How To Defeat Radical Islam And Islamism

As Obama continues the use of radical Islam resist

Here’s a suggestion of a person to add to his White House invite list

If too crowded then Al Sharpton he should drop

Move Maajid Nawaz to the absolute top

Listening to Sharpton on racial relations and how the forces of racism can be tamed

Is about as productive and effective as using high octane gas to put out the flames

Since our president on radical Islam can only hide his head in the sand

While the jihadists of the world are killing innocents across the lands

 Nawaz founded Quilliam Foundation the first think tank to counter terror

To not enlist his skills and mindset would be a colossal typical Obama error

He is blunt and very, very right and his warnings Obama must heed

“But no strategy intended to defeat Islamism can succeed

if Islamism itself and its violent expression in jihadism are not first named, isolated and understood”

Failing to follow Nawaz’s warning is about as useful as building a house out of termite infested rotten deadwood

We cannot fight what we cannot name, isolate and understand

No matter how many drones we put in the air and how many boots we put on the land.
