"The Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups have claimed are offensive."
How can Obama impose, enforce the blasphemy laws of the sharia (do not criticize, offend of speak truthfully about Islam) and order the killing of Imam Awlaki? Think about that.
Awlaki did not kill anyone. Awlaki was a devout imam who preached the word of the quran.

Banning religious motivation, Islam and jihad has been a cornerstone of this national security policy (i.e. Obama Bans Islam, Jihad From National Security Strategy Document, April 2010) but Obama orders the executions of those proselytizing and advancing pure Islam, authentic Islam.
What is this policy? Perhaps he prefers the stealth jihad, and the violent jihad only calls attention to the true nature of Islamic law. Incoherent is a best case scenario explanation on this, but I do not believe that.
On foreign policy, he has aided and abetted the overthrow of secular governments. Libya, like Tunisia and Egypt, is heading toward becoming an Islamic state. His anti-Israel policies have led to the increased isolation of the tiny Jewish state, making it a ripe target for Islamic imperialists and devout Muslims.
Obama administration pulls references to Islam from terror training materials, official says Yahoo
Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole confirmed on Wednesday that the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive.
“I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security,” Cole told a panel at the George Washington University law school.
The move comes after complaints from advocacy organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others identified as Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror fundraising trial.
In a Wednesday Los Angeles Times op-ed, Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) president Salam al-Marayati threatened the FBI with a total cutoff of cooperation between American Muslims and law enforcement if the agency failed to revise its law enforcement training materials.
Maintaining the training materials in their current state “will undermine the relationship between law enforcement and the Muslim American community,” al-Marayati wrote.
Multiple online sources detail MPAC’s close alignment with CAIR.
In his op-ed, Al-Marayati demanded that the Justice Department and the FBI “issue a clear and unequivocal apology to the Muslim American community” and “establish a thorough and transparent vetting process in selecting its trainers and materials.”
Specifically, al-Marayati called for a new “interagency task force” to review the training materials — a task force including representatives of the Islamist organizations the FBI is tasked with monitoring.
Some believe the Obama administration’s Justice Department will go even further.
“The Attorney General has announced what sounds like reprogramming if they find people who have actually received training” that Islamist groups find objectionable, Center for Security Policy president Frank Gaffney told The Daily Caller. Gaffney is co-author of a report, published by the Center, titled “Sharia: The Threat to America.”
Dwight C. Holton, the U.S. Attorney in Oregon said he had spoken with Holder directly about the issue of the terror training materials. Holton is the federal prosecutor who announced the arrest of so-called “Christmas tree bomber” Mohamed Osman Mohamud in 2010. That announcement made no mention of Mohamud’s Muslim faith.
“I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for,” Holton said Wednesday. “They will not be tolerated.”
Such training materials “pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam,” he added.
In a Sept. 12 letter to White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan in September, Democratic Senate Homeland Security committee chair Joe Lieberman and ranking Republican member Susan Collins called for “meaningful standards” to govern counterterrorism training materials.
“Proper training about violent Islamist extremism is absolutely essential for our law enforcement personnel in order to empower them to identify and understand this grave threat, and then protect the American people from it,” the senators wrote. “Part of this training must be an understanding of the clear and profound difference between Islamist extremism, which is a totalitarian political ideology that is at war with us, and Islam, which is a religion practiced by more than a billion people around the world, including millions of law-abiding and loyal Americans.”
