Jihadists aren't the enemy

"...Counter Terrorism Czar John Brennan, who by definition is supposed to be combating terrorism but says our enemy is not terror. He goes on to say that our enemies are not the jihadists either, because that is a legitimate process of religious purification. Good thing we have someone who understands the nature of the threats facing America today, isn't it?" [Glenn Beck 28 May 2010]. Full text:  Jihadists aren't the enemy?

Response to comment [from a Jew]:  "The President’s strategy is absolutely clear about the threat we face..."

Right--Christians and those who defend the Constitution.  We get it.

See:

The Obama administration calls those who are have a "Christian identity" or who consider themselves "Constitution defenders" terrorists (Re 18:20-24).

Joint Terrorism Task Force Guide

Response to comment [from a Muslim]:  "I tend to stay away from anything Glenn Beck says or writes."

Then listen to John Brennan's own words--no sense shooting the messenger.

"The enemy isn't terrorism. Terrorism is the aftermath that continues to replenish itself due to the underlying problem."

Agreed.  Bad roots, bad fruits (Mt 7:16).  Jn 16:2.

"You don't fight terror with terror, you resolve the underlying issues."

Agreed.  Only the living Lord Jesus can change the hearts of others.  You can overcome a hateful god of terror (Ro 8:37).  Our God is:  living, personal, relational, good and loving.

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]  "You can't indict all of Islam..." Link

We know you do not defend and contend for Christianity (2 Cor 10:5, Jude 1:3).  Why do you defend Islam?

Was Mohammad a false prophet?  Is Islam a false teaching? Is the Koran false (1Pe 4:11).

Surprise, surprise, crickets from Kmoney:   

[Will not answer] Why do you defend Islam?  Was Mohammad a false prophet?  Is Islam a false teaching? Is the Koran false (1Pe 4:11).

How 'bout:

Did God create the world? Ge 1:1.
Should unborn children be protected? Ps. 139, Ps.51. 
Is homosexuality an abomination? 1 Kin. 14:24. Did God made us male and female? Mt 19:4.
Do you believe in miracles? Can natural laws can be broken? Was Jesus resurrected from dead? 1Co 15:13,14; Heb 6:1,2.
