As the world still reels from jihad mass murder attacks in Paris and Bamako, and Israeli civilians are under daily siege from murderous Islamic jihadists, the Democratic National Committee is trying to make a virtue of willful ignorance, making a hero of the man they relentlessly doused with contempt and hatred for eight years, George W. Bush, and holding up as exemplary his denial of the nature of the jihad threat. “It’s a war against evil people,” Bush says of the war on terror in this ad — apparently that is as far as the DNC is willing to go and wants anyone else to go in naming the enemy in this war.

Meanwhile, Muslim clerics call for jihad murder from their pulpits. Muslims who commit mass murder scream “Allahu akbar” as they do it, and use Qur’an tests to determine who they will kill and who they will set free. But for the DNC, if you notice the Islamic character of the war against us even to the degree of using the weaselly term “radical Islam,” you’re “inciting fear.”

The DNC claims that to say “radical Islam” is to say that all Muslims are terrorists. That is tantamount to claiming that to say “Italian mafia” is to assert that all Italians are mafiosi. The distinction is not really that difficult: not all Muslims are terrorists, but Islamic terrorism derives from Islamic principles. Islamic advocacy groups have labored for years to obscure that simple truth, and the DNC is now working enthusiastically in service of their agenda.
