Fantasy-based analysis is now required at the highest levels in Washington. In FrontPage this morning I discuss the new truth-denying policies:
It has been a long time coming, but the Obama Administration has now officially banned the truth. Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole declared Wednesday at a conference in Washington that he had “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.” This “reevaluation” will remove all references to Islam in connection with any examination of Islamic jihad terror activity. The Obama Administration has now placed off-limits any investigation of the beliefs, motives and goals of jihad terrorists.Dwight C. Holton, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, emphasized that training materials for the FBI would be purged of everything politically incorrect: “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. They will not be tolerated.”
Holton said that he had spoken with Attorney General Eric Holder about FBI training materials that Holton claimed were “egregiously false,” and that Holder “is firmly committed to making sure that this is over….we’re going to fix it.” Holton said that this “fix” was particularly urgent because the rejected 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.”
Cole suggested that these training materials had done damage domestically as well: “One of the many, tragic legacies of 9/11 has been an increase in prejudice, discrimination and hatred directed against persons of the Muslim and Sikh faiths and those who are, or who are mistakenly perceived to be, of Arab or South Asian descent. Some have wrongly sought to blame the horror of 9/11 on Arab-American, Muslim American, Sikh-American and South Asian American communities. It has led to attacks against places of worship and other hate crimes, to job discrimination, and to the tragic harassment of children in our schools.”
After sketching out this horror tale, Cole declared: “We must never allow our sorrow and anger at the senseless attack of 9/11 to blind us to the great gift of our diversity.” And this, he said, must involve a rejection of the stereotyping of Muslims: “All of us must reject any suggestion that every Muslim is a terrorist or that every terrorist is a Muslim. As we have seen time and again – from the Oklahoma City bombing to the recent attacks in Oslo, Norway – no religion or ethnicity has a monopoly on terror.” It was George Bush, he said, who after 9/11 “made clear to the nation that these terrorist acts were committed by individuals who distort the peaceful religion of Islam,” and now all government analysis of jihad terror would reflect that perspective.
Of course, the controversial training materials did not really claim that all Muslims are terrorists or that all terrorists are Muslims, and it is noteworthy that Cole had to resort to dismissive caricatures to make his point. For in taking this course, the Obama Administration is bowing to pressure from the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Islamic advocacy groups. In a Los Angeles Times op-ed that appeared on the same day as the conference in Washington, Salam al-Marayati of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) roundly criticized existing training materials about jihad terror and demanded that the FBI and the Justice Department “issue a clear and unequivocal apology to the Muslim American community; establish a thorough and transparent vetting process in selecting its trainers and materials; invite experts who have no animosity toward any religion to conduct training about any religious community to law enforcement.”
Al-Marayati complained that training materials reflected “bigoted and inflammatory views on Muslims, including claims that ‘devout’ Muslims are more prone toward violence, that Islam aims to ‘transform a country’s culture into 7th century Arabian ways,’ that Islamic charitable giving is a ‘funding mechanism for combat’ and that the prophet Muhammad was a ‘violent cult leader.’”
In this al-Marayati was simply repeating talking points from an “expose” of FBI training materials by hard-Left journalist Spencer Ackerman in Wired, who has been conducting a campaign for some time to get the bureau to purge its terrorism training seminars of any hint of the truth about the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. Yet like virtually all Leftist and Islamic supremacist critics of anti-jihad and anti-terror material, Ackerman and al-Marayati take for granted that such assertions are false, without bothering to explain how or why. Apparently they believe that their falsity is so self-evident as to require no demonstration; unfortunately, however, there is considerable evidence that they are true, and that in banning such materials, the Obama Administration has essentially banned the truth.
Why is this treasonous and seditious POTUS not impeached? This is another step toward completely banning any rational discourse about islam and creeping sharia. I fear that if this idiot is given another mandate, the United States of America (USA) will have to change its name to the UCA, (the United Caliphate of America). I'm sure Canada would welcome any current and future freedom fighters to use our land as a jumping off point to recapture the US from the current and future Islamists that the Obama administration is cozying up to. And there will be plenty of patriotic, freedom-loving Canadians willing to jump into the fray with you. I am not religious, but I pray that US citizens of all stripes vote in a competent, non-PC government in 2012 to undo all the damage this secret muslim and his apologist cronies has done to your great country.

