Did you know that Obama has banned the term "Islamic radicalism"? It seems that Islamic radicals don't like being called that. Especially offensive to them is this sentence in a document outlining our national security strategy -- "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."
Let's see -- which part of that is in error? Were those guys who flew those planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon militant? Were they Islamic? Were they radicals? Is their ideology (all non-muslims must perish) different from ours? Did these acts occur in the early years of the 21st Century?
Obama says we need to shift away from talking about terrorism and instead talk about health care and science and business start-ups and education. And that's why we have people blatantly leaving car bombs in Times Square.

Gee "banned" is a tough word. Has he not read and understand "Free speech"? Oh yeah, guess he has, you know he is the President. As an American Citizen, and I am extremely honored to be one, I will use whatever terms I choose to describe "radicalism", no matter the race. And, if the shoe fits, shut up and
"wear it". I am not overly concerned with "who" it offends, including him!
