NY Post seems to attribute it to an "unnamed senior State Department official" talking to a National Journal writer. -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 08:38 8
- Everything sources back to that National Journal article. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 26, 08:48
- So nothing from Obama, Clinton, Biden or a named source? - amoxy Apr 26, 08:41 6
  - Nope. Here's the relevant paragraph from the NJ article. (Plus the graph before and after) - Ender Apr 26, 08:50 5
    - I rarely read the term "Islamism" before today. I'm not getting the terminology at all. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 26, 08:52 4
      - Islamist politicians in the middle east are in favor of government based on Sharia law. - loosilu Apr 26, 08:53 3
        
        This isn't correct. Turkey, for example, has an Islamist government but it's not in favour of sharia law. - Roger More Apr 26, 08:58
        
        Secular politicians in the west are in favor of government based on Biblical law. - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 26, 08:55 1
        
        I think my term does relate, so there. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:55
