Organized Political Terrorism: The Norwegian Massacre, the State, the Media and Israel- by Prof. James Petras

“So let us fight together with Israel , with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/Multiculturalists”. Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto  “. . . two more cells exist in my organization”. . . Ander Behring Breivik in police custody (Reuters 7/25/11)

Có hai sự kiện quan trọng mà chúng ta cần suy ngẫm.
Sự kiện thứ nhất là vụ khủng bố ở Na Uy.  (sự kiện thứ hai sẽ đang kế tiếp sau bài này)

Sự Kiện này nó bổ xung cho vụ 911 để khẳng định sự TÀN BẠO PHI NHÂN của chủ nghĩa Quốc Gia Nhà Nước Ái Quốc Dân Tộc và Tôn Giáo nó vượt ngoài sức tưởng tượng của mọi người. Nó không chỉ đơn giản là "tiêu chí cực đoan" mà còn là phương tiện đắc lực của chủ nghĩa ĐẠI ĐẾ QUỐC.

1- Như chúng ta biết, ngày 22- tháng 7 năm 2011- khi nhóm khủng bố quốc gia dân tộc thiên chúa giáo - cho nổ bom và bắn giết ở Na Uy, tấn công vào văn phòng thủ tướng đảng Lao Động Na Uy Jen Stoltenberg tại Oslo- sau đó tiến hành tàn sát các thanh niên đoàn viên đảng Lao Động Na Uy đang dự hội thảo trại hè tại đảo Utoeya chỉ cách thủ đô Oslo 20 phút- Thì các tờ báo chính qui lớn nhất của Mỹ là Washington Post, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, và ở Anh tờ The Sun của Rupert Murdoch.. đều đăng tin và hình ảnh TỐ CÁO ĐÂY LÀ HÀNH ĐỘNG CỦA TỔ CHỨC HỒI GIÁO AL QAEDA- và ngay cả OBama và thủ tướng Tân tây Lan cũng "vội vã nhanh chóng" lên án khủng bố Hồi Giáo để khẳng định chính sách "chiến tranh chống khủng bố" của Mỹ đã kéo dài gần 10 năm nay- Bất chấp thông tin từ chính quốc Na Uy thông báo tên sát thủ là người da trắng Na Uy, thành viên đảng Quốc Gia Thiên Chúa Giáo.

2- Nhưng không bao lâu sau đó, khi thủ tướng Na Uy và an ninh- tòa án Na Uy chính thức thông báo kết quả sơ khởi điều tra sau khi tên sát thủ đầu hàng với đầy đủ danh tính hình ảnh, trang mạng riêng của hắn và các hồ sơ cá nhân của  Anders Behring Breivik là thành viên của nhóm Quốc Gia Thiên Chúa Giáo ủng hộ Đại Do Thái- thì bọn báo chí chính qui Mỹ và Anh đã không xin lỗi  cái bản tin "hớ hênh vội vã" sai lầm của chúng nó, mà quay ra KHẲNG ĐỊNH rằng tên  Anders Behring Breivik này chỉ HÀNH ĐỘNG MỘT MÌNH- Trong khi bằng chứng và lời khai của nạn nhân cho biết phải có ít nhất là hai người bắn giết từ hai phía khác nhau. Chưa nói đến sụ kiện chính Anders Behring Breivik khai là còn hai nhóm nữa đang hoạt động.

3- Theo bản điều tra chi tiết và đối chiếu sự vụ, thì CẢNH SÁT AN NINH của NAUY được thông báo nhưng đã ĐỦNG ĐỈNH  mất 1 tiếng rưỡi (90 phút) để đưa lực lượng đến đảo Utoeya giải cúu, khiến nhóm sát thủ có dư giờ bắn giết tại chỗ những ai chỉ bị thương, và tìm cách bắn giết những ai đang lẩn trốn hoặc đang bơi ra xa-  dù nơi cắm trại này chỉ cách căn cứ Cảnh Sát và An Ninh có 12 phút nếu bay bằng trực thăng, 25 phút nếu là xe và 30 phút nếu dùng Thuyền cao tốc của cảnh sát. Khi bị báo chí và dân chúng chất vấn, tên Cảnh Sát Trưởng Sveinung Sponheim, đã đưa ra lý cớ rất vớ vẩn để bào chữa cho sự chậm trễ rằng vì "cảnh sát gặp trở ngại phương tiện giao thông, rằng trực thăng không có sẵn và cảnh sát không tìm đâu ra được tầu cao tốc" (The police chief, Sveinung Sponheim, made the feeblest excuse and cover-up, claiming “problems with transport”. Sponheim argued that a helicopter “wasn’t on standby” and they “could not find a boat” (Associated Press, July 24, 2011).