FBI analyst William Gawthrup is one of several experts on Islam whose training materials arouse the ire of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups. At the beginning of a videotaped presentation showing one of his training modules, Gawthrup makes exactly the same distinction demanded by Sen. Lieberman. The video was published online in June.
“Understand that what we are going to be doing is looking at Islam as an ideology, not as a religion,” Gawthrup says in the video.
“What’s the difference? Religion is man’s relationship to his deity. In the United States, we protect it under the first amendment. We’re going to set it aside. We are not going to discuss religion. We are going to discuss Islam as an ideology — man’s relationship to other men.”
UPDATE: More ….
Islam content spurs FBI review of anti-terror training By Shaun Waterman, Washington Times
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a congressional hearing on Thursday that the bureau is conducting a review of training programs after disclosure of materials that equated devout Muslims with a greater propensity for violent extremism.
Mr. Mueller said that one part of the training program disclosed in a press account was “inappropriate and offensive,” but that the session was a “one-off” and not likely to be repeated.
“We have undertaken a review from top to bottom of our counterterrorism training,” Mr. Mueller said. “I think these are isolated incidents, and in the course of that review, we’ve had outreach to academicians and others to assist us in reviewing the materials and assuring that that offensive content does not appear.”
The comments came in response to questions from Rep. Janice D. Schakowsky, Illinois Democrat, during a hearing before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, about leaked training materials from an FBI training session at its institute in Quantico, Va., in March.
The exchange prompted charges that Mr. Mueller was knuckling under to political correctness aimed at muzzling critics of Islam.
The materials, Mrs. Schakowsky said, stated of Muslims that “the more religious they get, the more violent they are And I understand that there’s been training [sessions] where the Prophet Muhammad has actually been called a cult leader and [where] the Islamic practice of giving to charity [has been described as] no more than, quote, ‘a funding mechanism for combat.’”
The FBI materials were first reported and posted online by ‘Wired’ Magazine’s Danger Room blog.
“In this particular instance,” said Mr. Mueller, “reports of what had been in that training came up from the students, and we took action to assure that that inappropriate, offensive content was not provided to others.”
He added that there had been “other instances [of training] that may include what would be perceived as offensive content.”
The exchange highlights a long-running dispute, both about the counterterrorism training provided by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, but more deeply about the nature of the threat posed by the ideology of Islamic terrorism.
Mr. Mueller “is saying that this correlation [between piety and violence] is offensive because Islamic supremacist groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tell him that it offends them,” said Robert Spencer, a writer on Islam.
Mr. Spencer is one of those whose training presentations for law enforcement – including for the FBI – have been criticized as anti-Muslim. CAIR describes itself as a civil rights organization and denies any link to terrorism.
“Mueller and the FBI have departed from a pursuit of the truth and are following a politically correct agenda that makes us all less safe,” Mr. Spencer told the Times.
John Guandolo, a former FBI agent and another counterterrorism trainer, called it “outrageous” that “almost the only people our leaders in national security and law enforcement are looking to for guidance about Islam” are representatives of groups like CAIR, which he said is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a global political network that promotes Islamic law and a political view of Islam as not just a personal faith, but a code for the whole of society.
“The FBI director’s job is not to be the politically correct police, but to look at facts and evidence,” Mr. Guandolo said. “The fact is, the major threat does not come from terrorist attacks. It comes from the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The Second World War was caused by a tiny minority of extremists of unknown nationality and political allegiance, and could not have been prevented due to inadequate information and intelligence. http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2011/03/church-of-adolf-hitler.html

