In a talk he gave at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in May 2016, LtGen McMaster said, “There is a cycle going on where groups like ISIL, who use this irreligious ideology, you know, this perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence, they depend on ignorance and the ability to recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred, then use that hatred to justify violence against innocents.”

Did he say that or not?

McMaster did indeed say that and he is DEAD wrong.

That said, I am sure that Trump and Bannon have had long and serious discussions with McMaster about the way they see this war and must be comfortable with the outcome.

What part of that quote would you disagree with? They are irreligious, they have a perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence and they recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred and violence.
