Obama Administration Pulls All Training Materials That Portray Islam As a Violent Religion

After pressure from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslim groups, the Obama Administration has pulled all training materials that portray Islam as a violent religion.

Islamic terrorists have carried out over 17,888 deadly terror attacks since 9-11.

Palestinians in Gaza jubilantly welcomed home hundreds of cold-blooded terrorists who slaughtered or attempted to slaughter men, women and children in the name of their religion this week. So why would anyone try to link Islam with violence?

The Daily Caller reported:

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.

Guess they need to replace all reference to “islamic extremist” with “those American who get bitter, (that) they cling to guns or religion (or The Bible)”.

Yes, you see these bitter gun/Bible clinging people all the time at Sunday Service (guess this is why Obama does not attend Sunday Services any more) or when TSA agents frisk those old ladies from the midwest. . . those apple pie baking grannies are notorious for clinging to their religion!

Don’t let the scent of apples & cinnamon fool you! . . . or the aroma of Tea (as in TEA Party), too!

Obama can smell those bitter clinging extremists anywhere and everywhere! Even on the roads of Tennessee. . . where Big Sis is setting up roadside inspections (expect to see them soon in a city by you staffed by OWS groupies)!

Message to all American subjects from Mordor,

STOP believing the evidence of your eyes. 911, the Little Rock killing of a soldier, Fort Hood, the countless foiled domestic terrorism plots, these are all to be disregarded, as if they never happened, as if it weren’t Muslims behind each one of them.

So when the koran says to Muslims in the verses of the sword, 9:5, 9:29, just to choose two of countless exhortations from allah on how Muslims are to deal with non-Muslims, these too are to be removed. And by extension anything that is found in the koran.

I realize that the Left has marched through the institutions, Gramsci-style, but even Americans who/ve been subjected to the dumbed-down public schools aren’t that brain dead,

I know Issa is doing what he can, but we need more boots on the ground, how about some independent investigations. Heck if it will get these idiots fired sooner I’ll be happy to donate to the cause.

Holton doesn’t realize his accurate prediction. “They will not be tolerated.”

Lets interpret that last sentence properly. Holton thinks he was referring to materials, when if fact I read the “they” as a reference to the listed people.

Come November 2012 they will NOT be tolerated. DEAD ON!

Perfect tone from Obama who made it his life’s mission since 9/11 to engage in taqqiyah that muslims are the most peaceful religion on planet. And while it may be true that usa is not at wae with islam/muslims the fact is that islam/muslims are at war with nonmuslims/infidels and the only restraint on muslims acting on their beliefs is critical mass in a particular country. If the muslim population is under ten peecent they primarily us lawfare and screaming victimhood to give sharia preferential treatment. Once they achieve ten percent or more violence escalates expinentially and muslim conclaves become ifidel free zones.

What is this guy, King of the muslims? He’s going to stop all cooperation?

This is hysterical. Muslims say worse things about islam than the US has ever even attempted to say. The first thing that muslims do when they attack other muslims is burn down the mosques (though, to be fair, the first things muslims do when they attack anyone is to burn down their churches – usually when they are full of people).

Of course, for the nation that elected as Precedent a retarded Hussein who hates our nation – an ineligible commie raised a muslim in the largest muslim nation in the world, just 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union and less than 10 years after 9/11 … these latest fact revisions and appeasement of the primitives are just par for the course.

Arch commented:

islam is a religion of peace as long as you do exactly what the mullahs tell you.

If a muslim kills a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jew or atheist because he refuses to convert, it’s okay.

If you convert from islam to another religion, muslims can kill you.

If a muslim is gay, it’s okay with islam to kill him because of it.

If anyone says or does anything that disparages islam, it’s okay to kill him and riot in the streets.

muslims are very protective of their women.

If a muslim’s daughter decides to dress like other girls in her school, she brings dishonor on her family and it’s okay for a male relative to kill her.

If an islamic republic condemns a virgin to death, she must be raped before she is executed.

There are rules for how to beat your wife.

If a woman commits adultery, of course, muslims can stone her to death.

If you capture an infidel woman during jihad, you can make her your sex slave.

Very enlightened religion, don’t you agree?

Meanwhile, this administration is big into its “arab Spring” rhetoric … when most arabs are muslims, all arab countries are muslim countries, and in islam there ARE NO SEASONS. islam runs on a totally lunar calendar without any connection to the solar year, whatsoever. In fact, in islam it’s a death penalty offense to insert any intercalaries into the calendar to sync it with the solar year and the seasons. Death penalty.

I really don’t have that much of a problem with this IF they also expunge all training materials that impugn Christians, deeply patriotic, tea party and, especially, military veterans, as somehow tending toward such acts because of their belliefs and backgrounds. Just keep it all on criminal behavior patterns, without trying to infuse reading minds and beliefs into the picture.

The whole preemptive imperative here requires reading minds and guessing at intent to a degree that “criminalizes” alot of law-abiding citizens. I’m not sure it’s a good, or successful, anti-terrorist approach.

How many millions of Americans must die at the hands of Muslim extremists before it will be acceptable to acknowledge that there is a religious group that wants to annihilate anyone outside their religion? How many millions must die before the borders are secured and that people from countries who wish to do harm to the US are excluded and removed? How many Americans are acceptable casualties of this jihad? How many?

Unfortunately, if they were going to do this properly, it would be a good thing. If they’d introduce a few more terms that Muslims themselves use for terrorists, it would make sense. Instead, what they are doing is getting rid of words, concepts and distinctions. George Orwell wrote about this.

http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/words-are-important

The latest fad in the Federal government is to pretend that the religious justifications, claimed by the perpetrators of hysterically ugly crimes, rogue governments, and violent political parties dedicated to murder of their neighbors, do not exist. And yet, these people advertise their actions and their intent cloaked in religious justification that remains unanswered. They are happy to point out that this religious justification remains unanswered. This is foolish.

It’s like a driver on a highway pretending that fog, rain, and snow don’t exist — it’s all highway. The end result of this kind of thinking makes the local news with depressing frequency.

Recently a group called NAMBLA petitioned the 50 states Attorneys General requesting that all references to Pedophiles in any states publications, as well as statutes, be removed due to the negative portrayal that it makes against child molestation.
Just kidding, but it is a fair comparison.
Islamists, since their inception, have warred against their neighboring countries. It has a long (1400 years) track record in the annals of history.
This is not to say that everyone who embraces Islam is committed to forced acceptance of their faith. Taken as a whole though, it has as much in common with a political movement as it does with a religious one (a fact that has made it most menacing to neighboring Christian countries).
In polling, 20-25% of muslims believe in holy war. That is not an insignificant number, and if true, warrants the greatest concerns for nations which are not Islamic in order to provide basic defense, the most fundamental responsibility of govt.
Typical self destructive action by prince obama. Were it only his fate that would be at risk, then fine, but it is not just his that is at stake.

Holton is partially correct, We are not at war with Islam……They are and have been at war with the United States for the past several years,…This administration is constantly favoring the Islam cult. OBama has disagreed with the Iraq Invasion, and now orders the removal of all American troops from Iraq, regardless of fear that UIran may interfere i n Iraq affairs.
Now halting all training materials by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies used to trauinf our agencies on terrorism because it might offend some Muslim groups, with threats by by the MUSlim Public Affairs Council with a total cutoff of cooperation beytween American Muslims and Law Enforcement , if they faill to reverse its training material…THis policy muSt have originated from the very top, The White House and Obama, because he favors the Muslim Brotherhood.
