Remove politics
Refusing to call Islamic radicalism by name is inserting politics into warfare, asserts Gorka.
"Until politics is taken out of national security, we’re all at risk from the enemy whose name the White House refuses to use," he wrote on his website.
Refusing to recognize radical Islam has also put the fox in the henhouse.
The White House has enlisted the advice of various groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group Gorka says should instead be recognized as the progenitor of twentieth-century jihadism.
"Washington must resist the continuous lobbying and subversive tactics of groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)," because these Muslim Brotherhood affiliates "helped establish ’violent extremism’ as the official label for jihadist terrorism, an act of misdirection meant to weaken our ability to identify and defeat the threat."
