Our Theologian in Chief
From Jawa:Robin Simcox voices something that's been bothering me for some time about those in the government who proclaim just what Islam is and isn't. In this case the post is addressed toward Obama's chief terrorism adviser John Brennan who is apparently an expert on just what jihad means and who declares that terrorists are not jihadists since jihad means inner struggle and what not.
Here's Simcox's objection:
The problem is that I have no idea why the deputy NSA feels he has to try and be a theologian, and what makes him qualified to rule on the naunces of jihad. It is not the role of government counterterrorism officials to instruct anyone what Islam – or any religion – is and what it isn’t.Agreed.The truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as "authentic Islam". Just as there is no such thing as "authentic Christianity" or "authentic" any non-hierarchical religion.
John Brennan is no more qualified to tell us about authentic Islam than is Osama bin Laden.
