DHS report before Orlando massacre: Don’t offend Muslims while combating extremism
Washington Times ^ | June 14, 2016 | Douglas Ernst

Posted on 06/19/2016 5:41:41 PM PDT by grundle

A report by the Homeland Security Advisory Council released days before the Islamic terror attack in Orlando, Florida, stressed the importance of combating extremism by avoiding terms that might offend Muslims.

A HSAC subcommittee first created by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson in 2015 published its report on June 9.

Some instructions found in the report include:

Officials should not use the word “jihad.” Officials should not use the word “sharia.” Officials should not use the word “takfir,” which is done when one Muslim accuses another of apostasy. Officials are instructed to “reject religiously-charged terminology and problematic positioning by using plain meaning American English.”

“We must speak with honor and respect about all communities within the United States,” the Daily Caller reported Tuesday. “We should give dignity to the many histories and diversities within our nation and advocate for a consistent whole of government approach that utilizes agreed terms and words. Tone and word choice matter.”

Security guard Omar Mateen, 29, killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others early Sunday at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. The attack ended when a SWAT team stormed the club and killed Mateen.

Trump’s job to “Make America Great Again” is going to be really difficult. If he doesn’t root out all the leftist lifers at every level of government, he won’t make any progress at all. This BS runs deep in our government.

He should probably require loyalty oaths from all who want to keep their jobs.

Correct. And Congress must expose the true extent of the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the Fed. Gov. And declare the Muslim Brotherhood to be the Terrorist organization that it is clear they are.

Some spiritualize away this concept, that it only has to do with struggle against evil... but we have a problem in that the METHODS prescribed are frequently antisocial.

The best resistance to this will have to come from a new gospel consciousness. We need to know gold well before we can spot the pyrite.

Officials should not use the word “jihad.” Officials should not use the word “sharia.” Muslims use these terms constantly...

Why does this remind me of Klingon...?

So, it’s okay for the bastards to “offend” us but we shouldn’t “offend” them? KMA.

Muslims themselves will have to be “offended at extremism” before they will move away from it.

The potential for “extremism” is always there in that religion, however blessedly sometimes plain old good sense kicks in and practitioners choose not to plunge into the deep end of the hell pool.

I have sometimes wondered if I could get an EBT card.

It might help balance out the taxes I pay (and which are wasted on such as EBT, etc.).

Just mental pondering ... until they chip my brain and/or feed me the purple pill.

Why am I reminded of the Saturday Night Live word association skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor?

Caliphate
                 Infidel
Sharia
                 Kafir
Jihad
                 Dead Kafir

Trusting DHS when they can't say these words would be like trusting an oncologist who couldn't say "Cancer".
