World Tribune — As Obama era looms, Gates drops 'Islamist' from characterization of terrorism

"The State Department and Department of Homeland Security recently issued guidelines for U.S. government officials that said American Muslim groups had recommended not using “jihad” or Islamic extremism in labeling Muslim extremist violence in order not to offend Muslims."

...State and DHS reports claiming that the use of Islamic terms in describing terrorists was offensive speech and was opposed by some U.S. Muslim groups.

This is so stupid! It can only be understood by reading the last part of the article: Several Democrats in recent weeks have said Gates should stay on if Barack Obama wins the presidential election, an appeal that has not been rejected by Gates, according to a Pentagon spokesman.

Political correctness is the only thing that is pushing this along...and political advancement too.
