Obama sidesteps 'radical Islam' in quest for alternative explanations for terrorism

President Obama defended his refusal to name "radical Islam" as a threat by saying he didn't want to legitimize terrorist claims to a religious war, but critics say it is part of a pattern of denial and deception when the administration explains its dealings with the Muslim world.

The knee-jerk decision to redact references to Islam in the Orlando shooter transcripts was the latest attempt by the Obama administration to edit or hide information about Muslims or Islamic governments.

Similar moves began as soon as Mr. Obama took office with the deletion of "radical Islam" from the government's anti-terrorism playbook and was repeated from classifying the Fort Hood shooting as workplace violence to blaming the attack in Benghazi, Libya, on a YouTube video and dismissing the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria as the "JV team."

The same mindset appeared to be at play when the Obama administration brokered secret side agreement to the nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran and then erased video of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland denying it at a 2013 press conference.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry vowed to get to the bottom of who edited the agency's videotape....

...The administration's quest for alternative explanations for terrorism came into sharp focus after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack by heavily armed militants on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, which killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

A week later, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan E. Rice blamed the attack on a spontaneous riot by Muslims outraged by a YouTube video that mocked the Prophet Muhammad.

Mr. Obama condemned the video in a speech to the United Nations, calling it "crude and disgusting."

"The United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity," he said two weeks after the Benghazi attack....

The families of the American victims said Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, personally pledged that the U.S. government would bring those responsible for the video to justice. Mrs. Clinton, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, denies those assertions.

People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.
