The Jihadists Call Their Ideology Sharia

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Over the 9/11 anniversary weekend, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and others spoke a lot about the “ideology” that brought us that act of jihad. Curiously, it was not generally named.

The more precise one gets about the ideological impetus behind Islamic terrorism, the more difficult it becomes to draw a distinction between the violent jihadists who seek to impose worldwide what they call Sharia, and those who are pursuing the same goal through other means.

And the more evident is that reality, the more exposed are those – like many of the weekend’s talking heads – who have ignored or empowered the stealthy jihadists of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This anniversary – and this election – are times for holding accountable those whose willful blindness regarding Sharia and the Brotherhood has done much to deny us victory over the global jihad movement fifteen years on.
