Today, I am proud to release my detailed plan on how we can protect the homeland and destroy Radical Islamic Terrorist groups like ISIS. Read my plan here: crsn.co\/DefeatISIS<\/p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realbencarson\/\">Dr. Ben Carson<\/a> on Wednesday, January 27, 2016<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The past seven years have seen increasing incidences of terrorism around the world, from the emergence of the Islamic State to the revitalization of the Taliban. Attacks in San Bernardino and Paris highlight the Obama administration\u2019s failure to implement a coherent response to radical Islamic terrorism around the globe. Dr. Carson\u2019s plan will engage terrorist ideology and strategy head on, recognizing the nature of the enemy this country faces, targeting the threat at its source and protecting the American way of life.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, the Carson plan identifies the nature of the threat: a radical ideology that seeks to violently impose Islam on others and supplant existing cultures and duly constituted governments around the world. Dr. Carson\u2019s strategy recognizes the reality of global jihadist movements, and counters terrorism not only militarily, but also diplomatically, economically and politically. His plan will defeat the Islamic State, both in Iraq and Syria, as well as in northern Africa where it seeks to gain a new stronghold. Dr. Carson\u2019s plan also calls for waging war against the radical Islamic terror movement as a whole, and outlines a unified national response to this grotesque and violent ideology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA President\u2019s most sacred obligation is to protect this great nation from every threat, both foreign and domestic,\u201d said Dr. Carson. \u201cToday, radical Islamic terrorism threatens our very existence. Whether through direct violent attacks or \u2018civilizational jihad,\u2019 radical Muslim terrorists wish to destroy America, her allies and her principals. Seven years of failed leadership against this threat has left us more vulnerable than ever. As President, I will unify the national will to confront radical Islamic terrorism in all of its forms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandria, Va. &#8211; January 27, 2016 &#8211; Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, today released his plan to defeat the Islamic State and the larger threat of radical Islamic terror.
