   The U.S. military is guilty of political correctness toward domestic   
   Islamic terror, according to a congressional report made public   
   Wednesday that concludes al Qaeda is using U.S.-based Muslim radicals   
   to plan mass casualty attacks.   
      
   “Homegrown radicalization is now the vanguard of al Qaeda’s strategy   
   to continue attacking the United States and its allies,” said the   
   report on domestic extremism by the House Homeland Security Committee.   
   The report was based on several hearings held by Committee Chairman   
   Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican.   
      
   The report said evidence of the threat comes from recordings made   
   public in Pakistan by the core al Qaeda terrorist group, as well from   
   an English-language magazine produced in Yemen by two American   
   jihadists. Additional evidence came from an American suicide bomber in   
   Somalia who urged Muslims to wage “jihad in America.”   
      
   The report said violent Islamist extremism is “the No. 1 terrorist   
   threat to this nation.”   
      
   Of particular concern, according to the report, is the threat posed by   
   radical Muslims to U.S. military communities. The terror threat to   
   military communities is “severe” and growing. It includes the use of   
   “insiders,” like Maj. Niidal Hassan, the terrorist who carried out the   
   2009 Fort Hood shooting attack that killed 13 people and wounded 29   
   others.   
      
   The report faulted the U.S. military for “political correctness”   
   toward Islam, which the report called a “potentially devastating   
   development” for the security of troops and their families.   
      
   The Obama administration “chose political correctness over accurately   
   labeling and identifying certain terrorist attacks appropriately,   
   thereby denying Purple Heart medals to killed and wounded troops in   
   domestic terror attacks,” the report said.
