Sadly, I think it more likely that McMasters will be forced out.

I agree. They should just say Islamic terrorism, since it is what their religion demands and there is nothing radical about it.

Unlike Europe where you get put in jail for telling the truth, we still have freedom of speech here for awhile, so I will say that as much as I want. Watch:

Islamic terrorism...

Islamic terrorism...

Islamic terrorism...

Islamic terrorism...

These problems creating the violence, wars, are caused by far more than religious differences, but many people in Islamic countries, primarily in the Middle East, Palestine, see America (and Israel) as part of their problem(s), serious problems, going back to when England and America saw fit to rearrange their world and install leaders who turned out to be their enemies as well. The Shah of Iran, for example. Supporting Iraq's war with Iran for eight years another example of too many...

No point now in pointing fingers. Can't turn back time, but we can at least keep from going backwards, from angering more people than necessary. At least we got our rear ends out of Iraq as part of what I think is the better direction not to further "own" more of this mess in the ME than we already do!
The US has had problems with the Middle East for 200 years. Our Navy had to put the Barbary Pirates in their place then. It's like this country needs to put some real fear into the Muslim world to make them be quiet from time to time.

If the name offends come up with another one that accurately describes what we are facing. But using disclaimers Every. Single. Time a terrorist attack occurs around the world is a waste of time and energy. Fight the actions. We know who they are. Everyone knows who they are. Get on with it.
Islam ain't a race. Too; word is the Christian Arabs seem to do MUCH better in life than their Muslim cousins.

There misunderstandings

Arab Christians
Because the truth is that Christians in the Middle East are not Arabs
Christians in the Middle East
Aramaeans and Assyrians, Chaldeans and Copts and validity
All these are not Arabs
Please reconsider the term Christian Arabs
Islamic terrorism is based on texts from the Koran
It calls on states to fight jihad and they are many
While Christianity does not support terrorism in the texts proclaimed a gospel
And his Gospel known that there was no where any teachings about the war in the Gospel
For this reason, every Muslim is a terrorist production of Koran

I agree with him. So I suspect his tenure will be short.
When the establishment started singing his praise, I knew something was wrong. So now once again we have to hear it from Ayatollah HR McMaster, the renowned Islamic scholar, what is or is not "unIslamic".

Back in the day, it was always communist guerillas, not just guerrillas, so why can't we say Islamic terrorists? Nobody came to the defense of communism and say no, Marx and Lenin never said to kill and assassinate.

The United States emerged as a superpower after World War II

But Islamist terrorism is older than that
That is why the United States is the wars in Iraq in order to protect its strategic interests
The US military has gone, along with 28 army to Iraq through the official invitation from Saudi Arabia
So the United States wanted to help Muslims friends to get rid of Saddam Hussein
Having been to get rid of Saddam Hussein and religious currents in Iraq appeared
They started looking to the United States as countries of infidels
The term is the infidels from Muslim terminology and backed by state of the Koran
So the United States is fighting for its vital interests
While Muslims are fighting the world because they think they're the best and that their religion is the best
Every human Kfar only devout Muslims
After the end of Saddam Hussein, we believe that the world would be a better
And that Iraq would be the best
But because of Islamic thought and teaching of the West from the infidels and infidel America
It enables Islamists and those of the majority of Iraq support the idea of expelling the occupier
After he was an editor
But Israel
The whole Muslim world to fight Israel
Why
Israeli people deserve to live
They also have the right to the land of Palestine
So why does not recognize the Arabs and Muslims in the right of the Israeli people in the home
Muslims and hatred of the Jews is one of the most important teachings of the Koran
So the problem deeper than the Israeli and Palestinian conflict
He was an Islamic and Jewish conflict
America stands with the right of the Jewish people
So why angers Muslims

The difference between Stalin and Muhammad is the honesty
Stalin did not say what came doing inspired by God
He did not say that God sent his orders to fight
He says he was not the last prophet
Stalin had wanted to fight world imperialism
He wants a world of another kind is governed economic relations
It is the socialist standard
So was the conflict between economic ideology
Mohammed and the ideology of Islam is to say it is from God
And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
Anyone who does not believe this shall be fighting against him
This is the difference between Stalin and Hitler and Muhammad
