The civilized world is still reeling from Wednesday's brutal attack against the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo by gunmen seeking revenge for cartoons attacking Islam. Nevertheless, Breitbart.com reported Thursday, the White House announced it would make fighting Islamophobia a priority.
"Never mind that most Westerners aren’t Islamophobic, but rather GettingShotInTheFaceForExpressingMyOpinion-Phobic," Ben Shapiro wrote. Speaking with reporters, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the real problem is lack of leadership in defending Islam.

And we’re going to redouble those efforts in the days and weeks ahead."(continued)

Sad that our 3 & 4 stars are all political appointments by law. We don’t use the military to fight wars, we use them in “police actions”, “nation building”, “meals-on-wheels”, “hearts and minds”, etc.
She was 100% right. Too few were willing to admit it.
