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.

When does the murder of innocents non-Muslims rise to the level of offensive?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST, ONYX.
PRAY FOR AMERICA...NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO ASHAMED OF THIS NATION...NEVER HAVE I FEARED SO MUCH, DAILY.
Stay safe and well.
Star Trek says you’re wrong there, Jug Ear’d bastard.
His mother thought that name up in the baffroom.
B.Hussein obama, Hillary Benghazi, or The Donald?
She sure is a total butt ki$$er.. hurry up November, get here and wake this NATION up.
His name is JED not Jeb. forgive my typo error...
I can’t wait to hear President Trump say You’re Fired!
That’s like fighting bank robbers by not chasing after their getaway car.
Jeh is another Columbia U minion. Like Hussein.
Breeding ground for Marxist-socialists.
The Frankfurt School infiltrated it (they’re a big part of America’s downfall).
Look at who’s who from Columbia U.
the DHS is run by Islam ,need anymore proof
Fourth Generation War Comes To America: What Are You Going To Do About It?
Why because all terrorists are muslims?!!!
It’s over guys. Remember the uproar in the 90s over cable TV rates? The firestorm over rising ATM fees?
None of this Muslim stuff generates widespread outrage compared to those trivial matters. A tiny percentage care. Now if there was an all day Facebook service outage, then you’d see some outrage.
Imam Obamullah, DHS, the FBI, and law enforcement... everyone who was contacted and warned about this murderous Muslim and did NOTHING, THEY are responsible, THEY have the blood of all of these victims on their hands! They were given numerous opportunities to arrest him along with his wife but they did NOTHING. The problem isn’t guns, it’s Muslims and the unwillingness of the administration, DHS, the FBI and the CIA to deal with the root problem.
Is raghead ok?
How about goatf****r?
Sounds like Jeh Johnson’s hand was on the trigger to me.
