| #3 I agree its a conscious policy. The hope was that if we could be seen as the strong horse the bulk of Muslims would fall to our side (as long as we didn't offend them by blanketting their entire religion). Now we have pissed away the strong horse image so we will never know if they would have fallen to our side or if they were always on the radical side but too lazy and cowardly to actually do anything about it. |

| #2 IMO it is a conscious policy. What the author doesn't get that this has been the consensus policy of the Western political class since at least 9/11 2001. In fact the very term 'War on Terror' was chosen in order to frame the issue. The enemy is the method 'terror.' By giving in to Muslims' political demands we can show them that they don't need 'terror' to make us compliant. Thus 'terror' is defeated and the war is won. Here's a video where Lindsey Graham is articulating this consensus policy that the article correctly describes but falsely attributes to the Obama administration alone. |

| #1 That's a lot of words to dance around an issue and try to make it a conscious well thought out policy. BS on that. They don't want to call it ISLAMIC because that would contradict the narrative that makes Islam the religion of peace and Christianity the religion of fanatics. |
