Is POTUS correct in using the term "Violent Extremism" instead of Islamic Extremism?

How about "Violent Islamic Extremism" ?

No CPT (Join to see), the President is not correct in generalizing violent acts committed by the followers of the Islamic prophet against non-believers, opposing soldiers in Iraq and Syria who are also Muslim by called it "violent extremism." The despicable acts caused by ISIS, Al Shabab, and lone-wolf Muslims are acts committed in the name of their God. Generally these criminals and terrorists adhere to the Wahhabi doctrine first made "popular" in Saudi Arabia with made more famous by Al Qaeda.

One of the funniest people I ever met was a guy from Lebanon. Most Muslims are just like the rest of us -- they just want to work, eat, be with their families, get ahead. It's only the abhorrent few that ruins it for the rest. So I'm ok with Obama's approach. No reason to piss off the millions of innocents by labeling them with a moniker that isn't accurate.

Unfortunately his comments do not win the hearts and minds of fellow citizens who see the violence associated with Islam outliers as Islamic Extremism.

Honesty is needed to address this problem along with a real plan to address this global influence, not diplomacy with vagueness which has changed nothing for the positive. Call it like it is! He is way too timid to offend any one group of people; well except our police, military, US citizens, etc.

I'll guess cause "Violent Extremism" Sound less racial then "Islamic Extremism",

Of course he is. We don't call that latest theater killing in this Country "Christian" Extremism but I bet that Looney considered himself a "Christian". No it is way to easy to paint one of the 4 Major Faiths with such a Broad Brush.

Will the choice of any terms used make the efforts by terrorists any less than they are already? If people join their efforts based off of what POTUS uses for terms of describing them, in my mind they would have anyway. I'm tired of PC, like really tired of it. I know there's rhymes and reasons for everything, I just wished the same logic was used when homeland security decided we were enough of a threat to list us on their paperwork. Where was the same awareness for being sensitive to how people feel then?

The term is sufficient to make the point. There are 1.3 billion Muslims world wide and using the Muslim extremist rhetoric would give the impression that the U.S. is at war against Islam. He is correct in calling it violent extremism. The simple fact is that this president, no matter what he called it, would be criticized.

You can call dog doo ice cream but it's still dog doo.

From Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Lt. Lockhart: [reading] ... we have a new directive from M.A.F. on this. In the future, in place of "search and destroy," substitute the phrase "sweep and clear." Got it?
Private Joker: Got it. Very catchy.

yes, because we need to address other violent extremism that is non-islamic, and tying this behavior of the KKK for example, of a Timothy McViegh type, etc.. is a focus change we need.
