Gen. McMaster believes that Radical Islam is "Un-Islamic"

Unfortunately, General H.R. McMaster maintained that Radical Islam was "Un-Islamic" and that jihadists did not truly represent the Islamic faith. How wrong he was in this regard since the Qur'an and Aahdith (sayings of Muhammad) are the source from where jihadists get their orders to strike terror and from where Imams in mosques throughout the world call for the overthrow of Israel, Jewish existence and Western civilization. Here are comments from Gen. McMaster when he was first appointed by President Trump:

"President Trump's newly appointed national security adviser on Thursday reportedly held his first "all hands" staff meeting where he said labels like 'radical Islamic terrorism' are not helpful because he said terrorists are "un-Islamic."'

and;

"We are engaged today, as General George C. Marshall's generation was engaged, against enemies who pose a great threat to all civilized peoples. As our World War II generation defeated Nazi Fascism and Japanese imperialism, and as later generations defeated Communist totalitarianism, we will defeat today's enemies, including terrorist organizations like Daesh, who cynically use a perverted interpretation of religion to incite hatred and justify horrific cruelty against innocents." — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, speech to Virginia Military Institute, Center for Leadership and Excellence, November 21, 2016

McMaster apparently did not read the Pentagon Briefing of 2006: "Suicide bombers follow Quran concludes Pentagon briefing"
(excerpts)
"Tasked with pinpointing motivation, analysts find terrorists 'rational actors' following 'holy book' ...Addressing a youth session at the 1999 Islamic Association for Palestine's annual convention in Chicago, CAIR founder Omar Ahmad praised suicide bombers who "kill themselves for Islam," according to a transcript provided by terror expert Steve Emerson's Investigative Project."

"Fighting for freedom, fighting for Islam, that is not suicide," Ahmad asserted. "They kill themselves for Islam."
