The war begins: Breitbart.com attacks McMaster as Koran-kissing terrorist sympathizer

The Alt-right” hub Breitbart.com stepped up its ongoing war with White House National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster on Sunday, accusing him of being soft on Islamic terrorists because the lieutenant general endorsed a book about Islamic cultural respect.

The Hill said on Sunday that the broadside against McMaster stems from his support of a training manual for military personnel regarding Muslim customs around treatment of the faith’s holy book, the Koran.

The book serves as a guide to how “not to inflame religious tensions with Muslim populations in countries where American troops are deployed,” the Hill said.

Breitbart.com — which ousted White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon called his “killing machine” on Friday — reframed this as “H.R. McMaster Endorsed Book That Advocates Quran-Kissing Apology Ceremonies.”

And in these days, that kind of noise matters.
