RANCHO MIRAGE, California (AP) — A White House summit this week on countering violent extremism will not focus exclusively on threats from the Islamic State group, senior administration officials said Monday.

While the militant group, which has killed several Americans and others it had been holding hostage, poses a near-term threat to the United States, one of three officials previewing the summit for reporters on Monday said violent extremists "come in all shapes and sizes."

The three-day conference will highlight both domestic and international efforts to prevent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting and inspiring others, particularly disaffected young people. The conference is looking at ways to prevent extremists from carrying out violent acts, such as the spate of events that took place in Denmark, France, Canada and Australia in recent weeks and months.

Too bad they couldn't just have a beer summit.

But No.

Climate Change remains the pressing issue.

The real enemy of this administration is the Little Sisters of the Poor.

It may not be their war against Islam — but it sure a he|| is Islam’s war against them.

A summit on terror that will not focus only on Muslim/Islamic extremist terror -— it will be a very short summit.

Yeah, I knew I wasn’t the only one who figured out what their lingo really meant. KUDOS TO YOU.

When Psaki would not say Islamic terrorists, or even terrorists, but would only use .. “violent extremists come in all shapes and sizes” .. she also said “both domestic and international ... extremists”. Again relaying the info that they intend to pursue the Tea Party.

I guess they have to stop using the IRS .. now that they’ve been caught .. and ALLLLLLLLL OF THE EMAILS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED .. it will have to be some other agency who takes up the mantle of “domestic terrorists”.

I seriously want to see these people go to jail for all of this conniving and harassment from this government. That’s probably not going to happen .. but they, at the very least, need to be kept out of OUR GOVERNMENT FOREVER.

Don’t forget...

The ass hat in the Sydney event was a member of HuT and also claimed sympathies with IS.

What do they both have in common?
No, not terror, but their desire for a global caliphate by any means necessary. Look at the goal, not just the actions.

Typical liberals. Instead of just accepting that these radical Islamic terrorists are just that, radical evil muslim barbaric butchers, and that they need to be exterminated to stop them, they want to delve into the social injustice of their environment and upbringings to see why they decided to go into the beheading business instead of say, the bakery business. They have this need to “understand” why these murderers are murderers for some reason.

Goes back to the earliest days of this administration when they discussed returning vets as possibly becoming terrorists.
