McMaster: Exemplar of Ignorance or Accursed Liar?

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Bare Naked Islam who included the video in a new post.
General McMaster's military education preceded the censorship movement, so he should have had some exposure to the truth about Islam. he both studied and taught at the war college.

    On Veterans Day 2014, Gen. McMaster spoke to ROTC members at Georgetown University. I have excerpted two important parts of that speech.  I have inserted superscripts and linked them to my commentary below the horizontal line.

The stakes are high because we are engaged today, as previous generations were engaged, against enemies that pose a great threat⁰ to all civilized peoples. As previous generations defeated Nazi facism, Japanese imperialism, and communist totalitarianism and oppression, we will defeat these enemies who cynically use a perverted interpretation¹ of religion to incite hatred and violence.

Enemy organizations² like Al Qaeda and ISIL seek to perpetuate ignorance³, foment hatred⁴, and use that hatred as justification for the murder of innocents⁵. They entice masses of undereducated⁶, disaffected⁷ young men with a sophisticated campaign of propaganda, disinformation, and brainwashing⁸.

Last week I started to write about this subject but did not finish; I am including that stub here.

“We are engaged today, as General George C. Marshall’s generation was engaged, against enemies who pose a great threat to all civilized peoples. As our World War II generation defeated Nazi Fascism and Japanese imperialism, and as later generations defeated Communist totalitarianism, we will defeat today’s enemies, including terrorist organizations like Daesh², who cynically use a perverted interpretation¹ of religion to incite hatred and justify horrific cruelty against innocents.” — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, speech to Virginia Military Institute, Center for Leadership and Excellence, November 21, 2016

In this video also, from May 2016, McMaster says this same thing. At 14:43, McMaster refers to “groups like ISIL, who use this irreligious ideology⁹, this perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence. They depend on ignorance, and the ability to recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred, and then use that hatred to justify violence against innocents.”

    I am not able to draw a conclusion at this pont. It may be that after eight years of kissing 'crat ass the General has become habituated to spewing the party line.

great threat

    Who are those enemies and what is the threat? It's Islam, Stupid!  Every Muslim on the face of the earth is commanded by Allah to participate in Jihad, by the hand, tongue, pen, purse or heart. Those who meet Allah without scars of Jihad meet him with a mark of hypocrisy which makes them liable to the fire.

    The threat is existential: "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' saves his wealth and his life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment justly, and his account will be with Allah!".  
That threat is from page 237 of the ninth volume of Sahih Bukhri, the most authentic of the hadith collections. Your life and wealth are forfeit to Muslims until you become one!  

    At present, Muslims can not defeat us in conventional warfare but Pakistan has nukes and Iran is working on them. When they mate ICBMs and nukes, the game will change in their favor.  In the mean time, they wear us down with the death of a thousand cuts.

    Moe dictated and dispatched extortion letters. The most explicit of them was sent to the rulers of Ayala, a port city in Jordan. Reasonable men of good will will read that letter and curse Islam, demanding its extinction.

Volume 1, Parts II.73.3
They said: The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, wrote to Yuhannah Ibn
Rubbàh and (other) chiefs of the people of Aylah: You are safe. I praise Allah before
you; there is no God but He. I will not fight against you unless I write to you (in
advance). So, join the fold of Islam or [P. 29] pay the jizyah. Obey Allah and His
Apostle and the messengers of His Apostle, honour them and dress them in nice
clothes, other than the uniform of the ghazis. Provide Zayd with good clothes. If my
messengers will be pleased with you, I shall also be pleased with you. The jizyah is a
known thing. If you like that, peace might prevail over the land and sea; you should
obey Allah and His Apostle. You will not be required to pay dues you have been
paying to the Arabs and the 'Ajamis, and you will pay the dues to Allah and His
Apostle. If you send them (my messengers) back and do not please them, I shall not
accept anything from you, and shall wage war against you and make your young
ones captive and shall stay your elders. Verily, I am the Apostle of Allah to
communicate the truth. I believe in Allah, His Books and His Apostles. I believe in
Masih Ibn Maryam (Messiah son of Mary) who is His word, to be His Apostle. Come
to me before you face the evil. I have given advice to my messengers about your
affairs. Pay three wasag (Wasaq is a camel-loadequal to sixty sa`s, each sa` being
equal to four mudds, and each mudd is equal to 1-1/3 lbs., thus a wasaq is equal to
nearly four maunds of Pakistan.) of barley to Harmalah. Verily, Harmalah has
recommended your case. Had there been no Allah and this (recommendation) I
would not have had any correspondence with you and you would have seen armies
marching against you. If you obey my messenger, verily, Allah is your defender and
(also) Muhammad and those who follow him. Verily, my messengers are Shurahbil,
Ubayyi, Harmalah and Hurayth lbn Zayd al-Tá'i. If they conclude a treaty, I shall
approve of it and you will be under the guarantee of Allah and Allah's Apostle
Muhammad. Salàm to you. If you obey, you should arrange provisions for the people
of Maqna to go to their land. 

perverted interpretation

    Only one man was authorized to interpret the Qur'an:  the one who first recited it. Moe's interpretation is called his sunnah and consists of the hadith and sira. The terrorists act in obedience to Allah, emulating Moe. Terrorism is normative Islam, neither perversion, distortion nor hijacking. Get a clue!!!

Enemy organizations

     It's Islam, Stupid!  All the rest: the alphabet soup of terror groups are appendent bodies built around power hungry individuals each of whom thinks he should be the caliph. All of them consist of believing Muslims, none of them would exist without  Believing Muslims.

ignorance

    Islam is only interested in its canonical  texts and warfare. With the exception of the technology needed for Jihad, modern education is not of value to Islam.

    Participation in Jihad is a function of belief, not ignorance. Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and Usama bin Ladin were Western trained engineers. Al-Zawahiri is a doctor. Many medical, law and engineering students have gone splodydope.

hatred

    Muslims are required to love what Allah loves and hate what he hates. The doctrine is Wala wal Bara. Allah hates disbelievers, so Muslims must hate us, too.  The Qur'an  demonizes  and curses  Jews & Christians.

innocents

    Only Muslims are innocent, all others are rebels against Allah, deserving the death penalty.  I disrespectfully direct doubters, deniers & dissenters to :

• 5.32
• 5.33
• Tafsir Ibn Kathir

to get a clue.

undereducated

    Terrorism is a function of belief, not education. They believe that if they get martyred, they go directly to Jannah to sport with two houris who grow new hymens.  They believe that, if they do not fight, they will wind up in the fire. Those are powerful  motivations to those who believe.

disaffected

    Jihad is doctrine driven, not grievance driven. Those who are mentally and or emotionally impaired may be easier to recruit, but plenty of apparently normal young Muslims have joined the jihad.

brainwashing

    It's Islam, Stupid!  Remove brain, insert Koran. Islam inculcates hatred and incites violence.  The obligation to fight is emphasized, as are the relative costs/benefits of fighting or shirking.

irreligious ideology

    Ignorant fools consider Islam to be a religion, passive, anodyne and an equally valid pathway to God. It is none of those things! Islam is an Arab Mafia created for Moe's personal emolument through the accrual of spoils of war.  I disrespectfully direct deniers, doubters & dissenters to:
