This is what I suspected when all the usual screaming leftists were silent about the appointment and people like Morning Joe were gushing over it. If we don't properly identify the enemy (i.e., islam) we have no chance of winning the war.

So we can use the term Un- Islamic terrorists for the aloha snackbar attackers?

[PTBAA]

If true, this constitutes a huge failure in the vetting process and puts McMaster in direct conflict with the President’s world-view and policies.

[PJBankard]

His opinion on the use of the term “radical Islamic terrorism” is irrelevant.

[Pravious]

Sigh. Guess we know why McCain didn’t bitch about him.

[New Jersey Realist]

I’ll go out on a limb here but I agree with the general. There are decent Muslims - a very, very large majority as a matter of fact that are just as stymied as we are about the radicals among them. The radicals prove that their interest is not in pleasing God.

Here’s an idea. Put out the word for a truce. We’ll stop attacking them if they stop their stupidity. Doubt it will work but at least we’re on record as wanting peace with them and the decent Muslims will realize that we don’t hate them.

I notice Trump sets up good guy vs bad guy environment in everything he does. It is good positioning for negotiation.

[9YearLurker]

I actually think the “radical” is redundant.

[ReaganGeneration2]

"radical orthodox Islamic terrorism"

All fixed now

[Fantasywriter]

You left off the fact that this all stems from an unnamed source as cited by the New York Times. You’ve got lots of people reacting to the Fake News paper of record. You must be so proud.

“President Trump’s newly appointed national security adviser has told his staff”

Fake news alert!

[Jim Noble]

New National Security Advisor doesn't believe in "radical Islamic terrorism"?

Neither do I. There IS no such thing as "radical Islamic terrorism".

There is only Islam.

[Spruce]

McMaster is an officer that fights and wins. Personally, i will give him plenty of leeway. Perhaps he’s trying to not piss off all 1billion+ muslims as he helps dispatch the cavemen to Hades.

[Lorianne]

Wretch.
Is he an expert on Islamic theology?
Is he an expert on Islamic history?

Just go down to your local library are read half a dozen books on the region’s history and Islam’s history and you’ve got a good enough understanding of the situation to know that there has always ALWAYS been a radical element to Islam.

Bad.

islam is our #1 enemy!!!!

muslims get out! muslims stay out!!!! Outlaw the muslim Brotherhood—close CAiR and ALL mB mosques!!!! PHOOEY!!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

He may not believe in “radical Islamic terrorism” but he sure has rubbed out more than his share of radical Islamic terrorists since the first Gulf War. As long as you know who they are, it really doesn’t matter what you call them.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

If McMaster really said this, he is being insubordinate.

His boss was very explicit regarding Radical Islamic Terrorists in his CPAC speech.

Identify and remove the leak source with extreme prejudice and you will have cleared up several problems. I suspect we are going to see a good number of “questionable quotes” attributed to the inner circle before the leaks are plugged.
