This is why we are failing to stop Muslim terrorists. If we can’t identify who the enemy is, how can we fight him? The question is pertinent since this week Obama’s Secretary of Homeland Security insisted that Islam is not the cause of any terrorism in the world today. How can he say that? Because he claims that terrorists aren’t really Muslims. Oh, you heard that right, America.
DHS secretary Jeh Johnson was recently at a security forum where he flat out refused to identify terrorists as Muslims. Then he went even further to claim that anyone who says that terrorists are Muslims are insulting Islam.
Sec Johnson was asked why he and Obama steadfastly refuse to call the terrorists “radical Muslims” or identify terrorists as Islamists.
“I believe strongly – and I hear this over and over again from Muslim leaders in this country – that to refer to ISIL as ‘Islamic extremism’ concedes too much. It dignifies them as occupying some part of the Islamic faith, which is about peace. And so if you call it ‘Islamic anything,’ uh, we are dignifying this terrorist organization with occupying a part of the Islamic faith which Muslims in this country I know, push back very strongly on,” Johnson said. “So If I went into these [Muslim] communities calling it ‘Islamic extremism,’ I’d get nowhere.”
When the host of the event pointed out that most people feel this is just blatant political correctness, Sec. Johnson replied, “I could not disagree more.”
You see, America. Obama and his minions say YOU are the problem for daring to say that terrorism is caused by Islam and by asserting that the literally MILLIONS of Muslims currently committing acts of terror all across the globe are actually Muslims.
