Obama Bans Islam, Jihad From National Security Strategy Document
Fox News ^ | 4/7/2010 | Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's advisers will remove religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy and will use the rewritten document to emphasize that the United States does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terror, counterterrorism officials said.

The change is a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war and currently states: "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

The officials described the changes on condition of anonymity because the document still was being written, and the White House would not discuss it. But rewriting the strategy document will be the latest example of Obama putting his stamp on U.S. foreign policy, like his promises to dismantle nuclear weapons and limit the situations in which they can be used.

I used to be skeptical that he -is- a Moslem.

This pattern can no longer be ignored however.

So, will all references to right wing extremism remain?

Of course tea party, U. S. Armed Forces, conservative, pro second amendment, etc. will be included in the strategy. I stand by my tagline and direct it to the current administration.

Obama also banned the word “bad” and in substitution, demands “right wing”, “christian”, “Tea Party”, “Folks”, “Police”, “John”, “Wannabe plumber” or “coal industry” be used.

This guy is far worse than I could ever imagined. He is a complete disaster. We must take over congress in 2010 to stop this guy. We must get him out in 2012 if not sooner.

Obama is the US’s number one enemy at this point. His war on all of us Americans is quite clear, isn’t it?

"President Barack Obama's advisers will remove religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy"

Probably to be replaced with "Christian and Conservative extremism".

If I thought it would make any difference, he could refer to them as the Sugar Plum Fairies or Smurfs, but so far it isn't having much impact on the over zealous adherents to the concept of Jihad or concepts of similar nature WHEREVER they may be. If it gives our president a warm, fuzzy feeling to write “words” on paper, far be it from me to deny him what little comfort he has in his current position.

I am the strongest proponent of pouring oil on the waters to calm them — I take “Blessed are the peacemakers” to a fine art. Unfortunately, my attempts to negotiate the bumpy patches in the road of life have been met by an on-coming 18 wheeler, fully loaded, going 60 MPH most of the time. I suspect our president will meet the same fate, but since we've managed to bungle everything else in the country, why not give it a try?

Would you use an accountant who got queasy about saying "tax"?

Would you trust an exterminator who wouldn't mention "termites"?

Would you go to an oncologist who refused to say the word "cancer"?

Then why do we have a president who won't mention Islam when fighting against their worldwide jihad against everything non-Islamic?

I’m half way through Rove’s book,”Courage and Consequence”.The chapter relating to 9-11 is incredibly moving.The problem that I am encountering-How did an American public so united ,at that time,against terrorists/Islamic extremists elect a man for president ,who so obviously flaunts his leanings to that religion and shows such flagrant favoritism to his Muslim buddies!!!
