A new MSNBC.com poll shows that the majority readers (51%) actually want Pres. Obama to use the words “radical Islamic terrorism” when discussing the threat of terrorism in the United States.
Earlier this week, Pres. Obama went on a tirade against the use of the phrase “radical Islam” and explained why he refuses to say it. Likewise, a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) urges government agencies to shun words like “jihad” and “sharia” in in their anti-terrorism efforts.
Apparently, not only will the administration avoid saying “Islamist terrorism” – they won’t even allow the president of France to say it. In April, MRCTV reported and documented how a video of Pres. Francois Hollande calling “Islamist terrorism” the root of terrorism was pulled from the White House – only to reappear with the audio of those words missing in both French and English (via the translator).
