Debra Burlingame on Obama saying Islamic State is ‘not Islamic’: I think he knows better

On September 11, 2014, Debra Burlingame spoke with Ginni Thomas (hat tip to the Daily Caller) about President Obama’s claim that the ideology driving the Islamic State (“ISIL”) is “not Islamic.”

“I can’t really enter the mind of Barack Obama or George Bush to know what they really know and what they really believe. I only know what the facts are. I only know that in fact just because they’re violent doesn’t mean they are not a religion. And in fact there are some fifty different descriptions of violent jihad in the Koran.

“Not only that, the Koran goes into gross detail on how to dispatch an infidel, striking at the throat, cutting off the hands and the feet. And remember this isn’t something we interpret — some people say the bible is an allegory — these are the perfect words of Allah that transcend all time and space, and in fact to say Allah didn’t actually mean what he said through the prophet Mohammed in that moment is blasphemy under Islam.

“To say its not a religion, I think [Obama] knows better. I can’t possibly know that. I know that he has invited the Muslim Brotherhood into his administration and consults with them regularly. Well, the Muslim Brotherhood is the political wing of violent Islamist Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood absolutely believes in a global caliphate.”

Debra Burlingame on Benghazi, War on Terror, and Obamacare, guest hosting for Tammy Bruce

Debra Burlingame filled in yesterday for the vacationing Tammy Bruce and interviewed a great lineup of guests. After first providing her perspective of the War on Terror since 9/11, Debra spoke with John Rosenthal, author of The Jihadist Plot: The Untold Story of Al-Qaeda and the Libyan Rebellion. Why did Benghazi happen? In Libya, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton switched sides:

Bill Roggio, Managing Editor of the Long War Journal, joined Debra to talk about the current state of the war. Is al Qaeda on the run? No, but that does not fit the Obama administration’s narrative:

Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant Governor of New York and the author of Beating Obamacare; Your Handbook for the New Healthcare Law, was next up. Repealing or modifying Obamacare will take an act of Congress and the President’s signature. What do you need to do to survive until (if ever) that happens?

Diana West, syndicated columnist and the author of American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character, talked about the past 80 years of betrayal by our government. We won World II and the Cold War? Listen, read Diana’s book, and think again:
