Retired Admiral James Lyons spoke at a Summit on identifying the threat of Islam. The entire segment is a MUST SEE… but notable transcript statements as follows:
“You know, we all say we have to identify the threat. Well, I think the one who identified it the best was Erdogan from Turkey when he said:
‘Islam is Islam! There are no modifiers! Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.’
He couldn’t have said it any plainer. And until you recognize that Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion, you’re never gonna come to grips with it. […] The Obama Administration has a strategy. It’s very simple. anti-American, anti-Western, it’s pro-Islamic, it’s pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood!”
Hat Tip RightScoop who adds the following:
Retired Admiral James “Ace” Lyons gave a remarkably brief but powerful summation of the threat we face from radical Islam and how we’ve failed to face up to it since before Jimmy Carter.
Admiral Lyons explains how Carter failed to cut off Khomeini’s taking over of our embassy. Next he says that the Secretary of Defense “sabotaged” a strike against those who bombed our Marine barracks after Reagan approved it and the French offered to join our effort. In 1987, again Lyons says the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff “sabotaged” the choice to attack Khomeini.
Finally, he addresses whether “radical Islam” is different from “Islam,” saying
“until you recognize Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion, you’re never gonna come to grips with it.”
He concludes with this startling statement, “the Obama administration has a strategy. It’s very simple… It’s anti-American, it’s anti-Western, it’s pro-Islamic, it’s pro-Iranian and pro-Muslim Brotherhood.”
These are themes and notions that The Right Scoop and Walid Shoebat have strenuously tried to address, and it is truly amazing to hear a retired Admiral with nearly the identical concerns.
