No signs of a commission

President Donald Trump said he would create a commission on radical Islam. So far, there's been no visible progress.

We reached out to the White House for an update and did not hear back. In early February 2018, an activist called for Trump to fulfill his promise. A year before that, the policy group Middle East Forum offered a template for establishing such a commission.

Forum director Gregg Roman told us his group had met with White House officials and congressional staff.

"So far, the White House never made the creation of such a commission a priority," Roman said. "We at the Middle East Forum stand ready to assist with the creation of a fair, in depth committee that would protect the rights of minorities, including mainstream Muslims, while combating radical Islamist ideology and the network of radical Islamist organizations that serve as a conveyor belt to terrorism."

For now, we rate this a Promise Broken, but if Trump sets up a commission, we will change the rating.
