NYT: New National Security Adviser Breaks With Trump On Views Of Islam

President Donald Trump's newly-minted National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday that terrorists are "un-Islamic," according to a report published Friday by the New York Times, in a break from Trump's views.

McMaster told National Security Council staff in a meeting that the label "radical Islamic terrorism" is not helpful and that terrorists are "un-Islamic," the New York Times reported, citing unnamed sources who were present.

Trump has repeatedly painted Islam with a broad brush as a source of "hatred" and condemned other politicians for refusing to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism."

In the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, Trump floated creating a database for Muslim Americans.

Trump refused in the same month to say whether he believed Islam was an inherently violent religion, but said "there’s something going on there."

"There’s a lot of hatred coming out of at least a big part of it," he said. "You see the hatred. We see it every day."

A day after all three Democratic presidential candidates eschewed the use of the term "radical Islam" in a primary debate, Trump took to Twitter to decry their semantics.

A month later, he announced his support for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."

In March 2016, Trump called Islam a source of "tremendous hatred."

McMaster's predecessor, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, also called Islam a “malignant cancer” and a “sick” ideology.

During his first week in office, Trump signed an executive order to temporarily bar visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.

While members of his administration claimed the order was not formulated on a "religious basis," that was incorrect, as the order stipulated that Christians and other members of minority religions be given priority over Muslims.

WSJ: White House Complained Report On Travel Ban Not What Trump 'Asked For'

White House officials said a report disputing the threat posed by travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries included in President Donald Trump's executive order was "not the intelligence assessment the president asked for," according to a report published Saturday by the Wall Street Journal.

“The President asked for an intelligence assessment. This is not the intelligence assessment the President asked for,” an unnamed senior administration official said as quoted in the Wall Street Journal's report.

Unnamed officials said that the report ignored information that supports the travel ban, per the report, and that they have not yet been presented with the report they requested.

The Associated Press reported on Friday that it had obtained a draft document of the report, which concluded that citizenship of the countries included in Trump's ban is an "unlikely indicator" of terrorism threat level.

When Trump announced the now-blocked ban in January, however, he specifically cited "foreign terrorist entry" as one threat it would eliminate.

“We all know what that means,” he said.

Gillian M. Christensen, acting press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, told the Wall Street Journal that the dispute over the report was on the basis of "sources and quality, not politics."
