The U.S. Department of War’s 2026 National Defense Strategy, published on January 23, says:
We will secure America’s borders and maritime approaches, and we will defend our nation’s skies through Golden Dome for America and a renewed focus on countering unmanned aerial threats. We will maintain a robust and modern nuclear deterrent capable of addressing the strategic threats to our country, raise and sustain formidable cyber defenses, and hunt and neutralize Islamic terrorists who have the ability and intent to strike our Homeland.
Good start. But there is so much more that must be done. What about the Islamic terrorists who are already in our “Homeland”? What about the mosques who preach the Qur’anic message of hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity to wage jihad against them? What about the oppression of women that is taught in Sharia, and the spread of that Sharia in the U.S.? What about the attempts to establish Sharia enclaves in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey and elsewhere? It’s refreshing to see the War Department refer to “Islamic terrorists,” rather than unspecified “violent extremists” or “radical Islamist terrorists,” and it’s a step in the right direction, but many more such steps are needed in the face of a threat that continues to advance and knows exactly what its goals are while we dither about even daring to name it.

I understand what Robert is saying, but I agree w/ the Department of War. It’s actually not their job to fight on American soil, including those who are foreign muslim terrorists. That part falls under the DHS and DOJ: it’s those 2 departments that need to take on those jihadists already in our midst. Particularly DOJ, given how jihadists in this country love waging lawfare, and for whom that is more a primary weapons, than IEDs or knives or bombs. What we need to do is call for these 2 departments – in addition to State – to take on the ones already here. DHS and State to work on deporting all the foreign ones, while DOJ takes on the domestic ones
It’s good that Hegseth is leading from the front. Bondi, Noem and Rubio need to join him
LSClarke says
Agree. One of the President’s enumerated powers is to root out terrorism foreign and domestic.

Infidel,
Thanks, once again, for your contribution of clarity of who does what and
where.

Islam is Islam.
Ralph says
All Muslimes are potential terrorists, or at least a force of looming evil in any Western nation they inhabit. The only safe policy is to deport every one of them. No exceptions.
Trico says
“hunt and neutralize Islamic terrorists.” Before New York City becomes London, may I suggest you start with the Jihadi Imran Mamdani, the NYC Muslim Mayor pretending to be a Democrat Socialist.

Small point: his name is Zohran Mamdani–but apart from this I quite agree.
JA says
Another thing that needs to be done is to cut off their access to Jihadi websites!

2026 National Defense Strategy vows to ‘hunt and neutralize Islamic terrorists’
………………………………..
I hope so.
OLD GUY says
Sounds like a plan, we need to protect our homeland both from foreign and domestic terrorism and let’s throw in crime and drugs that are destroying the lives of so many.
