The Obama White House has now asked us to be sensitive to the sensibilities of those who wish to murder us and to refrain from referring to the jihadist brand of terrorists as… well, as… jihadists.
This happened in the form of White House Counter Terrorism Adviser, John Brennan’s, recent speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In his speech, Brennan called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam” and seemed to suggest we adopt a whole new vocabulary to deal with what we now insensitively call terrorists and jihadists.
I used to make tasteless jokes about the absurdity of political correctness like everyone else. I stopped a while back when it stopped being funny and was just absurd. Under the guidance of Obama it has now become scary. Now, in addition to some mighty good folks that I really do want to be careful not to hurt or offend, we have added wild eyed terrorists that are determined to blow us off the face of the earth or into total submission.
As far as I know, the only major group of terrorists committed to our collective untimely and nasty demise, rely on their religious beliefs as justification for their crimes of hate. They all seem to be Islamists who are pursuing what has become known as “Jihad” against people like me and possibly you. We have commonly referred to them as “Jihadists” and as far as I know those who practice this extreme interpretation of the Muslim faith consider it a badge of honor to be labeled “Jihadist”. I seem to recall that the term Jihad came to my attention via the scriptures of Islam, as well as some excitement years ago about Islamic religious leaders placing a fatwah (I love that term, I wish it didn’t have such a dark meaning. It is kinda fun to say) that somehow seemed to take in all Americans regardless of their character, gender, age, religion or political and/or social media affiliation. I think it a actually includes card carrying American democrats.
Yeah, I know. You think I am exaggerating. Read the following Fox news article if you don’t believe me. Be sure to note the look on Brennan’s face. To me he looks like he is embarrassed but determined to deliver the message prescribed by the boss.
Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as ‘Legitimate Tenet of Islam’

Cyber attack ‘could fell US within 15 minutes’
Written By: Alex Spillius
Richard Clarke claims that America’s lack of preparation for the annexing of its computer system by terrorists could lead to an “electronic Pearl Harbor”.
In his warning, Mr Clarke paints a doomsday scenario in which the problems start with the collapse of one of Pentagon’s computer networks.
Soon internet service providers are in meltdown. Reports come in of large refinery fires and explosions in Philadelphia and Houston. Chemical plants malfunction, releasing lethal clouds of chlorine.
Air traffic controllers report several mid-air collisions, while subway trains crash in New York, Washington and Los Angeles. More than 150 cities are suddenly blacked out. Tens of thousands of Americans die in an attack comparable to a nuclear bomb in its devastation.
Yet it would take no more than 15 minutes and involve not a single terrorist or soldier setting foot in the United States.
The scenario is contained the pages of his book, Cyber War: The Next National Security Threat, written with Robert Knake.
And Mr Clarke has been right before.
As anti-terrorism tsar under Mr Clinton and then Mr Bush, he issued dire warnings of the need for better defences against al-Qaeda, and wrote about his futile campaign in the 2004 book Against All Enemies.
Now he argues that a similar lack of preparation could exact a tragic price.
“The biggest secret about cyber war may be that at the very same time the US prepares for offensive cyber war, it is continuing policies that make it impossible to defend effectively from cyber attack,” says the book.
In part, the US has been hampered by the unforeseeable success of the internet and expansion of computerised networks, which are now used in almost every aspect of industry but have led to a hazardous degree of over-dependence.
The belief in the internet as the freewheeling, free-spirited epitome of American free speech has made government intrusion politically difficult, leaving the private sector particularly vulnerable to well-trained hackers.
Successive administrations, including President Barack Obama’s, have failed to get to grips with the scale of the problem, believe Clarke and Knake, though they have kindred spirits dotted around the establishment.
The military has yet to open its new Cyber Command center, amid disagreements about what role different agencies will play.
Meanwhile America may have invented the internet, but at least 30 nations have created offensive cyber-war capabilities, which aim to plant a variety of viruses and bugs into key utility, military and financial systems of other states.
…
“We need to rethink the premise that just because this took place with bits and bytes it wasn’t a dangerous and destabilizing action,” said Mr Knake, who said they wrote the book “to start a conversation”.
