HOLMES: Who links terrorism to Islam? Not America - Washington Times: "The Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security created quite a stir last week. Their reports on terrorism failed to make any reference to the Islamist nature of the threat. It struck Sen. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, as a 'glaring omission.' It was.
The Homeland Security report lists as 'Goal 1.1' the need to 'understand the threat' and to 'acquire, analyze and appropriately share intelligence and other information on current and emerging threats.' You'd think that what the terrorists themselves say is motivating them would be on the list of things to 'understand.'
Obviously, the administration omitted it to avoid the appearance that America is waging war on Islam. This is a deep-seated fear of American leaders. Even President George W. Bush went to great lengths to avoid this misperception."
