REMINDER: It Was John Brennan Himself Who Halted LEO Training on Islam, Jihad.

John Brennan is the person who — after U.S. Muslim groups demanded he do so – “purged” all mention of Islam and jihad from law enforcement counter-terror training materials in 2011.

A chief reason that the Islamic State’s “global reach” has not been reduced is because the U.S. has failed to identify, confront, and oppose the ideology that has enabled it to amass “a large cadre of Western fighters.” That ideology has spread unchecked in the U.S. in large part because Brennan didn’t think it was worth teaching law enforcement about it.

Terror attacks that kill Americans produce budget increases. Charges of Islamophobia are career-ending. Incentives matter.
