Trump's son ( who is pretty much running his campaign) asked John Kasich if he'd like to be in charge of domestic & foreign policy, while Trump is in charge of "Making America Great Again" He and his family are a group of grifter charlatans. It is scary to think he could win this, but someone else will primarily be pulling the strings which is what scares me. Who will be the Puppeteer?
The anti-Islam hysteria in America is unfounded, what is happening here is nothing like Europe, or in particular the UK. Muslims are by far a minority in America and they DO try to integrate despite this being a country of Christian zealots. I can't say I've witnessed the same during my 22 years living in England in fact I've witnessed the opposite and also fell victim to plenty of racism by a self-segregated community.
There's a cognitive bias in place, that anyone with anything critical to say about Islam is immediately admonished as "hateful" or that good old word that has now lost its power "racist". However any amount of scrutiny will clearly show what a shit shower religion as whole is creating across the globe.
Any pious person that, allows a minority to hi-jack their belief, radicalize it shouldn't be standing back with their hands up saying " Not me" The problem is inherent in the culture and that's where the issue needs to be tackled.
To elaborate a tad on why SA won't do anything, this strict wahhabism that became radicalised, is indigenous to Saudi Arabia.
To ask a Muslim to kill another Muslim at the behest of a western Infidel?
I strongly urge people to read about religion, especially Semitic religions and their metamorphosis through time.
Also, if outside the USA. Don't worry about Trump, at least not yet.
Completely agree with this. The US really doesn't have a Muslim problem like Trump is continually insinuating. There will always be extremists that present a problem for any country but the "breeding grounds" of extremism like you see in Belgium, France and to a lesser degree the UK do not really exist over here. I saw a news story last night where the Muslim community in LA held a protest and prayer session to oppose the Jihadis and all they stand for under the Muslim banner. It was well covered and joined by other faiths from what I could see. That has to start to happen in Europe if we are ever going to combat the rhetoric and brainwashing that goes on, bomb will not achieve that ultimately.
As regards Trump, I still don't think he will win the election. There shouldn't be a minority or woman in the US who should vote for him after what he has said about just about all of them at some point. The attack ads on him must be so easy to put together, doesn't even need a voice over, just let him do the talking!!!
