(CNSNews.com) – In the aftermath of the Orlando terrorist attack, the vast majority of House Republicans voted in favor of legislation designed to enhance efforts to combat “violent extremism,” but one of the three who voted against it, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, said he did so because it fails to identify “radical Islam” as the problem.

“It never mentions the term ‘radical Islam,’ and after the Orlando shooting, we have an obligation when the administration won’t call it what it is, to start calling it what it is,” he said on the House floor on Thursday.

GOP leaders hailed the Countering Terrorist Radicalization Act (H.R. 5471), with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy saying in a statement the House had “moved quickly and aggressively on legislation that will better protect our communities and the homeland.”

There are very few patriots left among our lawmakers.

We all know what 0bama's version of “countering violent extremism” is.

It's you and I!

[butlerweave]

radical Islam and Islam = same thing

[MUDDOG]

Religion of love.

If you’re going, to San FranMecca...

Radical Islam is just plain Islam. Those Muslims who do not support Sharia and wage Jihad are considered apostates, as deserving of death as we Infidels.

Exactly!!

Any anti terrorist legislation must be generic enough to include white, Christian, US Citizens while also NOT including Muslims. It takes time to carefully craft such highly engineered legalese.

Thanks, Louie Louie. Congressman Obvious.

This crap they are passing isn’t going to help anything. The problem is Islam and too many muslims in the US.

[Kickass Conservative]

Our Government does not Protect us, they spend their time taking away our Right to Protect ourselves.

[drypowder]

the anti-terror bill is not about controlling muslims from murdering American citizens, it's about disarming and controlling American citizens from organizing to defend themselves against muslims and to retake control of the federal government. Louie, et al knows this but no one in DC will say it.

That's because there is no Radical Islam there is just Islam
and 0bama is protecting Islam.

I do not like the term radical islam. As an engineer I always strive to make any system I work with as efficient as possible, and I find the word “radical” to be excessively redundant

[The Great RJ]

Obama’s Muslim roots will not allow him to acknowledge Islamic terrorism and he has to construct the ridiculous term violent extremism. It is abundantly clear who is attacking us and it is radical Islam.

[vpintheak]

Yeah. It should simply say islam. Islam is a war plan after all.
