Trump To Reportedly Focus Counter-Extremism Effort On Radical Muslims.
by Tyler Durden.
Despite Turkey's Erdogan complaining that "the term 'islamic terror' upsets muslims",
it appears President Trump is doubling down on it as Reuters reports the administration
wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies
so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism.
With somewhat ironic timing, after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says in joint
press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, that the term "Islamist terror" upsets
Muslims, Reuters reports that five people briefed on the matter confirm that:
The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic
Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no
longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings
in the United States.
Such a change would reflect Trump's election campaign rhetoric and criticism of former
President Barack Obama for being weak in the fight against Islamic State and for refusing
to use the phrase "radical Islam" in describing it.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for attacks on civilians in several countries.
The CVE program aims to deter groups or potential lone attackers through community partnerships
and educational programs or counter-messaging campaigns in cooperation with companies such
as Google and Facebook.
Some proponents of the program fear that rebranding it could make it more difficult for the government
to work with Muslims already hesitant to trust the new administration, particularly after
Trump issued an executive order last Friday temporarily blocking travel to the United
States from seven predominantly Muslim countries.
Still, the CVE program, which focuses on U.S. residents and is separate from a military
effort to fight extremism online, has been criticized even by some supporters as ineffective.
Some Republicans in Congress have long assailed the program as politically correct and ineffective,
asserting that singling out and using the term "radical Islam" as the trigger for many
violent attacks would help focus deterrence efforts.
Others counter that branding the problem as "radical Islam" would only serve to alienate
more than three million Americans who practice Islam peacefully.
Hoda Hawa, director of policy for the Muslim Public Affairs Council, said she was told
last week by people within DHS that there was a push to refocus the CVE effort from
tackling all violent ideology to only Islamist extremism.
"That is concerning for us because they are targeting a faith group and casting it under
a net of suspicion," she said.
As Reuters concludes, in a meeting last Thursday attended by senior staff for DHS Secretary
John Kelly, government employees were asked to defend why they chose certain community
organizations as recipients of CVE program grants, said the source, who requested anonymity
because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
Although CVE funding has been appropriated by Congress and the grant recipients were
notified in the final days of the Obama administration, the money still may not go out the door, the
source said, adding that Kelly is reviewing the matter.
