Obama Admin Removes References of Islam from Terror Training Materials
Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole confirmed on Wednesday that the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive.
“I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security,” Cole told a panel at the George Washington University law school.
The move comes after complaints from advocacy organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others identified as Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror fundraising trial.
In a Wednesday Los Angeles Times op-ed, Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) president Salam al-Marayati threatened the FBI with a total cutoff of cooperation between American Muslims and law enforcement if the agency failed to revise its law enforcement training materials.

It is very ignorant. Next we will have bank robbers demanding they not be called criminals, thieves, or any other unflattering name, all for the sake of PC crap.

I don't have a problem with it. it shouldn't have been that way in the first place.
If you are training for threats, train for threats. Don't train for a particular flavour of threat otherwise you will miss the others. Focus on islamic extremists and next thing you know some other type gets through and causes a major incident.

not really. Lots of Amercians have weapons to defend themselves if American Muslims endanger us.

We’re not in a war against Islam. We’re in a war against terrorism.
Don’t forget, there is such a thing as “Christian terrorism."
