White House promotes Muslim help against terrorism

McDonough said Muslim Americans are not the problem, but part of the solution.

Rep Keith Ellison Minnesota Democrat says,

"it is wrong to single out a religion."

"We're concerned about the breadth of this," Ellison said on CNN Sunday. "To say we're going to investigate ... a religious minority, and a particular one, I think is the wrong course of action to take."

Uh, Who is singling out a Religion ?
I hear that these hearings are about Radical Islamists ! Not about Islam in general, just a small portion of Islam that a bunch of idiots are taking to the Extreme, which is dangerous no matter what.

Mr Ellison seems to not understand that Radical Homegrown Islamists, Uh, come from Islam not the Catholic Church, not the local synagogue

Maybe when Muslims quit crying about their precious religion, and start standing up And speaking out against the Radicals that unfortunately come from within their religion, things will be a little different.

Denial is a terrible thing, when it comes to terrorism it is deadly.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With tensions rising in the debate about terrorism and radicalization within the Islamic community, the White House is trying to lay the groundwork for tolerance, cooperation and a universal "American" desire to thwart violent extremism, regardless of religious beliefs.

President Barack Obama sent his deputy national security adviser, Denis McDonough, on Sunday to a Washington-area mosque known for its cooperation with the FBI and its rejection of the al-Qaida brand of Islam.

The timing of the speech was significant, coming just four days before a controversial congressional hearing on Islamic radicalization. Speaking to an interfaith forum of Muslims, Christians, Jews and other faiths, the president's point-man on countering violent extremism was clear: "We're all Americans."

The majority of the recent terror plots and attempts against the U.S. have involved people espousing a radical and violent view of Islam, making it difficult to ignore the role religion plays in this particular threat. But focusing too closely on Islam and the religious motives of these attempted terror attacks also threatens to alienate an entire community that has nothing to do with these violent beliefs.
