Finally, Official Recognition that Some "Terrorists" are Actually "Jihadists"

The White House just released a new National Counterterrorism Strategy. It marks an important break from past official narratives about enemies foreign and domestic heretofore euphemistically and misleadingly called “terrorists.” 

Notably, it declared: “Americans should be safe to live their lives without the fear of terror attacks, the threat of jihadists, the flooding of our communities with deadly drugs at the hands of foreign narcoterrorists, or violent left-wing extremists who have adopted radical ideologies antithetical to the principles upon which our Republic was founded.” 

Particularly heartening is the acknowledgement that among the “terrorists” we confront are actually “jihadists,” in other words adherents to the totalitarian Islamic doctrine known as sharia that requires them to engage in holy war or “jihad.” The strategy explicitly calls for “protect[ing] Christians, who have been slaughtered at the hands of these Jihadi groups.” 

Praise God!
