Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.) says Boko Haram, the well-known Islamic terrorist group that is responsible for kidnapping hundreds of Nigerian girls and forcing them to convert to Islam, should not be confused with Islam.
Yes, her argument fails to make any sense and it’s a must watch clip from a Thursday hearing.
State Department official Robert Jackson, provoked Shaheen's comment when he argued that "Boko Haram's philosophy is not an Islamist philosophy."
"I agree and I’m glad you made that point," Shaheen responded.
"Clearly, we need to make sure Islam is not confused with some of these horrible terrorist acts that have been and continue to be perpetrated by terrorists groups," she added.
