Changing times and Laws, Even the words that actually mark the reality of what is faced.
This article claims to try to take Religion out of all this and the wording. Yet these countries do not have politics nor run their countries without the very religion they serve. Can the American Gov and the leaders here actually be this stupid? According to this they sure can.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's advisers plan to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism" from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counterterrorism officials say.
The change would be a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventive war. It currently states, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."
But the Bush administration struggled with its rhetoric. Muslims criticized Bush for describing the war on terrorism as a "crusade" and labeling the invasion of Afghanistan "Operation Infinite Justice" - words that were seen as religious. He regularly identified America's enemy as "Islamic extremists" and "radical jihadists."
Obama runs the political risk of seeming to adopt politically correct rhetoric |
