017 James Mitchell Mike Drop Clip

About this video

The speaker recounts a conversation with KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) about how he defines ‘peace’ and ’truce’ according to his interpretation of Islam. KSM explained that peace means the entire world under Sharia law and a Muslim caliphate, while a truce is merely a temporary cessation of hostilities until jihadists can become strong enough to attack again. The speaker argues that this creates confusion when some groups use these terms publicly in America, as Americans interpret the words differently than how they are meant in this Islamic interpretation.
