Ryan Mauro is the national security analyst and Shillman Fellow for the Clarion Project. This article was written with the assistance of Campus Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum.

There were three types of spin that are worth pointing out, as they are continually used by the Islamists and their apologists whenever they and their ideology come under scrutiny.

It’s the best political example of projection if there ever was one. Other…
