Call them psychopathic thugs or murderers, but don’t call the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ‘Muslims.’ CIA Director John Brennan (photo right), reportedly a convert to Islam himself, at an event Friday warned against ascribing ‘Islamic legitimacy’ to the overseas terrorist group, saying that allowing them to identify themselves with Islam does a disservice to Muslims around the world.
Tell that to the leader of ISIS who has a Masters degree and PhD in Islamic studies
CBS News “They are terrorists, they’re criminals,” Brennan asserted during the audience Q&A portion of an interview at the Council on Foreign Relations. “Most–many–of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who use a religious concept and masquerade and mask themselves in that religious construct.”
“Let’s make it very clear that the people who carry out acts of terrorism – whether it be al-Qaeda or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – are doing it because they believe it is consistent with what their view of Islam is,” the intelligence agency director continued. “It is totally inconsistent with what the overwhelming majority of Muslims throughout the world.”
Brennan, who gave a speech earlier at the event on the structural changes facing the CIA, also slammed a popular conservative talking point about the White House’s reluctance to describe ISIS as Islamists.
“Quite frankly, I’m amused about the debate that goes on about, you know, unless you call it by what it is, you don’t know what you’re fighting,” Brennan said. “I think we have to be very careful also in the characterization because the words that we use can have resonance.”
President Obama has spoken extensively about the administration’s decision to deny ISIS a religious name.
“The notion that the West is at war with Islam is an ugly lie,” the president said last month at a White House summit on countering terrorism. “And all of us, regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it.”
Like the president, Brennan cautioned against the unilateral lumping of terrorists with a religion that has over a billion followers worldwide.
Both sides are beastial terrorists and both sides are Muslim. The Muslim, Brennan knows this, or is he really as dumb as a rock and if so- how did he rise so high? Oh – I know – he was appointed by the Muslim terrorist- Obama.
How the hell did we get a muslim in our WH, leading the CIA (of all things!) and scattered throughout our government! I would say that America is being taken over by muslims from the inside as they are being placed in very strategic positions in powerful positions in our country. Sorry but I don’t trust them because they’ve never given me a reason to!
Oh come on you guys. Must I straighten it out in every post here. Mr Brennan wants to keep his job, because the Sunni symp in Charge changed the gravitas of the press and said no one can call a muslim terrorist a muslim terrorist. As you see words have different meanings and Mr Brennan likes his job. Remember the fort hood shooter is just a disgruntled ex employee.
The real story is that all the libtard presstards go along with the White House dicta,
perhaps they do not want to insult the grand leader, many praises be upon him, Mr Obomba. Who is at this moment Inshalla, hoping there is a race riot in Ferguson, where the blacks will throw off the despicable yoke of slavery, inshalla.
The real story is freedom of speech , and libtard political correctness, just part of whatever that strategy of Muslims to lie to Kuffars is. And you stupid libtard presstards go along with it. The founding fathers would neuter you, because you obviously don’t need them.
If he had any integrity, he would resign.
Great cartoon.
It says “islamic” so how could the jihadists not be muslims?? What are they,scientoligists?? Maybe the “jedi council” members because they wear used nappies as headgear and behead people. but jedi don’t molest kids.
Did John Brennan mention what material and ideas caused them to become psychopathic thugs? Hasn’t he heard of cause and effect? [Oh No! Not the poverty and unemployment problem again.]
He is a Muslim and using Al-taqiya to fool the Ignorant Kuffars
Hello John is a MUSLIM.
brennan is a muslum master of taqiyya. moham, by brennans thinking was not a muslum. Perfect circular evil cult thinking that is normative of the cult of islamic.
they are psychopathic thugs and they are still muslim and a threat to all humanity
Brennan converted to islam years ago, so he would say that–just like his boss, HUSSEIN!
Oh well, half right then.
this administration is new age satanism at core.. a pre- curser… to revelation end times
John Brennan was assigned in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as CIA’s Station Chief in 1996. He was sworn into office as the CIA Director in a secret ceremony that did not include a Bible, instead taking his oath of office on a copy of the Constitution that did not include the Bill of Rights. Did that ceremony include a Qu’ran? We don’t know, but we do know that a Bible was not part of the ceremony.
Brennan has openly praised the “glory of the Hajj”, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which is a mandatory religious duty for all adult Muslims at least once in their lifetime. How would he be able to say this unless he had been there? Non-Muslims cannot enter Mecca; there is a sign on the road pointing the way to Mecca for Muslims, and directions for non-Muslims so that they do not enter Islam’s most holy sight.
So, did John Brennan convert to Islam while he was in Saudi Arabia?
They are muslims and islmists, and as a bonus they are psychopathic thugs as well. During WW2 I seem to remember that all nazis were Germans .
You people just do not understand…When a muslim starts killing someone or raping or torturing/mutilating or even stealing…the same second automatically and by default that person becomes non-muslim…grow up!
Or so they want us to think.
Really. Then I guess the head-chopping, mass-murdering, wife-beating, slave-owning paedofile was not a muslim then?
We’ll grow up when you read the Koran.
A muslim president and a muslim CIA director – just a decade after 911? How is it possible? I’ve truly woken up in the fuckin Twilight Zone.
I know the feeling! Our leaders are actually welcoming our deadly enemy into our countries and have been for decades now!
Pinch me, I must be dreaming and our leaders have gone irretrievably mad!
Sooo, they are psychopathic thugs who just happen to be muslim!…..Brennan is an arselifter!
But someone who is anti-abortion …. is absolutely a right wing Christian ? Brennan has all the Irish/Islamic Anglophobia necessary to get a job with BHO !
