\n“Islamic terrorism is just what we call Islam when it\u2019s killing us.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Our only hope of defeating Islamic terrorism is Islam. That\u2019s our whole counter-terrorism strategy.<\/p>\n
But Islamic terrorism is not a separate component of Islam that can be cut off from it. Not only is it not un-Islamic, but it expresses Islamic religious imperatives. Muslim religious leaders have occasionally issued fatwas against terrorism, but terrorism for Muslim clerics, like sex for Bill Clinton, is a matter of definition. The tactics of terrorism, including suicide bombing and the murder of civilians, have been approved by fatwas from many of the same Islamic religious leaders that our establishment deems moderate. And the objective of terrorism, the subjugation of non-Muslims, has been the most fundamental Islamic imperative for the expansionistic religion since the days of Mohammed.<\/p>\n
Our strategy, in Europe and America, under Bush and under Obama, has been to artificially subdivide a Good Islam from a Bad Islam and to declare that Bad Islam is not really Islam. Bad Islam, as Obama claims, \u201chijacked\u201d a peaceful religion. Secretary of State Kerry calls Bad Islam\u2019s followers, \u201capostates\u201d. ISIS speaks for no religion. It has no religion. Which means the Islamic State must be a bunch of atheists.<\/p>\n
Our diplomats and politicians don\u2019t verbally acknowledge the existence of a Bad Islam. Even its name is one of those names that must not be named. There is only Good Islam. Bad Islam doesn\u2019t even exist.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t just domestic spin, which it is, but it\u2019s also an attempt at constructing an Islamic narrative. Our leaders don\u2019t care what we think. They just want us to keep quiet and not offend Muslims. They do care a great deal about what Muslims think. And so, in their own clumsy way, they try to talk like Muslims.<\/p>\n
