Howard Dean: Paris killers aren't 'Muslim terrorists' - oh and ISIS isn't Islamic, either

This morning, Dan and I were wondering what it will take to shake radical Islam's apologists out of their ridiculous haze. I argue that nothing will ever do it, since the "all religion is equally bad" argument is central to the ideals and goals of the left-wing political ideology. After all, when you worship government and bureaucracy, no mere "God" can ever be allowed to horn in on the spotlight.

Still, we wondered: Will Islamist attacks on the media - which the left allegedly holds sacred - finally be enough to wake them up? As if anticipating the question, Howard Dean appeared on MSNBC. ...And the answer is "no."

"You know, this is a chronic problem. I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists. They're about as Muslim as I am. I mean, they have no respect for anybody else's life, that's not what the Koran says. Europe has an enormous radical problem."

Radical what, Mr. Dean? It doesn't have a 'radical Christian' problem.... It doesn't have a 'radical Buddhist' problem... It doesn't have a 'radical Hindu' problem... Heck, it doesn't even have a 'radical Satanic Temple' problem... So, just who are these oh-so-unaffiliated radicals that murdered 12 people over a cartoon?

If that's not enough, Dean also decided that it was a good time to try and claim that ISIS was similarly "non-Islamic."

I think ISIS is a cult. Not an Islamic cult. I think it's a cult.

Here's the video: So, this is the new strategy. Since defending radical Islam is a losing political battle, the left is going to pretend that the people carrying out these attacks simply "aren't Muslims." In the leftist world view, Islam doesn't have a problem with terrorism, because they've decided that anyone who's a terrorist is clearly not a Muslim. Conveniently circular logic.
