| Trump's Islam comments draw attacks as Republicans discover civility | |
| 2016-03-12 | |
| [DAWN] United States Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump came under fire from his rivals on Thursday for saying Muslims hate the US at a debate where the gut-punching attacks of earlier forums gave way to a suddenly civil tone with a serious focus on the issues. Trump, who has voiced skepticism about US military involvement abroad in the past, for the first time said America's effort against the murderous Moslem Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) might require between 20,000 and 30,000 US troops, a number similar to what some Republican hawks have proposed. The CNN-hosted debate at the University of Miami was crucial, coming days before votes in Florida and Ohio that will determine whether US Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Governor John Kasich will be able to continue with their increasingly long-shot candidacies.

| #9 The problem is Trump didn't differentiate those who help, who go out of their way to aid us. There are evil Christians, there are good Muslims. And we have failed those who HAVE helped us, the Kurds, the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, the Sunni Tribes in Al-Anbar. Even the Pakistani doctor who helped us kill Bin Laden. A vast majority hate us. Not just because they don't know any better(which really, they don't), but because they see our leaders abandon those who are our friends and allies. The exact same way our hate for the Establishment of the Republican Party has been nutured and gained strength, so has the Muslims of our country. I'm not saying we shouldn't look at them with suspicion, shouldn't hate the way they execute their culture, or be ready should the time come to eliminate the threat. Quite the opposite, I think we'll end up dropping nukes on a Arab nation in the next 2 decades at the rate we're going. But don't throw away your understanding of the big picture, lest when the (radioactive) dust clear we repeat the mistakes. |

| #7 What I took away from his comments about Islam is that "a lot of it" hates us -- which is nothing but true. CAIR is nothing but the Islamic version of Sinn Fein -- monsters in suits. |

| #5 Truth hurts. It's not just 'we' Americans, it's 'we' Western Civilization. Been that way since the start of the conquest in 622 through the Siege of Vienna, 1683. The first full fledged foreign war of the United States was with the Muslims of North Africa engaged in piracy and slaving of American citizens. It was the success of the European nations to return the favor via colonization in the 19th Century culminating in the demise of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI, that the lie of the 'Religion of Peace' was generated. |
