- "National
Security officials are prohibited from developing a factual
understanding of Islamic threat doctrines, preferring instead
to depend upon 5th column Muslim Brotherhood cultural
advisors." — Richard Higgins, NSC official.
- At the heart of the
problem lies the fantasy that Islam must be very similar to
other religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity, out of
which it was, in fact derived.
- The use of force,
mainly through jihad, is a basic doctrine in the Qur'an, the Prophetic
sayings (ahadith), and in all manuals of Islamic law.
It is on these sources that fighters from Islamic State,
al-Qa'ida, al-Shabaab, and hundreds of other groupings base
their preaching and their actions. To say that such people
have "nothing to do with Islam" could not be more
wrong.

Recently, US National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster
once again downplayed the significance of faith by claiming that
Islamic ideology is "irreligious"; meanwhile, up to 1.5
billion Muslims continue claiming, as they have done for 1400
years, that it is.
As Stephen Coughlin, an expert on Islam, told
Gatestone, "It is the believers who define their religion, not
the non-believers. If someone says his religion is that the moon is
made of green cheese, that has to be your starting point."
On February 20, 2017, President Trump appointed
McMaster, a serving Lieutenant General of the US Army, to the
important position of National Security Advisor, after the forced
resignation of Michael T. Flynn. McMaster came to the post with a
reputation for stability, battlefield experience, and intelligence.
