White House: ‘Radical Islamic extremism’ is a Republican ‘political talking point’

It has been clear since the beginning of Barack Obama’s presidency that this administration has a major fear — a strong aversion at the very least — of addressing the problem of radical Islamic terror.  This is never more evident than when every member of the administration refuses to even utter any variation of those three words.

The administration’s refusal to properly identify the enemy is strikingly reminiscent of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, where most characters are in so much fear of the evil Lord Voldemort that they refuse to say his name, instead referring to him as “You-Know-Who” or “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.”

It is as if radical Islamic terror is the administration’s Voldemort, and that by not referring to it by its name they are somehow protected from it.
