Department of Homeland Security Goes Further Down the Countering Violent Extremism Rabbit Hole

Aug 14, 2019 12:00 pm By Chris Wright

The Department of Homeland Security is poised to spend $35 million on a new Center of Excellence in Terrorism Prevention and Counterterrorism Research. Universities will apply for grants to develop “multidisciplinary, customer-driven solutions while training the next generation of homeland security experts,” according to the press release announcing the Center. “Once awarded, this COE will […]

Winning: Trump national security strategy restores reference to ‘jihadist’ terror threat

Dec 18, 2017 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

“The primary transnational threats Americans face are from jihadist terrorists and transnational criminal organizations.” At last, reality begins to return to the U.S.’s counterterror strategy, after its removal in 2011, which I detail at length in my book Arab Winter Comes to America. Obama, at the behest of Muslim groups linked to Hamas and the […]

Obama “Countering Violent Extremism” top dog who met with Hamas-linked CAIR hundreds of times resigns

Jul 31, 2017 6:18 pm By Robert Spencer

The entire “Countering Violent Extremism” program is an attempt to divert attention away from Islamic jihad, which it never addresses, and to pretend that “extremism” can arise with equal strength and virulence from any religious group. It needs to be dismantled, and replaced with realistic and honest assessment of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror. […]

DHS awards $10 million in grants to prevent jihad terror recruitment

Jun 26, 2017 1:22 pm By Robert Spencer

They could have flushed this money down the nearest toilet and gotten just as much of a return on their investment as they’re going to get. This money is given out based on the false assumption that Muslims lack jobs and opportunities, and therefore turn to jihad, and can be dissuaded from waging jihad with […]

U.S. Muslim groups, enraged by Trump, reject federal grants to fight “extremism”

Feb 11, 2017 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

These grants are a total waste of money in the first place, as they’re given to organizations that run programs such as youth basketball and job training, on the mistaken assumption that this will persuade young Muslims not to join jihad terror groups and become jihad terror groups. Anyway, the Islamic groups that were taking […]

Trump to recast Obama’s “Countering Violent Extremism” program to focus on the jihad threat

Feb 2, 2017 12:06 pm By Robert Spencer

“The program, ‘Countering Violent Extremism,’ or CVE, would be changed to ‘Countering Islamic Extremism’ or ‘Countering Radical Islamic Extremism,’ the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.” Indeed, but the white supremacist threat has been wildly exaggerated by […]

Robert Spencer: Trump’s History-Changing Vow to Eradicate ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’

Jan 23, 2017 4:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Honest discussion of the truth, not a moment too soon. My latest in PJ Media: President Trump first said it during his inaugural address: We will … unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth. The establishment media has been too involved with comparing […]

Trump team seeks names of officials working to counter “violent extremism”

Dec 24, 2016 1:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“Some career officials said they feared the incoming administration may be looking to undo the work that the Obama administration has done on countering violent extremism.” Let’s hope so! Let’s hope that Trump’s team is requesting these names so that all those who are responsible for the denial and willful ignorance that has hamstrung our […]

9 Steps to Successfully Counter Jihad

Jul 13, 2016 9:42 am By Jamie Glazov

While the Obama administration continues to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to direct American foreign policy and, therefore, to implement “strategies” that render America defenseless in the face of Jihad and stealth Jihad, there are some alternative strategies that have the potential to turn this catastrophic situation around completely in America’s favor. Below are 9 concrete […]

It’s time to ditch the entire “Countering Violent Extremism” strategy

Jul 4, 2016 10:41 am By Robert Spencer

Last week, Senator Ted Cruz’s hearings graphically revealed the true extent of the Obama administration’s politically correct denial and willful ignorance concerning the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat and the ongoing attempts to assert Sharia principles and practices over those of American law and culture. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson in particular demonstrated a […]

Obama’s ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ Program Collapses Into Absurdity

Apr 20, 2016 11:08 am By Robert Spencer

“Obama’s CVE policies were developed in 2011 specifically at the demand of U.S. Muslim groups. Now, the very same Islamic groups that demanded CVE are some of its loudest opponents. They claim that the administration is promoting ‘Islamophobia’ through their programs.” They want no resistance to jihad terror at all — which should be revealing […]

Feds’ counterterror program failing: Hamas-linked CAIR opposes it

Apr 3, 2016 2:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“These programs operate under the assumption that Muslims are a national security threat,” said Haroon Manjlai of the Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations. “They’re highly objectionable.” Even this toothless, politically correct program, which operates on the assumption that if young Muslims are offered jobs and a spot on a basketball […]

Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy

Sep 29, 2015 10:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Why Obama Won’t Call the Jihadis Islamic

Feb 24, 2015 2:23 pm By Robert Spencer

An attempt to explain the mystery, over at FrontPage: Barack Obama aroused controversy over his affinity with Islam yet again in February 2015, when a photo surfaced from the U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in August 2014, showing Obama passing by a group of African delegates with his right index finger raised in a gesture strongly reminiscent […]

Obama: “We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.”

Feb 19, 2015 1:36 pm By Robert Spencer

The world is on fire with Islamic jihad, and so Obama holds a summit on “Countering Violent Extremism” and once again refuses to name the enemy. Remember when he was first elected, and the mainstream media was filled with confident predictions that he would reach out in such warm friendship to the Islamic world that […]

Non-Muslims may be worried and afraid because of jihad terror, but that doesn’t bother the President: he is busy fostering the Islamic supremacist victimhood narrative so indefatigably furthered by groups like the Hamas-linked terror org CAIR.

White House touts Boston’s success in “countering violent extremism”

Feb 18, 2015 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

Boston? Really? Boston is where Obama’s program of “countering violent extremism” has so singularly failed. This article shows that, and there is more. Not long after the Boston Marathon jihad massacre, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) confronted FBI director Robert Mueller: The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15th attacks. If […]

“Radical Islam, Islamic extremism – you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. It doesn’t have an impact on our military posture, an impact on what we call it, on the policies we put in place.” And that’s why the Obama policies are failing. A refusal to define the enemy […]

One of their key recommendations: that the program be independent from the influences of all law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, […]