The scariest thing about stories like this is that at best Muslims make up 1% of the population in America. No other group comes close to the political clout per percent of population as the Muslims. What would it be like if they were say 15% percent ?

When is America going to wake up to the fact that this creep in the White House is a lying Muslim? This guy says he’s a Christian but bears absolutely ZERO (just like his name) fruit.
If there ever was a president that needed his butt thrown out of the White House, it’s this guy.
Absolutely appalling what he is doing to this great country.
Will you stand by, America, and watch the complete destruction?
Will get out and campaign in this next election? Will you man the phones? Will you knock on doors?
The 2012 election will be the turning point in this nation’s history.

From the standpoint of law enforcement it doesn’t really matter what the “religion” or ideology the criminals believe, it’s about their illegal activity.
On the other hand, is the FBI oblivious? Of course not: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists

Islam IS the reason these people kill. To leave their belief system out of a manual makes a mockery of preparedness.

This whole situation smells so rotten and its so frustrating as a traditional American. For my own emotional health I may just have to stop reading all this. I know enough already. Somehow there is a link, an avenue of communication between this usurper president and the Islamic world that is rotten, illegal to the core. Its more than civil rights. I’ve been through the 60’s and 70’s and I know what civil rights looks like because it involves unreasonable suppression and prejudice against a people group who cannot help being born the way they are and where they are. Like as if I was mzungu born in Sudan I could not help it and prejudice against me would make that unfair. But with Christ I could live under repression. this is not the case with Islam.
I like the fact you pointed out the secular govt. being disfavored by Obama.
Its a shame we have servicemen dying under the command of a spy and a betrayer. I discourage anybody from signing up for military service at this time until we bring everybody home and have a patriotic president that is American. CAIR needs to not be listened to. I think we know how to manage national security without their input. There should be eyes rolling with disdain in the FBI and CIA everytime CAIR sends them a message.

In another America men like we have in this Administration that are successfully taking down America would have already been removed from office. But no, God gives authority to all men and has a purpose for Obama and Islam in America. We will either be made stronger or we will be mo more; it all depends on the timing and will of the God of the Jews and Christians. I do know this that in the final days Islam and all of its supporters will be given the whole earth for a time. They will celebrate and have children and then the old earth will pass away. Burned up by an unquenchable fire (sub-atomic processes) and a new heaven and a new earth will be formed. The latter will be remembered no more; nor will there be any tears or crying.
But without a turning away from the old life and following Jesus there will be these people and Islamic people in the future- “and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;”
Let the reader be warned that these ancient words that have been proven over and over to be true is written in the past-tense. In other words it has already happened in the eyes of an omniscient God who sees the beginning and the end at once.

There is no such distinction. Certainly muslims don’t make any such distinction. ==================================================================================

Mr. Mueller said that one part of the training program disclosed in a press account was “inappropriate and offensive,” but that the session was a “one-off” and not likely to be repeated.

So are we to conclude that its merely by coincidence that wherever devout muslims rule there is the most violence and repression?
We have demented people in our government. Our own government has become a clear and present danger to the American people.

Is it merely a coincidence that while removing all references to Islam from US govt sponsored anti-terror efforts, Obama is actively using American military and political influence to strengthen Islam/sharia influences throughout Africa and the Middle East?

