Administration advisor says Jihad is a “legitimate tenant of Islam”
Obama’s chief counterterrorism advisor proclaims the United States is not at war with terrorism


WASINGTON, DC—John Brennan, the Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security said in a speech to the Center for Strategic and International Studies…

“…The president’s strategy is absolutely clear about the threat we face. Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism is but a tactic. Our enemy is not terror because terror is a state of mind and, as Americans; we refuse to live in fear. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or [sic] one’s community.

And there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children. Indeed, characterizing our adversaries this way would actually be counterproductive. It would play into the false perception that they are religious leaders defending a holy cause when in fact, they are nothing more than murderers, including the murder of thousands upon thousands of Muslims.” 

Clearly, there is a substantial disconnect between the American people and the administration on a number of issues: health care reform, immigration, and fiscal policy. But these issues do not have constituents that strap explosives to their children or themselves and run into a crowded market place or drive an SUV packed with explosives into Times Square. We wish to give Mr. Brennan a small bit of advice, if it walks like a duck—well, you know.
