IA Director John Bennan says ISIS Islamic jihadists aren’t Muslims, they are “psychopathic thugs”
Bare Naked Islam
Call
them psychopathic thugs or murderers, but don’t call the Islamic State
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ‘Muslims.’ CIA Director John Brennan (photo

against ascribing ‘Islamic legitimacy’ to the overseas terrorist group,
saying that allowing them to identify themselves with Islam does a
disservice to Muslims around the world.
Tell that to the leader of ISIS who has a Masters degree and PhD in Islamic studies

“They are terrorists, they’re criminals,” Brennan asserted during the
audience Q&A portion of an interview at the Council on Foreign
Relations. “Most–many–of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who use a
religious concept and masquerade and mask themselves in that religious
construct.”
“Let’s make it very clear that the
people who carry out acts of terrorism – whether it be al-Qaeda or the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – are doing it because they believe
it is consistent with what their view of Islam is,” the intelligence
agency director continued. “It is totally inconsistent with what the
overwhelming majority of Muslims throughout the world.”
Brennan, who gave a speech earlier at
the event on the structural changes facing the CIA, also slammed a
popular conservative talking point about the White House’s reluctance to
describe ISIS as Islamists.
“Quite frankly, I’m amused about the
debate that goes on about, you know, unless you call it by what it is,
you don’t know what you’re fighting,” Brennan said. “I think we have to
be very careful also in the characterization because the words that we
use can have resonance.”
“The notion that the West is at war with Islam is an ugly lie,”
the president said last month at a White House summit on countering
terrorism. “And all of us, regardless of our faith, have a
responsibility to reject it.”
Like the president, Brennan cautioned
against the unilateral lumping of terrorists with a religion that has
over a billion followers worldwide.
I seek truth - inuendos... Mr. CIA Director John Brennan...
ReplyDeleteHow is it that these people use Islamic term. background, the Koran, and all the trapping of the Muslim Faith not Muslim? Because you all say other wise???
Like: “Let’s make it very clear that the people who carry out acts of terrorism – whether it be al-Qaeda or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – are doing it because they believe it is consistent with what their view of Islam is,”
Words like al-Qaeda, and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria; plus say they follow Jihadist principles of Islam... They kill, rape, take and do so in the name of Alah... Then you use " their view of Islam!!"
But we are suppose to believe otherwise?? Are you a fool???