4- Các bằng chứng đều cho thấy Anders Behring Breivik không thể hành động một mình, hoặc chỉ là tên điên loạn, mà hắn có cả một "tuyên ngôn" mà những tư tưởng lập luận gần như đồng bộ với chủ trương của các đảng Quốc Gia Thiên Chúa Giáo của Âu Châu, Mỹ và Do Thái.  “Như vậy chúng ta hãy chiến đấu cùng với Do Thái, với anh em chiến hũu  Đại Do Thái của chúng ta chống lại bọn chống chủ nghĩa Đại Do Thái , chống lại bọn văn hóa Mác Xít và bọn Đa Văn Hóa" (So let us fight together with Israel , with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/Multiculturalists. Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto)

5- Anders Behring Breivik từng tham dự hội đồng Quốc Gia Thiên Chúa Giáo tổ chức tại Anh năm 2002.

6- Cấu trúc chất nổ và phương thức đặt BOM  ở Oslo là của một NHÓM CHUYÊN GIA mới có khả năng chính xác và kết quả lớn đến như vậy- chứ không thể chỉ là của một TAY MƠ và ĐƠN ĐỘC có óc ĐIÊN LOẠN- và cách tổ chức thời gian để mặc sắc phục CẢNH SÁT trà trộn vào đảo để dùng vũ khí với đạn dược chuyên nghiệp đầy đủ để tàn sát gần trăm người- bắn từng người và bắn kết liễu sinh mạng với những ai chỉ mới bị thương ở đợt đầu- sau đó săn lùng những ngừoi đang chạy trốn- Làm sao chỉ ĐƠN ĐỘC MỘT NGƯỜI lại cò ĐẦY ĐỦ PHƯƠNG TIỆN và đủ THỜI GIAN để  ĐẠT KẾT QUẢ như vậy? Và  KHI CẢNH SÁT ĐẾN NƠI, chẳng cúu được ai,  vì tên sát nhân đã hết đạn và tự đầu hàng để TUYÊN BỐ MỤC ĐÍCH của việc hắn tàn sát "dù tàn bạo nhưng cần thiết" (brutal but necessary).

7- Phải chăng cuộc THÁNH CHIẾN đã tái khởi với sự chủ động của các thế lực hũu khuynh tại Âu Châu (NATO) bằng con đường KHỦNG BỐ những ai có khuynh hướng NHÂN BẢN-TINH THẦN ĐA VĂN HÓA như nhóm THANH THIẾU NIÊN THAM DỰ trại Hè tại đảo Utoeyu -  Tạo căng thẳng, bất ổn xã hội, để quần chúng co rút và giao khoán cho những chính trị gia TO MỒM CHỦ TRƯƠNG CỨNG RẮN - ANH NINH QUÂN SỰ và CHỐNG DI DÂN như thời kỳ Hitler và Mussolini?

Câu hỏi mà nhà xã hội học Na Uy Johan Galtung, có ngừoi cháu tham dự trại hè và may mắn sống sót- đặt ra sau vụ này là Tín Ngưỡng Ki Tô mà  nhóm khủng bố Chủ Nghĩa Quốc Gia Dân Tộc ở Âu Châu tin tưởng có còn gì tương đồng với tín ngưỡng Ki Tô Hũu mà Ông và cháu ông hay không?

