Yesterday Raw Story reported this from Flynn: "If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion," Flynn said at a ReAwaken America event in San Antonio. "One nation under God, and one religion under God." https://www.rawstory.com/michael-flynn-2655547552/
This is what he said about fighting extremism as an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. military: Over the course of all those interrogations, I concluded that core Al Qaeda wasnt actually comprised of human beings, but rather it was an ideology with a particular version of Islam at its center, Flynn said in the recent interview. More than a religion, this ideology encompasses a political belief system, because its adherents want to rule thingswhether its a village, a city, a region or an entire caliphate. And to achieve that goal, they are willing to use extreme violence. The religious nature of that threat makes it very hard for Americans to come to grips with. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/10/how-mike-flynn-became-americas-angriest-general-214362/

(36,419 posts)that he could be called back to service & then court martialed. If that is truly possible, then I don't understand why it isn't done. We seem to be treating all of these insurrectionists & traitors with kid gloves instead of sending a message that this type of behavior won't be tolerated.

(42,515 posts)fighting each other for whose version of that "one religion" was right. Actually, it would really be a fight for power and control, but the religious leaders would certainly frame it as a battle over doctrine and theology.
