Obama’s Head In The Sand On Radical Islam

Written by , Posted in Foreign Affairs & Policy

This is absurd even for the Obama regime:

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 revisions are part of a larger effort about which the White House talks openly, one that seeks to change not just how the United States talks to Muslim nations, but also what it talks to them about, from health care and science to business startups and education.

It’s one thing to disagree about the severity of the threat posed by radical Islamic Jihad or about the appropriate policy response. It’s another thing entirely to allow one’s silly PC ideology to overwhelm reality. You cannot effectively combat that which you refuse to admit exists. And radical Islamic Jihad most certainly exists.

Eagerly awaiting the chance to talk to Obama about health care