Và theo lời trăn trối của một THIẾU NỮ 19 trước khi bị bắn chết, dường như đã nhận diện ra NHỮNG KẺ BẮN GIẾT MÌNH LÀ AI-  đã THÉT LÊN "Nếu Tôi chết ở đây, xin hãy nhớ rằng bọn các người tất cả là lũ cuồng tín, và cứ tiếp tục chiến đấu đi"('If I die here, please remember that you're all fantastic, and keep up your struggle.’" democracynow.org)

Toàn bộ sự kiện và theo dấu những cuộc điều tra ĐỘC LẬP đối chiếu với sự kiên, và theo giáo sư James Petras đã nêu ra, đã cho thấy đây là cả một KẾ HOẠCH của cảc đảng QUỐC GIA THIÊN CHÚA GIÁO ÂU CHÂU  và tại Mỹ- được cấu kết chặt chẽ với nền BÁO CHÍ TRUYỀN THÔNG CHÍNH QUI- đầu não các cơ quan An Ninh và Quân Đội.. chứ không chỉ là hành động "cực đoan" của một vài cá nhân. Sau hành động tàn bạo 911 do chính nhà nước Mỹ, Quân đội An Ninh Mỹ gây ra, đây là bước thứ hai của tiến trình CHỦ NGHĨA QUỐC GIA DÂN TỘC THIÊN CHÚA GIÁO ÂU CHÂU-..Sự NỐI DÀI của tinh thần THÁNH CHIẾN.. Nếu không thức tỉnh và chặn đứng được, thì  NHÂN LOẠI NÓI CHUNG và ÂU CHÂU NÓI RIÊNG sẽ chứng kiến một THẢM HỌA ĐẪM MÁU hơn cả thời Hitler..

Introduction:

The July 22, 2011, bombing of the office of the Norwegian Prime Minister, Labor Party Jen Stoltenberg, which killed 8 civilians, and the subsequent political assassination of 68 unarmed activists of the Labor Party Youth on Utoeya Island, just 20 minutes from Oslo, by militant neo-fascist Christian-Zionists, raises fundamental questions about the growing links between the legal Far-Right, the ‘mainstream media’, the Norwegian police, Israel and rightwing terrorism.

The Mass Media and the Rise of Rightwing Terrorism:

The leading English language newspapers, The New York Times (NYT), the Washington Post (WP), the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and the Financial Times (FT), as well as President Obama, blamed “Islamic extremists”, upon the first police reports of the killings, publishing a series of incendiary (and false) headlines and reports, labeling the event as ‘Norway’s 9-11’,in terms, which echoed the ideological motivation and justifications cited by the Norwegian Christian-Zionist political assassin, Anders Behring Breivik himself,. The July 23/24 front page of the Financial Times (of London ), read “Islamist extremism fears: Worst Europe strike since 2005”. Obama immediately cited the terrorist attack in Norway to further justify his overseas wars against Muslim countries. The FT, NYT, WP and WSJ trotted out their self-styled “experts” who debated over which Arab/Islamic leaders or movements were responsible – despite Norwegian press reports of ‘the arrest of a Nordic man in police uniform’.

Clearly, the US mass media and political elite were eager to use the bombing and assassinations to justify ongoing overseas imperial wars, ignoring the burgeoning domestic extremist rightwing organizations and violent individuals who are the outgrowth of official Islamophobic hate propaganda.

When Anders Breivik, a known neo-fascist extremist, handed his weapons over to Norwegian police without resistance and claimed credit for the bombing and massacre, the second phase of the official cover-up took place: He was immediately described as “a lone wolf assassin”, who “acted alone” (BBC July 24, 2011) or as mentally deranged, downplaying his political networks, his American, European and Israeli ideological mentors and commitments, which led to his acts of terrorism. Even more outrageous, the media and officials ignored the fact that this complex, multiphase terrorist attack was beyond the capacity of one ‘deranged’ person.

Anders Behring Breivik had been a dues-paying member of a Far-Right political party, The Progress Party and a collaborator and contributor to an overtly neo-Nazi web site. He frequently focused his hatred on the ruling Labor Party for its relative tolerance of immigrants. He despised immigrants especially, Muslims, and was an ardent Christian-Zionist supporter of Israeli repression and terror against the Palestinian people. His criminal action was political in essence and embedded in a much wider political network.

The political elite and media have scrambled to deny the overlapping links between ‘legal’ ideological Islamophobes, like the American Zionists Daniel Pipes, David Horowitz, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, the Dutch far-right Party of Freedom led by the hate-monger Geert Wilders and their counterparts in the Norwegian Progress Party who rail against the “Muslim threat”. The “direct action” terrorists take their cues from electoral parties, like the Progress Party, who recruit and indoctrinate activists, like Behring Breivik, who then leave the ‘electoral road’ to carry out their bloody carnage, allowing the ‘respectable’ hate-mongers to hypocritically condemn him… after the outrage.

