Steve Bannon is making headlines — but not where you might think.

The White House Chief strategist and former Breitbart chairman took front page billing — above the fold — in a recent edition of Al Masra. The newspaper is aligned with the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.

Far from an excoriation, the publication came out in support of Bannon’s view that Islam and western civilization were locked in an existential conflict and cited what they said was Bannon’s belief that “the forces of Islam cannot be stopped by peaceful means.”

“The fact that [Al Masra] would put this so prominently on the front page—as lead article—indicates it has traction, that this is a way to win support.” Elisabeth Kendall a University of Oxford senior research fellow of Arabic and Islamic studies told Quartz. “It plays entirely into their narrative that they were right about the West’s war on Islam all along.”
