ISIS is a Footnote: The Real Threat is Sharia and Islamic Supremacism
The version of radical Islam adopted by terror groups is

The battle against radical Islam isn’t an ‘over there’ fight confined
to the wastebin landscape of some forgotten town. It’s a ubiquitous
problem that takes place on American soil in two forms. The first is
through direct jihadi attacks as we most recently saw in Orlando; the second takes the form of political warfare.
Yesterday, the battle of ideas took place on the floor of a Senate hearing spearheaded by Senator Ted Cruz. The “Willful Blindness” hearing, attended by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, Philip Haney, and Andrew McCarthy among others, offered testimony to better understand barriers to combating radical Islam.
Other witnesses included soft-Islamist Farhana Khera, President and Executive Director of Muslim Advocates, who refused to admit that jihad or radicalization had absolutely anything to do with radical Islam. In fact, Senator Cruz’s attempt to engage Khera in dialogue yielded a minimum of 6 instances of denial within five minutes, with Khera defaulting to a regressive left narrative that the conversation is somehow empowering ISIS.