The Lone Assassin: A Fascist Superman Travels Faster than a Speeding Bullet Versus the Police Moving Slower than an Arthritic Turtle:

The case for the “lone wolf terrorist” defies credence. It is a tissue of lies used to cover up state complicity, intelligence malfeasance, and the sharp right-turn in the domestic and foreign policies of NATO countries.

There is no basis to accept Breivik’s initial claim that he acted alone for several outstanding reasons: First, the car bomb, which devastated downtown Oslo, was a highly complex weapon requiring expertise and coordination – the kind available to state or intelligence services, like the Mossad, which specialize in devastating car bombs. Amateurs, like Breivik, with no training in explosives, usually blow themselves up or lack the skill required to connect the electronic timing devices or remote detonators (like the unsuccessful ‘shoe’, ‘underpants’ and ‘Times Square’ bombers have proved) .

Secondly, the details of  (a) moving the bomb, (b) obtaining (stealing) a vehicle, (c) placing the device at the strategic site, (d) successfully detonating it and (e) then gowning up in an elaborate special police uniform with an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of ammunition and driving off in another vehicle to Utoeya Island, (f) waiting patiently while armed to the teeth for a ferry boat, g) crossing with other passengers in his police uniform, (h) rounding up the Labor youth activists and commencing the massacre of scores of unarmed youth and finally (i) finishing off the wounded and hunting for those trying to hide or swim away - is not the activity of a lone zealot. Even the combination of Superman, Einstein and a world class marksman could not perform those tasks.

The media and NATO leaders must view the public as passive morons to expect them to believe that Anders Behring Breivik “acted alone”. He is willing to take a 20 year prison sentence if it means, as he maintains, that their collective action is the spark that ignites his comrades and advances the agenda of the violent and legal far rightwing parties. Facing a Norwegian judge on July 25, he publicly declared the existence of “two more cells in my organization”. According to witness testimony on Utoeya Island shots from two distinct weapons were heard from different directions during the massacre. The police say they are… “investigating”. Needless to say the police have found nothing; instead they put on a “show” to cover their inaction by raiding two houses far from the massacre and quickly released the suspects.

The most serious political implication of the terrorist action, however, is the conspicuous complicity of top police officials. The police took 90 minutes to arrive at Utoeya Island , located less than 20 miles from Oslo , 12 minutes by helicopter and 25 to 30 minutes by car and boat. The delay allowed the right wing assassins to use up the ammunition, maximizing the death toll of young, anti-fascist activists and devastating the Labor youth movement. The police chief, Sveinung Sponheim, made the feeblest excuse and cover-up, claiming “problems with transport”. Sponheim argued that a helicopter “wasn’t on standby” and they “could not find a boat” (Associated Press, July 24, 2011).

Yet a helicopter was available; it managed to fly to Utoeya and film the ongoing slaughter, and over half of Norwegians, a seafaring people for millennia, own or have access to a boat. A police force, faced with what the Prime Minister calls the ‘worst atrocity since the Nazi occupation’, moving at the pace of an arthritic turtle to rescue youth activists, raises the suspicion of some level of complicity. The obvious question arises as to the degree to which the ideology of right wing extremism – neo-fascism – has penetrated the police and security forces, especially the upper echelons? This level of “inactivity” raises more questions than it answers. What it suggests is that the Social Democrats only control part of the Government – the legislative, while the neo-fascists influence the state apparatus.

The plain fact is that the police did not save a single life. When they finally arrived, Anders Behring Breivik had run out of ammunition and surrendered turning himself over to the police. The police literally did not fire a single shot; they did not even have to hunt or capture the assassin. An almost choreographed scenario: Hundreds wounded, 68 unarmed, peaceful activists killed and the Labor youth movement decimated.

The police can claim “crime solved” while the mass media prattles about a “lone assassin”. The far right has a “martyr” to mask a further advance in their anti-Muslim, pro Israel crusade. (It is reminiscent of the celebrated Israeli-American fascist mass murderer, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, who slaughtered dozens of unarmed Palestinian men and boys at prayer in 1994).

