Exclusive: Trump to focus counter-extremism program solely on Islam - sources
reuters ^ | Feb 2, 2017 | Julia Edwards Ainsley, Dustin Volz and Kristina Cooke | WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO

The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.

The real story is that Obama diverted agencies and programs from focusing on radical Islam, hamstrung the FBI, etc.

“white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States”

Anybody know where there might be a list of such incidents?

Don't bother linking to the Reuters propaganda. It was very weak BS - viewer discretion advised! But I do recommend the Monty Python link. HA!

Well, Dylann Roof. And he’ll probably be cited for at least twenty or thirty years, the same as Timothy McVeigh.

If you count heads of state, Castro, Maduro and Kim Jong-Il come to mind.

I remember when I worked for the Fed Govt when Obama came in. The pamphlets being sent around and we were briefed on number one threat was the radical right wing and to look out for those who talked about the constitution. Then the IRS started auditing. We were told we could not read Wikileaks. It freaked me out. The Obama admin put an all out assault on conservatives.

Considering that Muslims diddle little boys, rape children, cut the head off babies, all justified by the rules and practice set down by Mohammed, I have no problem with this.

This is an important action to reverse Obama’s pro-terrorism (and attempt to implement blasphemy laws) slant in the DHS, among other agencies.

Similar thread:

Trump to make radical Islam focus of Obama anti-extremism program: Report

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3520281/posts

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 supremacist

Further explanation of this - see post in comment section and #15 (Mr. Coughlin tells that we are witnessing the implementation of blasphemy laws.)
