Justice Department Announces New Program to Counter ‘Violent Extremism’ — but Website Excludes References to Islam, Muslims
From the Blaze:
With Islamic State threats mounting and at least 100 Americans known to have traveled overseas to train or fight with the brutal terror group, Attorney General Eric Holder this month announced a new program designed to identify and root out sources of “violent extremism” across the nation.
The problem? It isn’t a new idea.
National security experts say the concept has already proven to be “a complete failure.” And lacking from a description of the program is any reference to radical Islam.
“These programs will bring together community representatives, public safety officials, religious leaders, and United States attorneys to improve local engagement; to counter violent extremism; and – ultimately – to build a broad network of community partnerships to keep our nation safe,” Holder said. (Alarm going off!!! Alarm going off!!!)
On the surface, it sounds reasonable. Shouldn’t we embrace every effort to combat homegrown terror? Jonathan Gilliam, a former Navy SEAL and former FBI special agent said yes.
But, he told TheBlaze, programs like these get muddled because the politicians at the top of the food chain stop listening to the operators on the ground. “I’m just not sure how much more this program could fail.”
“How can you target something without a scope, without proper sights?” he said. The former special operator finds it especially frustrating that the Justice Department refuses to allow monitoring of mosques where known terrorists gather.
“When political correctness becomes your scope you probably aren’t aimed at the right target anymore,” Gilliam told TheBlaze.