Only two days before the political murders, the head of the Labor Party Youth Movement, Eskil Pederson, gave an interview to the Dagbladet, Norway’s second largest tabloid, in which he announced a “unilateral economic embargo of Israel from the Norwegian side” (Gilad Atzmon, July 24, 2011).

The fact of the matter is that the Norwegian military has no problem promptly dispatching 500 troops to Afghanistan, half way around the world and providing six Norwegian Air Force jets and pilots to bomb and terrorize Libya . And yet they can’t find a helicopter or a row boat to transport their police a couple hundred yards to stop a domestic right wing terrorist – whose murderous rampage was being described second by second by the terrorized young victims on their cell phones to their frantic parents?

The Imperial Roots of Domestic Fascism: Conclusion

Clearly, the decisions of Norway and other Scandinavian nations to participate in the US imperial crusades against Muslim and especially Arab people in the Middle East have aroused and energized the neo-fascist right. They now want to “bring the war home”; they want Norway to go further, to ‘cleanse the nation’ by expelling Muslims. They want to “send a message” to the Labor Party: Either it must accept a full neo-fascist pro-Israeli agenda or expect more massacres, more elected fascists, more followers of Anders Behring Breivik.

The “Progress Party” is now the second largest political party in Norway . If a “conservative” coalition defeats Labor, neo-fascists will probably sit in the Government. Who knows, after a few years of good behavior, they might find an excuse to commute their ex-comrade's sentence . . . or proclaim him mentally rehabilitated and freed.

Clearly what is needed is the immediate withdrawal of all troops from imperial wars and a systematic, coherent and organized fight against domestic right-wing terrorists and their intellectual godparents, in America , Israel and Europe . Labor youth must go press on with their demand that the Labor Government, under Prime Minister Jen Stoltenberg, recognize the nation of Palestine and implement a total boycott of Israeli goods and services. A national and international political-educational campaign must be organized to expose the links between respectable electoral fascists and violent terrorists. The Labor Youth martyrs of Utoeya Island should be cherished and their ideals taught in all the schools. Their far-right enemies and supporters whether overt, covert or directly complicit, should be exposed and condemned. The best weapon against the renewed neo-fascist onslaught is a political and educational offensive, taking up the anti-fascist, anti-Quisling (Norway ’s notorious Nazi collaborator) fighting traditions of their grandparents’ era. It’s not too late – if the Labor Party, the Norwegian trade unions and the anti-fascist youth act now before the flood of resurgent fascism.

Democracy Now! archive of reports about the July 22, 2011, attack by Anders Behring Breivik, when he set off a bomb outside government buildings in Oslo, Norway, and then opened fire on a Labour Party summer camp for youth activists. At least 76 people were killed and 96 others wounded. Breivik has been described as an anti-Islamic, right-wing extremist who claimed to be acting in order to save Norway and Europe from "Marxist and Muslim colonization."

• Norway’s Johan Galtung, Peace & Conflict Pioneer, on How to Stop Extremism that Fueled Shooting
  Norwegian police have released the identities of another 24 people killed by alleged attacker Anders Behring Breivik as they ended their search for bodies around the island where 68 of the overall 76 victims of the twin Norway attacks were murdered. Breivik is due to be questioned by the police for the second time today. Details have emerged, meanwhile, on Breivik’s claim to have bought high-capacity ammunition clips used in the attack from the United States. As Norway mourns the tragedy, we speak with Johan Galtung, a Norwegian sociologist who is considered the father of peace and conflict studies. Galtung’s granddaughter was on the island when Breivik attacked. [includes rush transcript]
  
