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.

DH”S” released felons and rapists, and kept
the Islamic terror connection-deep sixed.

WHOSE SIDE WAS DH”S” ON, anyway?

Not the side of the American taxpayer and citizen.
NOT A CHANCE.

“We must speak with honor and respect about all communities within the United States,”
= = =

I would like you to honor and respect my community.

Even though it has some white people in it, and some Christians in it, and some employed self-supporting people in it.

In other words, nothing has changed and they should go on pretending that Islam is a religion of peace.

“Officials should not use the word “jihad.” Officials should not use the word “sharia.”

Muslims use these terms constantly...but it’s sorta like the situation whereby only blacks can use the ‘N’ word; commoners can’t.

Muslims are offensive to the marrow. They are idiots, they smell, they have stupid ideas. That hate you, me and every other normal human being on the planet. They get pissed off if you draw a cartoon unflattering to their stupid founder. They get pissed off about bacon. Muslims get offended like you and I take a dump. Muslim DESERVE to be offended. They are people who do not deserve respect.

And the AG announces the transcript of the terrorist’s 911 call will NOT include his pledge to ISIS....

Who told these idiots that “offending them” contributes to the problem?

Until people state the obvious, that the most official versions of Islam are also the evilest ones, there isn’t going to be a lot of progress.

And yet they’re not afraid to be frank if some kook does something wicked “for the sake of Jesus.”

Obama’s entire administration is made up of Muslims. Why would anyone be surprised. The RINO GOP consented to all of this too. Maybe they think they will be the last to be beheaded.

Jihad is a pillar of Islam. No Jihad -> No Islam. It’s totally necessary to get Americans comfortable with seeing Jihad, Uh, as a word, just a word.
