Obama Commands ‘Radical Islam’ be Replaced With ‘Violent Extremism Based on a Warped View of Islam’
The Obama administration is so upset with how the media is portraying Islam that they’ve announced a new edict that we must not use the terms “radical Islam” or “Islamic extremism,” but must now use the politically correct euphemism of “violent extremism based on a warped view of Islam.” No seriously, they said this.
Also @PressSec says US prefers phrase "violent extremism based on a warped view of Islam" to "Islamic extremism" or "radical Islam."

Coincidentally enough, an ATF agent a few days ago opined that Obama should do exactly what they just did – command Americans to change their language to protect Islam.
