Liberal AP refuses to use the word "Islamic terror."

Why so the same internet police don't come for me as they will you & the other "we" for saying islamic terror?? OyE VaY!!!!
so... there is no problem with salafi jihadi? It's not what WE say -it's what the analysts and the FBI are restricted to use.
 
Yup, I think it was in Obama's first term they purged the FBI training manuals of certain religious references---even as we are engaged with 'radical extremists' who are guided by religious principles that have nothing to do with Catholicism.

It's insane. Literally.

But Gohmert is wrong to suggest the current administration had anything to do with the language. The lexicon was published by the FBI in early 2008 — a year before Obama became president. Indeed, the Bush administration emphasized the need to avoid such terms as “jihadist” or “Muslim” in its Guide for Counterterrorism Communication.
Kimberly Willingham, a spokeswoman for Gohmert, declined to respond to specific questions, including the contradiction about when the lexicon was published or the fact that FBI intelligence documents still refer to “jihad” and other terms that he claims have been banned. “Unless the FBI will show you the purged training with purge notations that the congressman has seen, there is nothing further to discuss,” she said.

The Pinocchio Test
...while Gohmert has the right to jump to conclusions, he has no right to invent his own facts.

As always, the burden of proof rests with the speaker, and nothing Gohmert has said or shown demonstrates that FBI investigators have been hampered because training documents were scrubbed to remove material considered offensive to Muslim or ethnic groups. Moreover, Gohmert’s central document in his case against the Obama White House — the so-called lexicon — was produced by the Bush administration. That further undercuts his credibility. We are open to altering this ruling if more evidence is provided, but for now this looks as big a whopper as his claim that “members” of the Muslim Brotherhood have populated the administration.

The left scoffs at that. But could you imagine a 1940's government policy to not name Nazis? And calling them Germanic extremists instead? It's ridiculous.

The justification for not saying radical Islam is dragging Islam into it would give the radical extremists a propaganda coup insofar as they want a religious war.

Well, News Flash: They are bringing *their* religious war to us regardless of which ridiculous euphemism we choose to assign to it.

While you gave a justification for not saying the phrase "Islamic terror", you didn't say specifically what would happen if the gov suddenly started to use it.

And Nazis did refer to themselves as Nazis even though it wasn't common.

The point is we didn't go out of our way to not call Nazis what they were.

A gave the justification for not saying radical Islam but didn't bother with how lame the justification is. Do you really think jihadists care what we call them?

The war is going to be religious for them no matter what we say or do.
 
so... there is no problem with salafi jihadi? It's not what WE say -it's what the analysts and the FBI are restricted to use.

What they choose to call islamic terror is whatever they choose to call it-it aint "we", it's them.. PPl here & on the street corner can call it whatever we want...

I know you are very familiar w/ why they avoid saying it, why do you disagree w/ that??

They have been screwing this up since the beginning..

NO..... I do think the more it can be twisted to mean Islam the more they do care~like it.. So they can make it not just an attack/war/"crusade" against them but a war on Islam......... Good we have a true believer here like yourself to break that down...:D
 
The AP is has joined Obama in refusing to utter the words Islamic terror, instead calling the attacks in the Philippines "Abu Sayyaf extremists." :rofl2:

So the guy is Islamic, he's killing in the name of Alah, he's part of an Islamic terror organization, but we can't actually use the words Islamic Extremism when we talk about what they do? See how retarded libtardism is?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/philippine-blast-leaves-10-dead-several-wounded-market-170420169.html

It's more than libtardism. It's Islamism, and in some cases, full-blown complicity, > jihadism.

The group first began referring to itself as the Islamic State (الدولة الإسلامية ad-Dawlah al-Islāmiyah) or IS in June 2014
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant
++

calling them Da'ish ( daesh) seems to be the best. They hate it, it's insulting, and it mocks their claim as "Islamic State".
But there has to be some ties to "radical Islam" ( sic) -after all that is what the phenomena is.

It's surely not "violent extremists" -I could say the same about Westboro Baptists-it loses all specificity of meaning.

That post somewhat resembles your sig pic lol.

They either care or they don't and I picked my option: they don't care. It's not like jihadist recruiters are lacking for recruitment material. In fact, their primary source is the Koran and Hadith.

Only *after* an individual is radicalized would they be further persuaded by the prospect of the Great Satan declaring war on Islam.

By then, the damage is already done. By then, they are ready to kill and die for Islam. Nothing we say will change that either way.
 
No but it would show we aren't cowards and don't kowtow to Islamic Extremism.

Further it would allow people to see the red flags when they go up, and connect the dots. Not be too afraid to call 911 when they see their muslim neighbor stockpiling ARs. Like 19 Islamic men boarding aircraft with box cutters and 1 way tickets. If airport security didn't have their PC heads in the sand, they would have pulled them for further questioning.


ROFL!!

So the people are afraid to call 911 because Obama refuses to say "Islamic terror"?

Really??!??
 
Let's say Obama uses that term the very next time he speaks. You think there will be a sharply-indrawn breath throughout the Muslim world and they'll all be chastened enough to lay down their weapons immediately?

What SPECIFICALLY do you think will occur? And I'm not talking about the non-sequiturs and fluff that passes for intelligence on right-wing websites. Crap like "if you can't even identify the enemy correctly how can you defeat it blah blah blah...."

That's it EXACTLY!!

All President Obama has to do to stop Islamic terrorism is to utter the phrase "Islamic terror" and all our problems will magically go away.

There has been a "war on Islam" since 622 AD. It is a defensive war against the offensive war that has been waged by Muslim marauders who, based on the genocidal commands of the Koran, have conquered more land than the Roman empire at its height, and have mass murdered 270 million people around the globe. 120 Million Africans. 80 Million Hindus. 60 Million Christians. 10 Million Buddhists. and the nutjobs are still at it, on every continent on earth except Antarctica.

If anyone wants to know the cause of this worst scourge in world history, all they need do is read the Koran. It is mass murder genocide from cover to cover, in addition to a litany of violation of US law and culture. If there ever was a group who was unfit to live in western society, it is these uncivilized, barbaric savages.
 
That's it EXACTLY!!

Uttering cute, little silly notions do nothing much. Obama's refusals to say "Islamic terror" are just simply an identification of him as the Islamist, jihad sympathizer, traitor to America that he is. That's all. In practical terms, once he's out of office, and Trump is in, he could be tied for treason, convicted, and executed. He's done far worse stuff than Saddam Hussein ever did.
