Internal Docs Show Entire Intelligence Community Warned To Avoid 'Problematic Phrases' On Islamic Terrorism

DW INVESTIGATES: Top intel agency's DEI newsletter states that terms such as 'Jihadist' and 'Radical Islamists' must be avoided

By Spencer Lindquist

An internal newsletter sent by diversity, equity, and inclusion officials in the Biden administration's top intelligence agency warns personnel not to use "problematic phrases" when discussing Islamic terrorism and foreign adversaries such as China, an internal document obtained by The Daily Wire reveals.

The unclassified newsletter from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, called "The Dive" and exclusively obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by The Daily Wire, argues in its cover story that the intelligence community needs to focus on "changing terminology related to counterterrorism," because "words matter."

"This article is about one of our goals: disentangling Islam from words and phrases used to discuss terrorism and extremist violence," writes the author of the article, whose name was redacted from the document released to The Daily Wire. The article declares that it's trying to remove "certain phrases to identify international terrorism threats that are hurtful to Muslim-Americans."

"Some of the problematic phrases include, but are not limited to: 'Salafi-Jihadist,' 'Jihadist,' 'Islamic-Extremist,' 'Sunni/Shia-Extremism,' and 'Radical Islamists.'"

Note that "Radical Islamists" and "Islamic-Extremists" are words created for the express purpose of isolating violent jihadis from Islam. That is, those words are created to stress that most of Islam is not extremist, and that we're only concerned with the minority of "radical" or "extremist" Islamists.

But these DEI Terrorists have decided that our attempt to spare the feelings of Muslims is inadequate, and we'll just have to stop associating Islamism with Islamic terrorism altogether.

Maybe we can blame it on MAGA? That seems to be the plan.

The article is part of the newsletter created by ODNI's Intelligence Community Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Office and sent out to personnel throughout the Intelligence Community, which includes the country's most powerful executive agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as intelligence components within each branch of the military.

The newsletter was published just months after Islamic Hamas terrorists murdered roughly 1,200 Israelis during the October 7th terrorist attack. Meanwhile, the United States has experienced three consecutive year-over-year increases in border encounters with those on the terror watch list amid an unprecedented border crisis that's resulted in about 9 million nationwide encounters and 1.7 million estimated gotaways since Biden took office.

The newsletter states that the DEI office took guidance from the Muslim community when considering alternative terms.

"We took great efforts to engage with the Muslim community, academics, and members of our constituency across the country," it reads. "In July 2023, we invited a renowned Islamic scholar, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf of Zaytuna College, to speak."

Renowned Islamic Scholar! Is that like an Austere Religious Scholar, by any chance?
