Klingon Director: Islamic State Is €˜Psychopathic,' Not Islamic
Identifies the disease, then joins the patient group in categoric denial. Very interesting. The CIA Director assured the audience at the Council on Foreign Relations that ISIS represents an ideology that's "inconsistent" with Islam. A CBS reporter asked Brennan why the administration has been so "reluctant" to identify Islamic extremism as the root ideology of jihadist groups in the Muslim-majority world. "The people who carry out acts of terrorism, whether it be Al Qaeda, [ISIL], are doing it because they believe it is consistent with what their view of Islam is," said the CIA Director. "It is totally inconsistent with what the overwhelming majority of Muslims throughout the world." "By ascribing it as a Muslim terrorism or Islamic extremism -- I think it does really give them the type of Islamic legitimacy that they are so desperately seeking, but which they don't deserve at all," Brennan added. "They are terrorists, they're criminals. Many of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers, who use a religious concept and masquerade, mask themselves, in that religious construct.
