    (Reuters) - The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

    The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.

    48 americans died from terrorist attacks from non Muslims, mostly white supremacist or other fanatics since 9/11
    26 americans have died from muslim terrorist attacks since 9/11
    Over 230,000 people around the world have died from muslim terrorists....less than 1% were in America

    but let's not pay attention to those KKK guys anymore eh?

    I already proved to you in another thread your numbers are completely off.

    Really wish they would focus on the democratic terrorists that are destroying the cities.

    The program is, "a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies".

    So while killing is obviously a violent act, I assume, the program includes everything from rape, physical attacks, kidnapping, murder to mass murder.

    Lefties should be ecstatic. There won't be any feds there when you punch you some Nazis.

    that certainly is a strange way to say "zero".

    The CVE program is about prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence. So killing isn't the only thing this program is centered around if that's what you're eluding too in your initial question about protesters. So, again, I wish the CVE program would do better work and focus on the domestic "democratic" terrorists causing violence in the cities they protest.

    Yes, the greatest threat to America. Forget about ISIS, this should be the focus... We will never forget the day that the democratic terrorists made somebody late getting home.
