DHS Secretary to Muslims: what Islamic State is doing “is no part of your religion”
“Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says that in order to keep ISIS from radicalizing Americans inside the United States, it is ‘critical’ not to use the word ‘Islamic’ when describing attacks or other actions tied to the terrorist group.” The fallacy here is that Muslims are looking to non-Muslims to define for them what is […]

“Although he emphasized that Islam was a peaceful religion, Cameron warned it would be an ‘exercise in futility’ to pretend there was no link between Islam and the radical ideas espoused by militants who call themselves Muslims.

“Extremists…have given Islam a bad name, but…have no connection with the religion”
This is the kind of article that the mainstream media churns out by the pound after every jihad attack, and there is nothing striking or unusual about this one — which is precisely why I am posting it.
