"In that case, do you believe that it is accurate to describe Al-Qaeda's philosophy as a Muslim one?"
and then this....
"Why do you claim to understand the true philosophy of Islam better than the leaders of Boko Hiram and Al-Qaeda? Have you studied the Koran more than they have"
THERE ya go!
If so, that was good advice.
You don’t declare war, even informally, on 1.2B people if you can avoid it.
Even if it’s a transparent political ploy, a legal fiction that Islam itself is not the problem can be useful.
That should not, of course, blind us to the fact that it very largely is the problem and should not impact our actual strategy and tactics.
It appears that many of our political and possibly even military leaders have fully bought into our legal and diplomatic fiction, which is really, really stupid.
You should never start believing your own propaganda.
Actually, I don’t think they believe their nonsense about Islam,
but are actually in support of Islam as an anti-Christian movement.
See? They’re not Muslim.
Later, Obamugabe and his thugs will get to define what “Christian” means, too...and that’ll be anything John Shelby Spong says along with that homosexual Episcopal bishop whose false marriage just ended in false divorce.
These communist traitors in wdc sure seem to believe that everyone else is an idiot. These degenerates in wdc need brought to Justice.
Then call him Muslim trash.
That’s indisputably true of many liberals and leftists.
However, I think their bête noire is wider than Christianity.
They hate and despise all Western Civilization, with of course America, capitalism and Christianity in many ways the most visible symbols of that civilization.
Christianity, of course, is the foundation of Western Civ. But we could all become atheists tomorrow, and these guys would still hate the rest of Western Civ.
‘BH ain’t Muslims’
Comrades, this is glorious news! We must stream from our offices, factories and homes carrying banners praising Comrade Obama and the Inner Parties for their wise leadership and our new, happy lives ...
We’ll never know for sure,
but I would assert that the flipside is the real truth.
They hate Western Civ because it is based on God’s moral Law.
I wonder if they’ll realize what they’ve lost when we’re all gone.
There is an old saying about, “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”
Just the other day it struck me that this could be expanded to explain at least some of the otherwise illogical hatred for Western Civ out there.
“The perfect is the most deadly enemy of the (pretty darn) good.”
Western Civilization objectively (simply using common units of measurement) simultaneously provides much greater personal freedom AND prosperity for more people and for a larger percentage of its people than any other that has ever existed.
Because it isn’t perfect, that some people are still oppressed or in poverty, its opponents insist it must be destroyed and the (prsumably) perfect civilization built on its ruins.
Yet surely any logical person should be able to recognize that when you destroy a pretty darn good civilization, what replaces it is much more likely to be pretty darn crappy than perfect. Or even as good as what you just destroyed.
I guess there is a shortage of logical thinkers around.
Or Obama could not have campaigned successfully on “Hope and Change,” implying that ANY possible change will by definition be an improvement.
It’s the humanist worldview that leads them to believe that they can do better, if only the existing order was destroyed.
These bastards took the girls!
Proving once again that the greater threat to freedom is Progressivism not Islam.
That hashtag will do the trick. The State Department has to stop confusing non-Islamo-fascist Procol Harum with terrorist Boko Harum.
This is evident, of course, in “Whiter Shade of Pale” where procol harum admits to only 16 vestal virgins while boko harum has about 300.

*********
Yeah. They *love* you to pieces.
LOL!
So now our State Dept. is telling muslims whether or not they are muslims?
We are surrounded by IDIOTS!
Of course they are muslim. The Country is predominately muslim. Nothing they do is outside of the teachings of islam.
Stop trying to cover for these animals.............
Correct. That's exactly what it is.
