for every form of perversion and evil as long as the faithful claim to be fighting for All Ugh when they indulge in the perversions and evil acts.
This video is a must see about Islamicism. Only 14 minutes but right on:

This is discrimination! Everyone but Muslims can self-Identify as whatever they please, black gay bi...but not Muslim!
“A source that has asked to remain anonymous”
yep. yet ANOTHER rumor being posted on FR!
bttt
And also the policy of the Bush administration, that islamic terrorists aren’t Islamic. The problem with this guy is that he wrote a freaking book about how Vietnam era officers weren’t frank enough with their civilian leaders.
So when its his turn, he promptly parrots the islam is a religion of peace BS. Schwartzkopf was the last true general or admiral that wasn’t a pussy.
“Islamic State is not Islamic”
Color me skeptical. Why not provide a full quote and the context in which the quote was made?
Smells like fake news...
That’s a problem because ISIS is practicing Islam exactly as Mohammed did.
Exactly how he instructed in their “holy” book.
‘Like saying islam is not islamic.
Crap! Did Pence make this call?
When I heard that McCain liked him, I was worried....

political system, not a religion at all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a very important distinction that has to be said about Islam, in general, not solely pertaining to ISIS.
I’m not arguing the the Lt. Gen. was making that point, but, it’s a point, nonetheless, worth stating again.
