Our Counterror head BRENNAN:Jihad is 'Legitimate Tenet of Islam'

Nothing could more perfectly describe the visceral and 'every hair on the body standing on end' reaction of so many in the USA to Mr. Obama than these people around him who reflect his dangerous, naive, social idiocy combined with lack of respect for the Constitutional ways and limits.

John Brennan is the man who was PERSONALLY responsible for halting efforts AT TRIGGER POINT to kill Bin Laden in 1996 under Clinton (Michael Scheurer) , established new heights of impossible moral inversion by claiming he was doing a good job because recidivism rates among those trying to blow up anything with a lot of people in America were about the same as teenage car thieves in Secaucus. He now set a new mark with such a completely stratospheric demonstration of hyperbolicly suicidal logic, that words fails ..

FOXNEWS:The president's top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies.

During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of "political, economic and social forces," but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in "religious terms."

He repeated the administration argument that the enemy is not "terrorism," because terrorism is a "tactic," and not terror, because terror is a "state of mind" -- though Brennan's title, deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security, includes the word "terrorism" in it. But then Brennan said that the word "jihad" should not be applied either.

"Nor do we describe our enemy as 'jihadists' or 'Islamists' because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one's community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children," Brennan said.

And missed among these items is the almost EMBARRASSED admission by Sec Def gates that among our national security issues, moved near the top is CLIMATE CHANGE.
Our defense dept has bought into the idea that climate change must be addressed in the same way as Islamism, China, Cyber warfare, and Kim?

Brennan is right; Jihad is a legitimate tenet of Islam.

However, clearly, he doesn't understand another legitimate tenet of Islam, Taqiyya.

It IS a tenet of Islam all right.

When was it used legitimately?

Banu Quryash?
Persia?
India?
Maghreb?
Spain?
France?
Palestine?
Constantinople?

The idea of jihad is cover for absolute political power.

That's why Islam cannot be anything other than imperial.