• Norwegian Shooting Suspect’s Views Echo Xenophobia of Right-Wing Extremists in U.S., Europe
  Before the deadly attack in Norway that killed 76 people, suspect Anders Behring Breivik left a long trail of material meticulously outlining his political beliefs. His 1,500-page political manifesto, titled "A European Declaration of Independence," seeks common cause with xenophobic right-wing groups around the world, particularly in the United States. It draws heavily on the writing of prominent anti-Islam American bloggers, as well as Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. His writing reveals he is a right-wing nationalist fueled by a combined hatred of Muslims, Marxists, multiculturalists and feminist women. Even after the massacre in Norway, some right-wing pundits in the United States have come out in defense of Breivik’s analysis. We speak with Jeff Sharlet, an author who has written extensively about right-wing movements in the United States, who has read much of Breivik’s 1,500-page manifesto. "What struck me most about this document is just how American it is in every way. I mean, a huge amount of it is from American sources," Sharlet says. "He’s a great admirer of America, because he says United States, unlike Europe, has maintained its 'Christian identity.'" [includes rush transcript]
  
• Before Death, Acclaimed "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Author Stieg Larsson Lamented Right-Wing Extremism
  In the aftermath of the Norway attacks, we look at the work of Stieg Larsson, an author known less for his extensive research into right-wing extremism in Scandavia and Europe than for his international blockbuster books, published after his death and known as the Millennium Trilogy: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.” As part of his passion to "counteract the growth of the extreme right and the white power-culture in schools and among young people," Larsson founded the Swedish Expo Foundation and edited its magazine, Expo. We go to Stockholm, Sweden, to speak with Larsson’s lifelong partner, Eva Gabrielsson, about the research they did together before his death. [includes rush transcript]
  
• Eyewitness to Norwegian Massacre: Survivor Recalls Attack at Island Youth Camp
  Norwegian police have widened their investigation into Friday’s mass killing after the alleged shooter, Anders Behring Breivik, told a court in Oslo on Monday that he had "two further cells" in his organization. During the hearing, Breivik accepted responsibility for the attacks but denied charges of terrorism. Norwegian media reports that if he is convicted of crimes against humanity, he could receive a 30-year sentence. At least 76 people were killed and 96 others wounded when Breivik allegedly set off a bomb outside government buildings in Oslo and then opened fire on a Labour Party summer camp for youth activists. We are joined from Oslo by Ali Esbati, one of the survivors of the shooting. He is an economist who was at the camp on Norway’s Utoya Island to give a workshop and escaped the shooting by diving into the water. "I saw a young girl, 18 or 19, who had been shot, and she kept repeating that 'If I die here, please remember that you're all fantastic, and keep up your struggle.’" [includes rush transcript]
  
• Norway Attacks Reveal Growing Violent, Anti-Muslim Sentiment in Europe
  Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted to the mass shooting and bombing in Norway, has been described as an anti-Islamic, right-wing extremist who claimed to be acting in order to save Norway and Europe from "Marxist and Muslim colonization." To discuss the prevalence and legitimacy of these views, we speak with Kari Helene Partapuoli, the director of the Norwegian Center Against Racism. She says Breivik’s ideology was shaped in part by the Norwegian Defence League and the group Stop the Islamisation of Norway. “He didn’t just go on a shooting spree. He was also shaped by this political environment on the right wing,” says Partapuoli. [includes rush transcript]
  
• Glenn Greenwald: Norway Attacks Expose U.S. Media’s Double Standard on "Terrorism"
  Numerous news outlets and commentators initially blamed the attacks in Norway on Islamic militants. Rupert Murdoch’s British newspaper, The Sun, ran a front-page headline that read, "'Al-Qaeda' Massacre: Norway’s 9/11." In the United States, Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal also initially blamed "jihadists," reporting that "Norway is targeted for being true to Western norms." Meanwhile, on the Washington Post’s website, Jennifer Rubin wrote, "This is a sobering reminder for those who think it’s too expensive to wage a war against jihadists." To discuss the media coverage of the attacks, we’re joined by Glenn Greenwald, constitutional law attorney and political and legal blogger who has written about the media coverage of the attacks in Norway for Salon.com. “When it became apparent that Muslims were not involved and that, in reality, it was a right-wing nationalist with extremely anti-Muslim, strident anti-Muslim bigotry as part of his worldview, the word 'terrorism' almost completely disappeared from establishment media discourse. Instead, he began to be referred to as a 'madman' or an 'extremist,'" says Greenwald. “It really underscores, for me, the fact that this word 'terrorism,' that plays such a central role in our political discourse and our law, really has no objective meaning. It’s come to mean nothing more than Muslims who engage in violence." [includes rush transcript]
