US Admiral James Lyons said it best, "Islam is Islam. There are no modifiers, and until you realize Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion, you're never going to come to grips with it."
James Lyons needs to go back to school, or at the very least read a book.
Given his CV I'm pretty sure he has a read a book or two and been privy to many things most people will never be allowed to. I don't think you attain a post like Chief of Pacific Fleet without knowing a thing or two about the world. Disagree with him if you want but I doubt it would be an even debate if you took him on.
