Homeland Security Instructed To Combat Violent Extremism With Political Correctness

Less than a week before Omar Mateen walked into an Orlando gay club and killed or wounded more than 100 people, the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) submitted its Countering Violent Extremism report to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson. The report instructs the DHS not to use any language that might be “disrespectful” to Muslims, including (but not limited to) the words “jihad,” “sharia” and “takfir.”

The report was crafted by an HSAC subcommittee that Secretary Johnson created in November 2015. The head of that subcommittee, Farah Pandith, was appointed by Johnson in May 2015. The subcommittee published the report on June 9.

In addition to combating violent extremism by reaching out to “gender diverse” Americans and teaching youth “appropriate online etiquette,” the report recommends that the DHS “avoid stigmatizing specific communities.”

The report urges DHS officials to “Reject religiously-charged terminology and problematic positioning by using plain meaning American English.”

Gee, that sounds consistent with the other recommendation (last line of your extract): 'The report urges DHS officials to “Reject religiously-charged terminology and problematic positioning by using plain meaning American English.” '

Can't get much plainer than focusing on gender diversity push/push factors in combatting Islamic terrorism, can we? /S

“Extremism” is a term used by political totalitarians who want to lump conservatives in with radical islamists.

This is a political ‘enemies list’ with thug control behind it.

not to use any language that might be “disrespectful” to Muslims,

if we are nice to them they will stop trying to hurt us + the best way to deal with a problem is to ignore it and hope it will go away by itself = principles for losers

The arch-Idiot, obama, continues to do his utmost to abet the gelding of any and all organizations whose task it is to defend the American population.

He’s the best and most effective agent al-Qaeda ever had.

From the Department of Homeland Suicide:

The report includes other recommendations for countering violent extremism, such as: “Focus on gender diversity of youth through careful attention to the range of push and pull factors that attract individuals of differing gender.”

Yes, who could fail to see that focusing on gender diversity is one of the most important elements for countering violent extremism?

Thanks for the ping.
