Obama Administration Slow to Cite Islamic Extremism, but Isn’t Afraid to Point Out Domestic Right-Wing Terror Threats | TheBlaze.com

Obama Administration Slow to Cite Islamic Extremism, but Isn’t Afraid to Point Out Domestic Right-Wing Terror Threats | TheBlaze.com:

"The existence of the report was revealed just as the Obama administration has faced criticism that it’s going out of its way to cite radical Islamic extremists as a significant source of terrorism around the world. The White House and federal agencies have argued there is nothing Islamic at all about these terror groups, and that the U.S. should instead treat it as a perversion of that religion.

The administration held a summit this week on how to counter extremist violence, and insisted there “no profile” on the type of person who might turn to violence, in the face of numerous questions about whether the risks are high among Muslim populations. Instead, officials have said terror risks can come from anywhere at all."