“CIA Director John Bennan says ISIS Islamic jihadists aren’t Muslims, they are “psychopathic thugs””
Tell that to Hamas, Fatah, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Jamat Islamia and all the rest of the islamic savages. I’m sure they’ll be glad to show you the true meaning of islam… ASSHOLE!
Jerks, like this, won’t learn until the knife is at their throat.
The knife would never be at BHO or Brennan’s throats, even if ISIS rolled into D.C. tomorrow and our Liberal govt. surrendered the country to them. They’re on the same side.
I fully agree with him Isis are criminals-as was the so called prophet Muhammad, so therefore these people are completely Islamic.
Brennan is quite familiar with taqiyya.
It’s true, the US is not at war with Islam…..but it should be.
“psychopathic thugs”
That’s the text book definition of muslim.
Well it’s not like the CIA people know that NOT calling ISIS true moslems who are working in accord with Islamic teaching directly obtained from source material, will INCREASE the killings and oppression or anything–since ISIS would feel the need to prove itself. I mean it’s not like the CIA wants MORE violence by doing the very thing that taunts and goads ISIS into showing more “proof” of their religious identity. See, the CIA guys don’t have access to ANY intelligence or profile and assessment information on ISIS. So they think they’re helping end the violence and helping to “redefine.” Oh–and the CIA also can’t read the Koran to find the texts and instructions ISIS is using to promote and recruit. /sarc
They really should change their name from CIA to CYA–because that’s all this is.
Since he is a Muslim himself, he’s going to honestly tell us that this is the result of embracing the true teachings of the Quran and the rest of the Muslim filth? Not bloody likely.
as to willfulness; who’s will is he standing in?….it is certainly not Gods will. I would propose he is directly entertaining the will of islam at core… he is a Satanist.
There have always been attacks but the brunt of the Jihad is coming to the US and Europe. If ISIS/BH is actually stopped and wiped out it won’t matter. New groups will take their place. The Quran demands it. The attacks are only going to increase in periodicity and death toll as long as the flood of these savages continues into our countries. Islam has only proven over thing over it’s 1400 years and it’s that it CANNOT coexist with other religions and cultures.
There WILL be another 9-11, either here or in Europe. Too many dedicated Muslims are working on it for it not to happen eventually. And when it does happen that blood will be on the hands of the pro-Islamic BHO administration and others just like it.
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”
BHO.
This guy is mask free and openly anti-Christian?America…
Too bad there’s no spine in Congress.
Outright identifying them as muslim and then subsequently obliterating them utterly and completely would turn the muslim world toward peace, literally over night. That is exactly what an unapologetic West did with the terroristic Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We had four generations of quiet from islam after that.
John Bennan I have a suggestion to make to you..How about you go to Syria or Iraq and tell “Jihadi John” That he is not a muslim..I am sure he would appreciate your opinion, you stupid, ignorant, shit for brains muslim scumbag.
That is the point! muslims are the psychopathic thugs, their book tells them to be.
Yeh you westerners, you caused all this.
All your fault.
You made our kids angry.
What else can they do.
You westerners pushed them over the edge.
It’s all your fault…
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
If its an ugly lie…why are islamists pushing sharia law everywhere?Whether its covertly or overtly…isnt it for the same purpose?
Another dense and thick as two short planks useful idiot of the roll over.
When the President said “The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam”, he did so with a special, almost coded, demeanor. What you are left to think is that this was a message to all Islamic hostile interests, “We shall never use self-defence against you”.
Islamic State has declared war on the West. The West is bombing it, though without accepting that it is a state: it is a “group”, a very powerful group. Obama makes a point of always saying “ISIL”: that enables him not to articulate the word “Islamic”. The pretzel-contortionism needed to maintain that Islamic State is not Islamic is disgraceful and demeaning to the office of President.
Calling it ISIL is also a dis to Israel. It sits in the center of what’s referred to as The Levant.
What “the overwhelming majority of muslims” think, or believe, or follow, may be quite interesting, but Islam is not defined by an “overwhelming majority”: Islam is defined by its source texts.
I.Q. al Rassooli, Arabic-speaking ex-muslim who has studied Islam’s source texts for over three decades, says ninety per cent of muslims have absolutely no idea what the Koran says. There you are: an overwhelming majority.
Actually the truth is the Islamic scholars can come to consensus and it is followed. Please read the following from Randall Terry. Note the last paragraph Sharia Law.
This is what Muhammad demanded by Randall Terry:
For my Masters Degree, I spent hundreds of hours studying Islam and Islamic terrorism. I know of what I speak.
I poured over the words and deeds of Muhammad, the Quran, Shari’a Law, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, Muslim Governments, and various Islamic terrorist groups.
Know this: Shari’a law demands the death of Muslims who leave Islam. Here is a synopsis of Shari’a Law’s framework:
Shari’a Law is based on four things: 1) The Quran; 2) The Sunnah (or Haddith – words and deeds of Muhammad not in the Quran – also called “traditions of the Prophet”); 3) Consensus of Islamic Jurists. (Muhammad said that Allah would not allow Muslims to be in error if their leaders reached a unanimous consensus on a matter.) 4) Legal opinions of jurists & scholars.
This Abomination John Brennan converted to islam and he is a Sunni muslim and muslim brotherhood member and SYMPATHIZER!!
Only JUDAISM and CHRISTIANITY is RIGHT as we have the same GOD who art in HEAVEN!!
Am Yisrael Chai FOREVERMORE!!
Shabbat Shalom Everyone, YSIC \o/
