Veteran journalist Ted Koppel told Sean Hannity that he is "bad for America" because his show prioritizes ideology over facts.

National security expert Sebastian Gorka argues that the term "lone wolf" is a misnomer designed to disconnect individual acts of violence from a broader ideological movement. He claims attackers are linked by the connective tissue of global jihadi ideology rather than acting in total isolation.

President Obama's speech regarding ISIL is deconstructed, specifically his claim that the group has "no ideology" while simultaneously stating they kill people for their religious practices.
