Does it bother anyone that the State Department says they are not after Islam because there are other Terrorists groups out there. Implying that Islam is not the only source of terrorism. The State Department won’t say Islamic Terrorists because there are other Terrorists.
Barring countries, which the government has always watched, what other groups have been running around killing people. So they could be labled terrorists. I am a little afraid of our government watching “other groups”, possibly the Tea Party.
Is it just my age talking when I look at these different spokesman and think Junior Varsity? We had a class president in high school that would have run rings around Harf. Wish they could have tied her down on who these non-Islamic terrorist are.

You touched a nerve there. Yes, it does bother me. I’m still fuming from watching this last night:
I sent the link out in emails this morning and watched it again - more smoke coming out my ears. I was screaming for Martha to ask her - what other groups? She’s the only one who has asked (that I have seen) and of course, there wasn’t an intelligent reply. Harf said “there are other groups out there.” After watching this video again, I get the feeling that Harf was saying and will no doubt fall back on if it comes back to bite her - that the terror groups all represent something different IN ISLAM..or she wouldn’t have mentioned Boko Haram in her answer.
Sean Hannity let the chance go by on his show later to ask the same question. They all got the same memo and that’s all they know - “there are other extremist groups”.... You could see at the WH press briefing yesterday when Earnest came up with the same dumb reply that not a single reporter asked him “what are they?” They let Ed Henry ask the questions and then sit there as tho’ they aren’t even interested in the subject.
I did hear one guy answer with “Timothy McVeigh” this morning. And of course, the commentator didn’t ask which religion/cause McVeigh was promoting! Poor idiots - have to go back 20 years to come up with a name and even then it doesn’t have anything to do with their argument.
I wonder if Egypt’s president will attend the so-called gathering next month at the behest of the jerk who is supposed to know what he is doing and sadly doesn’t have a clue. How about Bibi? OR will it be a gathering of pro-Islamic leaders; the ones who will meet in TX this weekend to discuss how they can counter islamaphobia in the US. I sure hope there is a crowd to welcome them to TX....