The Obama Administration's "Ostrich Policy:"
Strategy:
Do not (allow the American people to) know the enemy
Tactics:
Hear no Evil + See no Evil + Speak no Evil = No Evil
Goal:
Denial of reality
This policy has been approved by the Muslim Brotherhood, et al...
This spells Trouble.
Truth beats trouble.
Ima---My wife and myself may immigrate to Canada some time soon. Another 4 for Imam Obomber would probably seal the deal; especially if "In God We Trust" is removed from our currency. All the posting about Obomber being dumb, stupid and clueless flies against what I believe: that this has been a very clever orchestration by a closet Islamist bent on pulling down every relatively stable middle-eastern government. This coming from the FBI is p.c. run amuck. How can you stand against this multi-fronted assault from ever institution we have formally trusted.
Al-Marayati complained that training materials reflected “bigoted and inflammatory views on Muslims, including claims that ‘devout’ Muslims are more prone toward violence, that Islam aims to ‘transform a country’s culture into 7th century Arabian ways,’ that Islamic charitable giving is a ‘funding mechanism for combat’ and that the prophet Muhammad was a ‘violent cult leader.’”
Well, if it walks like a duck… Truth is that unfortunately (for us) this describes (serious, devout) Islamic practitioners rather well. Right on all counts. What's the problem? Read the Koran, the truth is all there.
Guide inside,
By all means, please come. We need more freedom-loving people, and fewer democracy-hating muslims. While Canada still has a lot of work to do vis-a-vis combating rampant socialism, political correctness, and ill-conceived multiculturalism propogated by PM Trudeau in the 70s, our current government seems to "get it." Culturally, our countries are, and SHOULD BE, based on Judeo/Christian principles and mores, and it makes no difference whether you're God-fearing or not. As Robert always points out, a culture is only as good as the tenets that support it, and everyone benefits, even the leftist socialists that seem so willing to subjugate and attack the very institutions and peoples that allow them to exist openly and freely. You will never have to forget your American identity, but you will no doubt be proud to call yourself Canadian. Bring some friends!

The "whitewashing," and purging of all references to the truth about Islam from the federal government under the watchful eye of the Obama administration has been going on steadily for years now by the Obama administration.
What I want to know is how and why this quisling is able to get away with it? Are there no "checks and balances" within our Constitutional government to impeach this traitor?
Why do our elected "political elites" in Washington continue to tolerate this seditious anti-American as he continues to destroy the fabric of our society, our national security, and continues his complete and total submission and capitulation of America to Islam?
At what point are the American people going to stop being willfully-complicit to what this "Muslim" traitor is doing to our nation?
It is time to wake up America!!!!
Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole has been bought or is simply an IGNORAMUS..
A yes man who will say and do what he is told - a TRUE DHIMMI..
I do not think anyone believes that all Muslims are terrorists. Most DO believe that most terrorists are Muslim..
If this man truly believes what he has just said above
To finish the above - I hope the next 14 months go by quickly..We need some sanity in office soon..
It is naive to think that military personnel, FBI agents and other members of the law enforcement community get all of their knowledge of Islam from government training manuals.
If those training manuals were their only source of information, that would be a real problem.
But they have access to the same information--even more, perhaps--as anyone else. They watch television, listen to radio broadcasts, and read just like the rest of us.
The real idiocy here is that this administration actually thinks this edict will prevent law enforcement personnel from learning the truth about Islam.
"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..." -- Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole
Cole is undoubtedly right about this, that the training materials are contrary to what Obama and Holder stand for, but I hope that he is being intentionally disingenuous in stating it like this (although I doubt he is, and is dutifully carrying out instructions from his bosses). Of course, the problem lies with Obama and Holder, not the materials themselves. Robert, you (and Pamela Geller, and David Horowitz, and Daniel Pipes, and Brigitte Gabriel, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Bat Ye'or, and Mark Stein, and Geert Wilders, and a host of other brave truth-tellers) are doing the right thing to keep the spotlight on the realities of Islam, as compared to the whitewashed version portrayed by our PC/MC-besotted leftist cultural establishment and MSM.
