• The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent out a newsletter that included guidelines to avoid “problematic phrases” regarding Islamic terrorism.
  • Some of the problematic phrases include, but are not limited to: “Salafi-Jihadist,” “Jihadist,” “Islamic-Extremist,” “Sunni/Shia-Extremism,” and “Radical Islamists.”
  • The initiative aims to refine language used in counterterrorism discussions.
