The Department of Homeland Security is fully on board with the policy of the Obama administration of let’s pretend that Islamic terrorism does not exist:
A new Department of Homeland Security report urges rejecting use of Islamic terms such as “jihad” and “sharia” in programs aimed at countering terrorist radicalization among American youth.
The Homeland Security Advisory Council report recommends that the department focus on American milliennials by allocating up to $100 million in new funding. It also urges greater private sector cooperation, including with Muslim communities, to counter what is described as a “new generation of threats to the Homeland related to the threat of violent extremism.”
The funds would be used for hiring experts and new social media programs and technology to influence young people not to join terror groups.
“The department’s CVE efforts are an attempt to protect our nation’s young people from extremists who prey upon the Millennial generation,” the report says.
“The department must reframe the conversation to reflect this reality and design a robust program around the protection of our youth, which must include predator awareness and an understanding of radicalization. In doing so, our citizens will be better equipped for this threat.”
Under the section on terminology, the report calls for rejecting use of an “us versus them” mentality by shunning Islamic language in “Countering Violent Extremism” programs, or CVE, the Obama administration’s euphemism that seeks to avoid references to Islam.
Under a section on recommended actions on terminology, the report says DHS should “reject religiously-charged terminology and problematic positioning by using plain meaning American English.”
Government agencies should employ “American English instead of religious, legal and cultural terms like ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir’ or ‘umma,’” states the June 2016 report by the Council’s countering violent extremism subcommittee.
Go here to read the rest. How can you successfully fight something when you won’t even name it? We are led by fools and worse.

Could you imagine FDR’s administration saying; “We must be sensitive to the Nazis expression of identity and ideology.”
Words like; anti-Semitism, racial hygiene, Master Race are not appropriate when connected to a national socialist program.
Not acknowledging who the enemy is and hiding behind a failed political correctness agenda is treason! Obama is a cancer.
The Alinskyites are fundamentally transforming America into the Balkans: blood feuds, class war, destitution, dependency, religious warfare.

Waving the bloody shirt, they exploit increasingly frequent Islamic massacres to attack American Liberties: free speech, the right to bear arms, . . .
.
It is almost as bad as Orwell imagined. But, they’re working on it.

You no longer live in a free country. This is the reason they are intent on confiscating all Americans’ guns.

Let’s pretend that Obama doesn’t exist. You need to resist in any way you can.
This administration isn’t serious about protecting Americans from Islamist terror.
It doesn’t serve the left’s agendas to do so. As T. Shaw said in his post above,
dead and maimed Americans become a useful bloody shirt to wave, a
crisis to exploit.
.
The left wants to eliminate the Second Amendment, and each time a mass
shooting is allowed to happen, gun control gains a bit of traction. Censorship
and penalizing “hate speech” are made to seem justifiable each time a
mass shooting is allowed. Increasing government intrusion and surveillance
of ordinary citizens is made to seem necessary each time a mass shooting
is allowed. Dead, those folks in Orlando are much more useful to our present
rulers than they ever were alive. As T. Shaw put it above, they’ve become
a bloody shirt to wave, a tool to advance an agenda.

We’ll never see this administration do anything substantive about our wide-
open borders or our conspicuous lack of screening of our ever-increasing
flood of ‘refugees’. Agencies like the FBI will continue to be hamstrung by
idiotic PC measures like the DHS policy described in this Freebeacon article.
This administration isn’t serious about combating terror at home because
instances of terror are too useful politically. The Orlando shooter had
telegraphed his intentions for a very long time, was on several lists as a
person of interest, and yet he was left alone to kill. The next time this
administration needs a bloody shirt to wave, it needs only sit on its thumbs
like it did with Orlando and let another shooter drop another sweet crisis
in its lap.
.
DHS has got bigger fish to fry –that elusive phantasm called right wing extremism, for example.
.
Hey! Just because it doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean they have to stop seeking it out!
Our American English is the product of our melting pot or cultural blending – the request not to use foreign words seems like a throwback to some of the nativist and know nothing, isolationist responses of the past.
That’s irony
