Did someone say CVE? New FBI Counter Extremism Site Fails to Mention Islam. Worse, ‘Islamism’

Nazis, Nazism. A distinction to subtle for my tired brain. But there you have it. One is used to the idea that our various governments have created a false dichotomy of Islam, the alleged religion of peace which we could all learn a great deal from, which is why they haven’t advanced in 1400 years except for things forced on them by us, or that they stole. and ‘Islamism’ the artifice created to try and explain to people why when muslims do things purely islamic that they justify with the most authoritative quotes from the most recognized scriptures and which is utterly abhorrent to us, we can attribute it to a hijacked version of islam called, ‘Islamism’, which never occurred before in the 1400 barbaric and ruthless years of islamic history.

The FBI has launched a new website to counter extremism, but it has been stripped of references to Islamist extremism or Islam.

Titled “Don’t be a Puppet,” the site tries to deconstruct some of the motivating factors that lead people into extremism. It’s aimed for use in high schools or other programs for teenagers.

The website was originally slated to launch in November 2015, but did not, following criticisms from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). At the time, CAIR expressed concerns about a new FBI “countering violent extremism” (CVE) online program that would make teachers an extension of law enforcement and may stigmatize and increase bullying of Muslim students.”

Several community organizations told The New York Times they thought the website “focuses almost entirely on Islamic extremism.”

The site was then put on hold, eventually launching in February 2016.

According to The Clarion Project, where the above text comes from, the FBI site was scrubbed of Islam due to Muslim Brotherhood pressure via CAIR. But for those that haven’t seen Stephen Coughlin’s material on the Obama policy of ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ it may shed a little more thorough light on why there is no mention of the most significant motive for contemporary terror by a very large factor at this time.

To understand how the CVE may factor into this at least as much as CAIR does, here is Stephen Coughlin explaining what it is and how it works.

Thanks Richard for the inspiring article. 

 

Stephen Coughlin’s new paper on the CVE, ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ strategy for winning the war for Islam

This is dense reading but as this site refers to the CVE very often, and as its an excellent frame of refrence to have when watching the news, trying to figure out why you simply cannot find certain factual things online which you know took place and used to be online but you can find all sorts of things that are, or should be illegal perhaps, this offers a model of understanding. But its a lot bigger than that as well

You can download it here.

I will also add it to the sidebar as a permanent place to make it available.

In honour of the title of the paper:

Q&E With Stephen Coughlin from the Ottawa Brief.

Sometimes the Question and answer session can be more interesting than the presentation. Especially if you edit out the people who try and give their own lectures. In this case it is at least a tie. Below the Q&E I embedded the video Maj. Coughlin refers to in one of his answers which took place in Warsaw in May of 2015

The OSCE event

Stephen Coughlin in Ottawa Canada part II

Once again, there are what appear to be throw-away remarks in this clip which contain a great deal of wisdom and from which, a great deal of info can be extracted. Watching more than once and careful thought bears fruit.

Part I of this presentation can be found here

Stephen Coughlin in Ottawa: Part I

This is the first 11 minutes of his brief in Ottawa. It will take a lot of time to get the whole thing done and I think its important to get as much out there as I can, quickly, so I am going to publish it in sections, picking start point where the previous one ends and end points at whatever the logical end point is for the context of what is said. This means a section could be a few minutes or perhaps 25. But I will post as quickly as able. Tonight I may get part II done as well.

The thing is about this one, some things are put out there almost like throw away remarks but are of great importance. Sometimes you don’t get the full impact till the 3rd go around, or at least I didn’t. One example is where Maj. Coughlin mentions how some Somali diplomats are upset that the US has training camps for muslim terrorists who then go do damage in Somalia and which would warrant and receive a US launched drone event if those camps where in the Maghreb or the Middle East.

In any case, here is the first part. Enjoy.