Mr. Lerner:
In Printed in the Land of Greece is a rare copy of “CANADA THE PROMISED LAND;”!
The Striking Hand of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Riel! History states over again Rebellion is Rebel American; and when any Nation’s Flag is raised the song is Democratic and never yellow religion! I write from the known … Holy Baptised and Holy Confirmed Roman Catholic all Registered as is my Mother; Ms Margaret Ban and my separated by (Jewish and Mormon and other non caring ill;) for law abiding and if a man who is ousted for political power for clean living it is me and my Klan Family Simon need all water of the Earth and the rich may never steal for the meek are fools who never fought Calvary!!!!!
For proof look into this neat but wrong article on the famous and not here Anthem!
I never as Mr. Alexander Simon true Roman Catholic met this man called pressure for some form of understanding in Naval Academy! According to a cool “Manitoba” and Wisconsin style of play write; examine and rote a reason what this in journalism clean does mean: “In reality, is a (S) system where a lot of “sharpies:” hide behind (to ‘draft dodge – War where only the Roman Catholic Registered and Holy Baptised and Holy Confirmed won every one-#!!!!!!
On this page -#39; and #2 Paragraph ask if in the living of … The Secretary of State of Canada; (not, Provincial) by a non said Canadian or bat or train … or a Mr. Andrew Anton of Vancouver, British Columbia; is B.C. ; called a Province or a as in the terms of Calvary War by Roman Catholics a State?
This Book I have and own is questionable! The photo Editor is a Mr. Don Harmon unlisted as any one in this Book claiming … at the age of 14 years old emigration after (a War; again; “yellow journalism); in 1928;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo-Turkish_War … “was fought between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy from September 29, 1911 to October 18, 1912.”
Did this writer set a drink a really know that this war would mark him German sited for War Crimes? Only one pregnant female was released two years early and how could a man with Greek stare enter a German lead-against religion fighting for no Lutheran and only the German People with the head of the Roman Catholic Regime?
Today this man Greek would be 117-years olde according to this failing cloudy prose!
If an “open” ; letter was written formal to any President of the United States of America a; http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/International+Standard+for+Book+Numbering is not listed for Canadian audience and is for the American? Why?
Another example is if Mr. former President Ronald Reagan read this: “ …. “ I am informed you (Mr. President Reagan) have lost 3 million votes (again, by British as stated) and made your second term a Roman candle …” (?)!!!!!
A same male contending Greece: Mr. Andrew Anton Ypsilantou 11 of Kato (if sited) in Kifissia, (exists?); Athens, Greece?
To side the man who protected the Nation of America and the World on Star Wars; and to have his trusted name showered as a easy talk what poor manners and do like the Greek care of exacting! Mr. Ronald Reagan was near “killed;: reported by some deranged (southern Baptist) ill! Now I read phonys and remem ber of this man’s name He had the “little commie book;” and denounced all religion “trash;: and if not in Serbia and Croatia then also U.S.A.!!!!!
How dare you fool of commie blast none enlist to a war against the Democratic (and only American-War!)!
If there is a People who care about Roman Catholics then tell me where; is this un-acknowledged Mr. Andrew Anton of 258 Mesogion str. Holargos, Athens on a July of 1978; current!
The remainder of the non communicable read is weird Ukrainian mended with Serbian and some Croatian!
Well look at page131; this states an in bile of rerating one’s Nation Flag — ante Germany!!!!!
Last from the discourse: a
“At Noon July 1st Let’st Sing O Canada.”
“The story of the Maple Leaf Flag is the history of Canada as seen through the evolution of our national symbol. Looking back from the first decade of the 21st century, the design we chose seems obvious, inevitable. But in 1964, at the height of Great Flag Debate, the home-grown leaf eked out a narrow victory over the symbols of Canada’s colonial past. Yet in the more than 45 years since its birth on February 15, 1965, the red-and-white Maple Leaf has become indisputably one of the world’s great flags”
http://www.flagforcanada.ca/ is a lie! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada; per surfing and proven is the first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_John_A._Macdonald; if the Maple Leaf was only in the Annum Domini of 1964; The Texas flag is known as the “Lone Star Flag” (giving rise to the state’s nickname “The Lone Star State”). This flag was introduced to the Congress of the Republic of Texas on December 28, 1838, by Senator William H. Wharton.”
Did a lonely man waiting for his woman sent out try to challenge TEXAN BLOOD?
Then read this Major Lead into winning TEXAN STATE-#1 here!
This Man is Confederate Friend to and Pure TEXAN!
My mighty pen points true South when I write!!!!!
When did a true Maple of Leaf Tree set shoulders in Canada that is America?!
See supple ‘green;’!
http://www.ehow.com/about_6810391_minnesota-tree-leaf-identification.html; here with supreme ‘proof;’ is the Leaf green then orange and rarely red and only America yet really Canadian with out US forwarding the Gatling Gun (Austin, Texas, America)!
Before ‘John-Boy;’ (older and a 29-year-old at least America caring) says: “good-night Maw!; where; is this red; Oh-Maple-of-Canada lifting to ground?
Are American squirrels gathering Nuts (commies) to freeze and dry?
“The tune made its debut on June 24, 1880, almost 13 years after Confederation, at a banquet in the ‘Pavilion des Patineurs’ in Quebec City, an exciting and well-received climax to the ‘Mosaïque Sur des Airs Polulaires Canadiens’ which had been arranged by prominent composer and bandmaster Joseph Vézina” …. http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/cananhist.htm; now wars with the above! Gee olde Maple drip and thick that is lying?
(if Texas; fight Calvary War again and lose your stinky demine; sir or madam!)!
AND NOW THE REAL CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM:
(http://canadagazette.gc.ca/archives/p1/2002/2002-06-01-s2/html/cibc-eng.html)
The First War of Red!
With the Blood of Roman Catholic;
We Won All Land!
Ghost past of every Land;
The Texan Hand Roman Catholic
Supplied War End of every commie stand!
The German Front clean and worth;
Maple a tree and not dirty War;
And days … I feel more!
And for the Guard; why was Royal Canadian Mounted Police forgiven a REJECTION;

Obama does own Hippocratic attitude. He wanna show something else to his people will try to show polite attitude to the Muslim community.
