WH Censors French President Saying ‘ISLAMIST Terrorism’
2016-04-02
[MRCTV.ORG] The White House website has censored a video of French Pres. Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
saying that "Islamist terrorism" is at the "roots of terrorism."

The White House briefly pulled video of a press event on terrorism with Pres. Obama, and when it reappeared on the WhiteHouse.gov website and YouTube, the audio of Hollande’s translator goes silent, beginning with the words "Islamist terrorism," then begins again at the end of his sentence.

Even the audio of Hollande saying the words "Islamist terrorism" in French have, apparently, been edited from the video.

According to the official White House transcript of Hollande’s remarks, Hollande refers to "Islamist terrorism." The audio of the bold text in brackets is missing from the video -- the only point in the video were the audio is absent:

"We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.

"But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition.] And we note that Daesh [Islamic State] is losing ground thanks to the strikes we've been able to launch with the coalition."

Pres. Obama has come under fire from Republicans for his refusal to say "radical Islam" when discussing terrorism and, again yesterday, he declined to do so.

Obama made three vague mentions of terrorism, citing the "hands of terrorism," the "scourge of terrorism," and "counterterrorism" in Thursday’s press event.
