President Trump's new National Security Advisor doesn't believe it is "helpful" to say the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism."
President Trumps newly appointed national security adviser has told his staff that Muslims who commit terrorist acts are perverting their religion, rejecting a key ideological view of other senior Trump advisers and signaling a potentially more moderate approach to the Islamic world.
The adviser, Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, told the staff of the National Security Council on Thursday, in his first all hands staff meeting, that the label radical Islamic terrorism was not helpful because terrorists are un-Islamic, according to people who were in the meeting.

Score one for 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 Presidents 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.

But your chief national security advisor?
Starting off with the premise he proposes, just how much advice built atop that should carry weight?
God bless, President Trump—we are very fortunate he is where he is and I am very appreciative of the good fight he is putting up.
But I hope he gets his staffing straightened out soon.

Actually, given all the sordid commands put forth in the Koran, these people can be considered not only not un-Islamic, not only not radical Islamic, but fully devoutly Islamic. Gen. McMaster had better get his head screwed on straight.
Perhaps he should start his term by reading this:
