The American Islamic Leadership Coalition is a gathering of more than 25 organizations and leaders (including C. Holland Taylor’s LibForAll) that is broadly representative of moderate Islam here in the United States. Now the outfit has just released its response to the Obama administration’s national strategy for counterterrorism (NSCT).

While praising some aspects of the administration’s strategy, the AILC most significantly notes that the NSCT “focuses narrowly upon al Qaeda as the enemy.” Indeed, it is not clear why the White House continues to identify the terrorist network as the number one threat to U.S. national security.
