Terrorism expert Steve Emmerson sez McMaster won't use the term 'radical Islam.'
2017-08-16
BLUF:
[Breitbart] Stated Emerson - "Nearly the entire liberal/left wing media spectrum have been continuously condemning President Trump for not condemning by name the ultra-white nationalist groups who came out for battle on Saturday in Charlottesville instead of condemning the generalized categories of "hate and bigotry." In fact, we also criticized that hesitation to name the neo-Nazi coalition, but at least the President condemned them by name on Monday."

"But by the scurrilous standards of McMaster and the 8 years of the Obama Administration, a generalized statement against "violent extremism" should have been enough for the events on Saturday. But of course, that meaningless euphemism invoked by Obama, to the murderous applause of a compliant media, meant absolutely nothing. And in fact, only emboldened the quest for power by radical Islamic front groups over truly moderate Islamic reform groups and leaders. That McMaster is pursuing the same refusal to condemn radical Islamic terrorism by name is a threat to our national security."

#4  I'm not sure 'radical islam" is a very good term.

The moslem brotherhood is a major threat, they aren't really radical; CAIR is a threat, they aren't 'radical'.

Then again, the Ahmadi moslems are radical in the sense that they accept a post Mohammad prophet and they are non violent (although maybe a bit obnoxious in pretending that all Islam is non violent)

#3  I'm not so concerned with what they call it as what they do about it.

Not exactly a wild-eyed theory any longer, is it?
