Obama Launches 'Domestic Terrorism' Task Force Targeting US Muslims

The U.S. Government announced new initiatives to combat international and
domestic terrorist groups.
White House officials announced Friday the launch of a new counterterrorism
task force in order to combat international and domestic terror groups.
"The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice will
announce the establishment of the Countering Violent Extremism Task Force, a
new organization that will integrate and harmonize domestic CVE efforts here
at home," according to a White House press release.
The Obama administration announced that the newly established entity will be
in charge of coordinating all of the government's domestic
counter-radicalization activities and also function as a mechanism for
transmitting new ideas, grants and other resources to community groups
across the country.
The latest announcement builds on a previous counterterrorism approach,
which was launched in 2011 in order to prevent violent extremists from
recruiting and radicalizing U.S. residents in Muslim communities.
The new counterterror campaign will specifically target Muslim communities
in efforts to thwart the influence of propaganda promoted by the Islamic
State and other Muslim extremists groups.
According to a new bipartisan congressional report more than 250 Americans
have joined or attempted to fight with extremists in Syria and Iraq. The
bipartisan investigation concluded that in almost 80 percent of cases, U.S.
foreign fighter aspirants were influenced by online Islamic State Group
propaganda.
However, according to studies by the University of Maryland Study of
Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, between 2000 and 2013 the vast
majority of attacks in the homeland were carried out by non-Islamist
extremists. Yet 100 percent of federal CVE efforts are aimed at Muslim
communities.
