Head buried in Sand!

"Jihad means purify oneself and wage holy struggle for moral goal"! Where does he get this? Certainly not in Koran! I think all persons in Government Service and public life in the West must take basic lessons in Islam - Koran and the Sunnah. Otherwise, this kind of innanities will continue to be mouthed. With such people of Ostrich mentality at the helm of Home Land Security of USA, one cannot be very satisfied or complacent about USA's internal security. If the philosophy underlying the security policy is wrong, the resultant policy would also be wholly off the mark. One cannot make bread out of mud. It is another matter, if this Security Assistant is talking politically correct things for public consumption but the US government is following the correct policy of treating Islam as the element intrinsically connected with the problem of terrorism.