The general election is less than a year away. Let's all work to ensure that Obama is removed from office, and along with him Eric Holder and the entire cabal of leftist hires made in the Department of Justice during his tenure. The Feds need to clean house and get rid of those within the department who are working to obfuscate the big picture of Islam as a supremacist and retrograde ideology antithetical to modern concepts of human rights.
I have been saying this since he was first elected and repeating it with every arrogrant attitudial actions he has preformed.
One of his first acts was to go to the muslim world and bow so low he could have kissed his own arse. He then proceeded to apoligize to the the Islamic world for being American and gave a speach at al-Azar. That speach was full of lies. One of the first things I shouted out when he did the above was "IMPEACHED HIM". "If he is ashammed to be an American, he shouldn't be president of the United States.'"
He is an arrogant, inexperienced, dishonorable man, a man without character. He is a socialist and a muslim. He never should have been elected, on the very basic level that it was a slap in the face, to all those who died on "911" and in the war on terror that followed. Obama did not have the experience, credentials, knowledge or character to hold the office of president. Even during his campaign he was linked to lies and corruption as governor.
He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do and we have let him. Nothing he has done should surprise anyone, it was all fore told, by not just the "doom sayers," but by him.
He has consistantly snubbed and "INSULTED" Israel our only friend in the middle east. All the while dolling out money to the muslim world. While our economy "TANKED,". Also, he has consistantly insulted/snubbed all non-muslims and other religious beliefs in this "COUNTRY" and the world in general.
He is re- defining the meaning of truth and prosperity to whatever his definition is. He has goals: to redistribute the wealth in this country and enact legislation on gun control. His administration is limiting American Freedoms, this new attack on the freedom of speach is just another step on the rung to total control and soicalism.
Everything he is doing in the "here and now" is to be re-elected. Obama's ratings are almost lower than the former president, George Bush. He ran on a platform of "change" - OBVIOUSLY, his only method of change, was to allow the destruction of the country to contiune so a disaster would occur, and the scenario of, "letting no disaster go to waste" become his final "CHANGE" to all of us. He is a SOCIALIST, pure and simple. He has all but tanked our economy. And now he's getting up off his arse and doing something? ... Yeah Right!!! He's losing and he doesn't do any type of "loss" well.
The truth we are now "fed daily," is what those in power now want us to believe and know. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm just stating the facts.
One of the facts are, as Obama has just stated, we are worse off now with him as president than with Bush. We are worse off in every single way; economic, safety, and the future. Bush may have stretched the truth to a new limit. Obama is making it up to his own liking.
We may not live in a technically socialistic state, but were close.
WAKE UP PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!! Obama's, bringing the troops home and the recent false support for Israel are all to get him re-elected.
IMPEACH HIM, IMPEACH HIM, IMPEACH HIM - get him out of office of the presidency, before there is no office of "Freedom for American people," left to get him out of.
What you said!
Ima
Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves today decrying the imminent sharia law in Libya, and within the same hour disagreed with a caller (former military) who said we should get out of Iraq.
"We succeeded in Iraq," was Limbaugh's message, and why leave the whole thing to implode?
This is another example of myopia on the part of these Grover Norquist neo-cons. Iraq and Afghanistan are both under sharia rule, and the State Dept under BUSH is to thank. The most powerful army on the planet stands by whilst citizens are imprisoned under capital charges for apostasy.
How has "success" in Iraq helped the 800,000 Christians who have all but vanished? Politicians of all stripes here have to stop tip-toeing around. Yes, Obama is intent on the destruction of western civilisation. Will the Republicans offer an enlightened warrior? Not if it's Romney, Paul, Perry, or Huntsman. Santorum--wants to stay in Iraq. Bachman? Cain? Perhaps Cain's 'gaffe' stating he'd never have a Muslim in h is cabinet is the only hope we have.
I do not know if we can survive another year of this Obama-inspired madness.
I don't know if we can survive to "vote him out of office". I really think that Obama's main "Goal" is the destruction of America and the freedoms that are contained there in. His apathy during the Gulf Oil spill was an outrage! His attitude was one of "pure" arrogance, what did he say ".....me call the CEO of BP"? ... And no one held him to ACCOUNTABILITY!!!! We held President Bush accountable for Katrina. But everyone Shut-up concerning Obama!
