President Donald Trump is actively working to protect Christians in Nigeria who are being killed and abducted by radical Islamists, while Democrats in Congress are not only denying the religious nature of the violence but framing counterterrorism resources directed at Islamic extremism as Islamophobia. This pattern dates at least to the Biden administration and continues to the present, where political correctness is overriding national security.
When Ilhan Omar was asked directly about jihadist terrorism on Al Jazeera, she stated that Americans “should be more fearful of white men across our country” and called for profiling and monitoring white men, explicitly redirecting a question about Islamic terrorism. In March 2026, following ISIS-inspired attacks inside the United States, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared that “Islamophobia is a cancer that must be eradicated from both Congress and the country” in response to Republicans who were calling out Islamic extremism.
Regarding the ongoing attacks on Christians in Nigeria, ranking House Foreign Affairs Committee member Gregory Meeks and Africa Subcommittee ranking member Sara Jacobs issued a joint statement declaring that “clashes between farmers, many but not all of whom are Christian, and herders are driven by resource scarcity and land competition, not religion alone,” attributing a campaign of violence carried out by groups that explicitly state religious motivations to climate and economics.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken went further, testifying under oath before the House Appropriations Committee on May 22, 2024, that the killings of Christian farmers in Nigeria “have nothing to do with religion,” a statement Congress itself recorded in resolution text as inconsistent with available evidence.
The same pattern runs across multiple Western democracies simultaneously. In the United States, Biden repeatedly declared white supremacy the greatest terrorist threat to the homeland, explicitly naming it above ISIS and al-Qaeda. In Australia, after the ISIS-inspired massacre of Jewish civilians at Bondi Beach, the government said it was going to crack down on both right-wing extremism and Islamist terrorism.
In the United Kingdom, Prevent, the government’s counterterrorism program, systematically redirected resources away from Islamist cases toward right-wing extremism, despite the fact that documentation shows that Islamist terrorism accounts for 67 to 80 percent of all terrorism investigations, arrests, and foiled plots. The program directed referrals and resources toward right-wing cases at rates that bore no relationship to that reality. Officials also suppressed information about grooming gangs, largely Pakistani, for fear of being labeled Islamophobic.
In the United States, the leading sources of information on terrorism are START at the University of Maryland, a Department of Homeland Security Emeritus Center of Excellence; the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point; and the U.S. Intelligence Community’s own Annual Threat Assessment. These sources conduct research and publish reports that inform the U.S. government’s response to terrorism.
All three have ranked Islamic extremist terrorism as one of the top national-security threats for at least a decade. White supremacy is mentioned only once in all four threat assessments compiled under Biden, as an example of homegrown terrorism.
And yet Biden stated publicly, multiple times, that white extremism was the biggest threat, despite the fact that his own intelligence community and terrorism experts were telling him that Islamic extremism was the main threat. Under the Trump administration, the term “white supremacy” does not exist, whereas the 2025 threat assessment contains a section on Islamic terrorism, and the 2026 assessment mentions the term “Islamic terrorism” on the first page.
