Steve Bannon Makes Headlines In Terrorist Newspaper

Source: Mediaite

The White House Chief strategist and former Breitbart chairman took front page billing — above the fold — in a recent edition of Al Masra. The newspaper is aligned with the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.

Far from an excoriation, the publication came out in support of Bannon’s view that Islam and western civilization were locked in an existential conflict and cited what they said was Bannon’s belief that “the forces of Islam cannot be stopped by peaceful means.”

“The fact that (Al Masra) would put this so prominently on the front page—as lead article—indicates it has traction, that this is a way to win support.” Elisabeth Kendall a University of Oxford senior research fellow of Arabic and Islamic studies told Quartz. “It plays entirely into their narrative that they were right about the West’s war on Islam all along.”

They're going to get extremist riled up and cause another major terrorist attack on US soil. At which time, they'll say, "see, we were right, can't trust Muslims."

Cheney is an evil motherfucker, but he's got nothing on Bannon and Miller.

see them ignore every white supremacist attack on US soil. But they had time to completely make up Bowling Green, Atlanta, and Sweden to let us know who we can't trust.

45's words and treatment towards Muslims is assuring great hatred abroad and here. 45 doesn't have Bannon's lust for the Christian--Islam clash, but he wants a nice little war. It silences critics and the MSM goes mum.

So Bannon and 45's aims dovetail perfectly.