I have already out-lined in an above "post" what Obama has already revealed concerning what he wants to do to America.
If redistribution of the wealth in this country, doesn't get your attention nothing will. That's socialism pure and simple.
Obama should have been "Impeached" many times over. Clinton just missed it for "sexual misconduct" and whether you think that was right or not, Obama is 100-times worse.
I really think he under estimated the strength of the American people and their spirit. I believe he thought we'd "Crumble" long time ago.
Obama, was looking for that "disaster" he could use to impliment the change he wanted to see happen in America.
So, I don't know if we can make it to another election, but we definitely can't make it through another 4-years of an Obama White House.
This "Obama" White House is an "Alien Nation"
In 1995 a non-Muslim named Timothy McVeigh (with no global organization or support) exploded a bomb in an isolated event killing 165. His actions were not supported by his religion (or lack thereof) and he was condemned by his peers and executed.
16 years later, thousands of ongoing terrorist attacks across the world have killed 17,900. The perpetrators are supported by religious scripture which they accurately cite for justification and many are celebrated by their peers as heroes.
Therefore, you should ignore the global Jihad because afterall, 16 years ago a white guy blew up a bomb too.
We held President Bush accountable for Katrina.
^^^^^^^
Yes, whilst the mayor of the city hid in a high rise hotel, and the governor of LA refused to ask FEMA for help, the hurricane (which never hit New Orleans--only the rain did) was blamed on Bush.
Obama and Holder have overstepped their Constitutionally mandated powers. Impeachment? Just look at Fast & Furious: Holder and Obama are both ignoring it. There's no accountability. They're both dangerous idealogues who are intentionally running this nation over a cliff with a brick on the gas pedal.
I fear gravely for this nation and for Israel. Obama has way too much time left on his watch to continue at this pace. As for the Republicans, what will it take for people to see that our liberty is vanishing before our eyes?
OK. I'll attend all the security classes and meetings I have to with the sanitized, PC books and training materials.
But at home I have my real AT/ Counter-Jihad training materials, and their authors are Spencer, Geller, Ye'or, Gaffney, Katz, etc.
One day soon, when the warriors of the West rise again to cancel this threat for good, the training materials will be changed to reflect the truth.
I agree with everything you say, but the how to for the "Impeachment" is the question. Yes, Obama and Holder have overstepped their Constitutionally mandated powers, but the media that in the end turned on Clinton (they basicly strattled the fence), is solidly still behind Obama. If there are cracks in the media's support of Obama I really can't find it.
The Gulf Oil disaster should have been enought to crucify Obama or the very least start a feeding frenzy, but the "silence" of the media was deafening.
Back when the Tea Party was starting up I thought we were waking up and had a chance to remove Obama and work our way out of this. Now, with the Tea Party almost a non-issue we're back to this inefficent two party system that hasn't worked in decades. The Republicans and Democrates just want to be in power for their own agendes. Of the two I prefer the Republicans, but thats not saying much. It's just become the better choice of two evils.
We who want change and believe in freedom have to do several things:
1. Stand together. United we stand, divided we fall. We are fighting an oponent with more power and resorces. They will just pick us off one by one, if we do this any other way than in mass.
2. We must hold the government, our officials, the media and all in authority accountibile. The truth of an official is paramount and erroding of our freedoms must be stopped. Accountability is a major issue.
3. We also must be willing to put it on the line for our freedoms. If we who know and care, won't do what is necessary we won't win. We still have the means to accomplish this within our governmental guidelines, but we won't if we keep allowing our freedoms to be erroded.
We have a fight on our hands, but fight we must, the future demands it.

OK. I'll attend all the security classes and meetings I have to with the sanitized, PC books and training materials.
