The fact that Biden did not refer to jihad violence specifically was significant. On October 15, Biden released a video message to Muslim Advocates, the association of Muslim lawyers that bears the primary responsibility for demanding, back in 2010, that the Obama administration remove all mention of Islam and jihad from counterterror training and refer to an undefined “extremism” rather than to jihad terrorism. Obama, of course, immediately complied, despite the fact that this would hamstring the ability of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to understand, and defeat, jihadists. The Democratic Party in general, and much of the Republican Party, is committed to the idea that there is no Islamic terror threat, that to speak of such a thing is “Islamophobic,” and that counterterror efforts must be directed against a vaguely-defined “extremism.” Meanwhile, Leftist leaders ever more routinely refer to foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression as “extremists,” and even simply to all those who oppose the Leftist agenda. The implications are obvious, and ominous.
“Biden vows to combat ‘extremist violence’ after ‘horrific’ France attack,” The Hindu, October 30, 2020:
“A Biden-Harris administration will work with our allies and partners to prevent extremist violence in all forms,” he said.
Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden on Thursday vowed to crack down on “extremist violence” if elected, decrying the “horrific” knife attack at a French church that left three dead.
“Jill and I are keeping the French people in our prayers following the horrific terror attack in Nice — which targeted innocents in a house of worship,” he said on Twitter….

Absolutely pitiful, always the same response, “we oppose ALL forms of extremism” but guess what? The first thing to do is take active measures to pretend that the one that actually kills 1,000’s all over the world is played down, or even denied.
Whereas the far right which represents a minimal risk (at the moment) is targeted.
Why?
Is it an endless desire for being seen to be not racist, prejudice free?
Is it visceral fear of Islamist reprisal?
Is it a realisation if we confront the truth we’re in for a serious bit of unrest? A different type of fear.
There is no way out of this, we have to talk honestly about it.
Look at the Muslim world’s response to Macron’s speech after another beheading.
Boycott French products, the justification of the murder of ” millions of Frenchmen” I guess this is the tiny minority of the followers of the ” religion of peace” we are always told to believe are the threat.
How tiny does a minority of 2 billion need to be? 1 in 100,000 is an awful lot of threat.
The uk spends £9 billion/year watching 3,000 on a danger list 24/7. 20,000 others not watched but known about.
There ought to be a huge Muslim outcry against jihad if there is any truth in the ” tiny minority ” arguement.
It will get far worse before we start to act, then who knows how it will develope.

thanks for the link, Tony; it’s nice to know that the guy who claims to be running on his “good character” (as opposed to that of the Evil Orange Man) has skeletons in that part of his moral closet as well.

Biden doesn’t know diddly squat about Islam.

“Should Michigan’s Trump-supporters hold their breath waiting for an apology from Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who’s blamed us all for the hare-brained plot to kidnap her? It would be one way to guarantee a blue state for Election Day.”

Walter Sieruk says
The political situation of this coming national election this November which is that its sad tragic to see that the best the Democratic party can do then nominate that old feeble, weak minded man ,Joe Biden, to be their candidate for President
What’s; more than sad but literally tragic is what a total disaster Biden would be if he is sitting in the White House Office as President
For that would be tragic for the American people as well as tragic for America, all of Western civilization but Biden, as, President, would be viewed with joy by the Islamic world but a curse for Israel to have Biden as the Head and Chief Executive of the USA.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden doesn’t belong in the White House, he belongs in senior citizens retirement community designed for assisted living.
–
To put this in another way, Biden is so feeble minded that he couldn’t even run a laundromat, how less than would he be able to be a competent Chief Executive of the USA..
Walter Sieruk says
The National election this week is a clear and obvious choice between good and evil.
It’s either voting for President Trump who stands with God and the US Constitution or ,by terrible contrast, voting for Joe Biden who is supported by his violent Marxist comrades of Antifa and BLM.
Biden is also backed by that “mullah regime” of Iran.
Kepha says
Uncle Kepha and wife went to vote,
For a northeastern, wrinkled old goat.
But, on us, don’t dump.
The guy’s name is Trump.
Dear Joe, go swim in your moat!
But to get serious, I guess in this deep indigo state, I may as well had taken a whizz into the wind. I promise, however, that if by some strange providence my state so much as returns one GOP rep to the House, I’ll do a dance, weak leg and all!
Kepha says
Biden offers the typical weasel words. Trump is a white supremacist chiefly to his detractors; but the Democrats are usually far too exculpatory towards the rioters and looters. When I see that Portland’s mayor Wheeler is now being beaten by someone from the same movement that trashed his city, I start thinking that these Democratic jurisdictions probably deserve what they’re getting.
john smith says
As we are all well aware, the Democrats believe themselves to be the party of righteousness, and godliness, they are anything but. Even before Trump became president they were attacking him and his supporters by calling them a load of deplorables. and they haven’t stopped attacking him since.
They have moved so far to the left, that they have become the most dangerous party the US has ever had.
There is an old saying that sums them up perfectly, and it goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Their intentions are good, but their actions are evil.

I don’t think their intentions are always good, either…

Only the Democrats themselves believe that their intentions are good…
Eli says
Joe Biden already forgot that his V.P, Kamala Harris, praised the Marxist BLM as brilliant, a revival of the Global, Black Liberation Movement, while ignoring the violence and devastation. Biden also wants our schools to teach about Islam, so we’ll have more little Jihadists.
gravenimage says
Biden pledges to ‘work with our allies and partners to prevent extremist violence in all forms’
………….
In other words, he considers Trump supporters “extremists” just as he does ISIS…
E T says
Trump 330, retirement for Joe.
OLD GUY says
Sticking your head in the sand results in getting your ass shot off. Biden will and has said anything and everything to appease anyone who can vote. He’s for sale to the highest bidder. The Saudi’s are interested. Iran is all for Biden. I wonder why?
Linde Barrera says
Preventing violence can be behavioral, but making violence is doctrinal to the Quran. Does Biden understand the difference? See verses 8:12 and 9:5 in the Quran, Joe.
