The Obama administration has introduced a new official policy banning the word "Islam" in describing America's terrorist enemies. The administration’s recently released National Security Strategy defines the enemy as “al-Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates”.
However, leading experts warn that failure to realize the Islamic component in terrorist acts is severely detrimental. In addition, such a policy is in contrast to the Top Afghan Commander General Petraeus’s counterinsurgency manual. In the manual, co-authored by General James Amos, it refers to "Islamic insurgents," "Islamic extremists" and "Islamic subversives." It also describes the various ties between Muslim support groups and terrorists.
In addition a recent policy report published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy titled “Fighting the Ideological Battle: The Missing Link in U.S. Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism” makes the case that al-Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates are not the most dangerous enemy, but instead it is “the extremist ideology that fuels and supports Islamist violence.”
It is not hard to see what is going on. The White House is under the impression that it needs to remove any “derogatory” remarks about the religion of Islam from its official vocabulary. They are attempting to create newspeak (as in George Orwell’s 1984). Obama thinks that this sort of pandering to the Islamic community will help improve U.S. relations with Muslim countries as well as remove recruiting propaganda from terrorist organizations.
The Washington Institute’s report stresses that it is imperative that the administration identifies Islamism as the “key ideological driver” responsible for terrorist activity across the globe. The report urges a policy that is tailored to combat not just the terrorist groups but the ideology itself...

FUBO
“Is” is a bad word.....confusing too....Bill Clinton
That policy IS LAMe.
Opps!
If you can’t muster the courage to name your enemy, you can hardly defeat him.
This is like saying if the word ‘Nazi’ had been banned, WWII wouldn’t have happened. Obama’s unfitness for his job continues to shine through.
What else can we expect from the muslim extremist in the White House who is systematically engineering the destruction of our country.

Time for some derisive chanting.
The Religion Of Pieces Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken
So.....radical Islam no longer exists? I’m sure glad to hear we got rid of them. Guess we have nothing to worry about now. Bunch of fools in Washington.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
And when it becomes obvious that this makes no difference to the terrorists, then what?
Pres_ _ent Obama’s John Brennan:"Jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam"
Well, even Bush said Islam is a religion of peace and steadfastly refused to identify Sunni Wahhabism and Pakistani Deobandism as the chief sources of Sunni Jihad.
And Jihadis have another chuckle at America.
When you are one, mac daddy, you must protect their image.
The story isn’t on the link you provided but it’s on the Washington Times site.
“The administration’s recently released National Security Strategy ....”
It’s about time. This was LAWFULLY DUE almost two years ago.
Of course, silly of me to expect the present administration to follow the law.
