| Democratic Senate hopeful: Up to 20 percent of Muslims want caliphate |
| 2015-12-11 |
| [POLITICO] A prominent Democratic congresswoman and Senate candidate said Thursday that up to 20 percent of Muslims want to establish an Islamic caliphate and would use "terrorism" to achieve that goal. Rep. Loretta Sanchez said Muslims seeking a caliphate are willing to use terrorism and violence to impose their views on the Western world. "We know that there is a small group, and we don't know how big that is -- it can be anywhere between 5 and 20 percent, from the people that I speak to -- that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible," Sanchez said on "PoliticKING with Larry King." "They are not content enough to have their way of looking at the world, they want to put their way on everybody in the world," she said. "And again, I don't know how big that is, and depending on who you talk to, but they are certainly -- they are willing to go to extremes. They are willing to use and they do use terrorism." |

| #10 Global Communism or Global Caliphate, the future OWG-NWO aka Space Govt-Order than no American = Amerikan has voted for can fergit about going into deep space for trade and colonization, let alone escaping Solar-led GWCC. Muslim Perts-Clerics themselves have said Islam andor Radical Islam doesn't believe Humanity should leave Earth to explore Space - Humanity perhaps has a better chance wid Communism, but given Communism's histoire wid massive bureacratic entanglements resulting in shoddy products-n-services going into Space is likely going to involve protractively long timelines + too-slow key tech improvements or innovations that won't satisfy many, + may still end up cutting too close to Solar variances for comfort. |

| #9 The 5% to 20% are those who want to establish totalitarian theocracy by all means including terrorism. This does not include those who want totalitarian theocracy but reject the instrument of terrorism. IOW significantly more than "5% to 20%" of Muslims want to abolish Western democracy and institute Islamic totalitarian theocracy. |

| #8 Loretta doesn't want any challenges to her people. I'll give her credit for having good survival instincts but I'm afraid she remains a socialist at heart who would turn America into a Third World country, just not a Muslim Third World country. |

| #6 Many on the left and some on the right seem O.K. with supporting the Islamics in their quest. According to them global warming/climate change is the major threat. They are also blaming guns as a threat and not those whose hands they are in such as the crazies, the Islamics and a corrupted government. They want all the guns and they believe then, we will all live in their left-wing socialist utopia. Sounds like a friggin nightmare. |

| #5 The problem is they want a world-wide caliphate, that looks a lot like ISIS. They are not content with the mini-version in the levant right now. |

| #4 Candidates say a lot of things during an election year. I wonder if Sanchez really believes what she is saying. One has to worry about a group that has a bent on world domination and a religion which says it is O.K. to lie to infidels. |
