Trump to make radical Islam focus of Obama anti-extremism program: Report
Washington Times ^ | 2/1/17 | Victor Morton

Posted on 02/01/2017 5:29:17 PM PST by markomalley

President Trump will reportedly make good on one of his major critiques of the Obama administration by refocusing the program “Countering Violent Extremism” to concentrate on radical Islam.

Citing “five people briefed on the matter,” Reuters news agency reported Wednesday that the “CVE” program would be changed to “Countering Islamic Extremism” or “Countering Radical Islamic Extremism.”

The program would no longer have as a priority target groups such as white supremacists, Reuters reported. Mr. Trump, and many other Republicans, frequently attacked the program as a politically-correct whitewash growing out of the Obama administration’s refusal to use any form of the word “Islam” in describing the Islamic State and other Islamist terror groups.

“Countering Violent Extremism” were always leftist code-words for attacking us conservatives.

Stop Jihad Now!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to the past CIA Director it is a legitimate tenet of Islam.

In fact it is inseparable from Islam.

There is no moderate Koran that does not call for the subjugation, conversion or killing of everyone on earth.
There is only one Koran and it makes jihad an obligation of every muslim.
It tells them they must continue jihad until there is only Islam. That there can be no peace as long as there are infidels who do not submit.
Mad Mo made it so.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

MORE Americans have to be killed by Muslims before the average dumba$$ American will get it: ALL Muslims are commanded to kill infidels. Some do, some don't.