There is so much on the web about Islamic Jihad, violent verses in the Koran, historic 1400 years of Islamic conquests for booty and enslavement, Sharia, the Caliphate, and of course wonderful and informative sites like these, that the Gov's edict on censoring "Islam" and "Jihad" from its manuals is basically superfluous. You know that, I know that, and I bet most FBI/CIA/Homeland personnel know this too. None of this will change things one bit, except to make our brave protectors of our American freedoms and people weary of their own government. I think Obama administration has shot itself in the foot on this one. Bowing to Islam makes no sense, not now, not ever, and the price they pay in today's Age of Information is that they look the fools. We know it, all know it, and the only stupids who don't understand are Islamists and apologists. The Public will not be fooled.
"After sketching out this horror tale, Cole declared: “We must never allow our sorrow and anger at the senseless attack of 9/11 to blind us to the great gift of our diversity.”
What a sick way to spit on the graves of 3,00 murdered innocents, their families and to every American. The Obama Regine is nearly close to slamming freedom shut. It makes me sick to my stomach.
There is only one way. November 5th, 2012. Send Barack Obama back to Chicago as a private citizen.
Yes, please do go.
All potential deserters should leave forthwith.
Ask sonofwalker about what a civil liberties 'paradise' canada is.
Wow, all they can come up with is 2 incidents in the last 25 years of non-muslims doing terrorist killings, over 14,000 incidents SINCE 9/11 of documented Muslims committing terrorist acts. Even the killing of 14 women at the Engineering Institute in Montreal was committed by a muslim, who changed his name here in Canada to Lapine, his father was a known devout Muslim, the left-wing media here in Canada never even mentioned this info in their reporting.
The only people that don't think America is at war with Islam is....well....the stupid Obama administration. 2012 can't get here fast enough.
Obama is the Muslim Trojan horse for the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad. If he does not do enough for the cause, his look-alike Kenyan brother can always replace him. But, Obama has been able to polarize (divide and conquer) the country into Leftist elitists (supremacists who think they will be left with all the power, not just plundered puppets of global jihad) and big business or Christian republicans. Meanwhile he works to make all government agencies Islamic socialism-friendly, making Islam the favored religion with politically correct protection. He militarily enables the global jihad to set up Islamic democracies (Islamic Constitution equals Sharia law) even without Congressional approval (Libya), while ignoring the genocidal jihads of Africa. He pushes abortion worldwide ahead of the wave of genocidal jihad. And, he has not only tried to rewrite U.S. history to include significant Muslim contribution but is now re-defining Islam within the U.S. so as to subdue U.S. resistance to its takeover. It is not surprising, but it is progressing to the point of scornful blatancy.
...the Obama Administration has essentially banned the truth...
............................
Because trying to fight the Jihad with one arm tied behind our backs just wasn't enough. Now we're blindfolded, as well. Madness...
Aloha BOT,
You responded the other day on the first thread JW posted on this. Thanks for taking the time to write. I didn't disagree with anything you said. I'm happy that Robert wrote more of his thoughts on this, a more detailed analysis.
I'm thankful to be a small part of this Counter-Jihad community that keeps the drumbeat going of the threat and how to answer it. Just today as a matter of fact, I worked with some British military personnel and asked them if they've ever heard of the EDL. They said "NO" and I let loose with a diatribe of information all Western men and women need, military types even more so.
Yes Sir, the truth can be hidden, disquised, etc .... but not extinguished. And those in government and media only make themselves look like incompetent buffoons when they try.
The Hammer knew how to handle this.
'' Just today as a matter of fact, I worked with some British military personnel and asked them if they've ever heard of the EDL. They said "NO" ''
I sincerely doubt they were telling you the truth. Even 'call me dave' has heard of us.
drumbeat going of the threat and how to answer it. Just today as a matter of fact, I worked with some British military personnel and asked them if they've ever heard of the EDL. They said "NO"
Maybe so, Jan. I don't know if they were telling the truth or not. Either way I informed them!
And that was yesterday... today I talked to more of them and stressed how important it is for British men and women to fight and get back their natural human right to bear arms.
AND the meaning of the immortal words MOLON LABE!!
I love it when they're in town. I have ancestors from the Scottish lowlands and highlands, and Lincolnshire. I've never been to these places, but being around these lads makes me feel a little closer to that part of my heritage.
The lads are interested in a wide variety of subjects, many are multi-lingual. A fine and classy bunch over-all.
And of course pints are had in great quantity.
Thanks for writing, Jan.
