Almost every US president that I can remember (and I remember Jimmy Carter) has attacked Muslim countries in varying degrees, from bombing runs like Clinton and Obama were fond of, to full-blown invasions like both Bushes preferred.
A big problem we face in today's world is Islamic terror. We should not be denying this, but for some reason, we are. Suicide bombings, vehicle attacks like we've seen in Europe, military attacks, etc. This is not just a problem in western countries, either, for there are these kinds of attacks in Muslim countries regularly that we don't hear about in our news media. When it happens in London, or Boston, or Paris, or anywhere that isn't close to a place with -stan or -bad at the end of the name of a nearby city, several things happen. First, the board here pronounces it a false flag. The news media reports everything it can, without checking anything (which is why we get so many discrepancies in the stories. You can actually watch this happen in real time. The media doesn't know shit, if you'll pardon my language. Stop paying attention to anything they say.) And finally, the politicians come out and tell us that Islam is a religion of peace and that these terror attacks do not reflect Islam. Muslims start telling us that these terrorists aren't real Muslims, and that the Quran says that all life is precious. You can tick these things off on your fingers as they occur, because we have gone through this dozens of times in the last few years.
I follow a lot of middle eastern news sources and there are almost constant updates on large attacks that never make it on the radar over here. Five people dead in London. Lord almighty! Light a candle! Change your Facebook profile to the colours of that nation's flag and for the love of humanity, #PrayForWhoeverItWasThatJustGotAttacked. You know what I mean, right?
But on any given day there could be dozens killed in Afghanistan, Turkey or Iraq, and we never hear about it. Twenty people were killed just last month in a suicide attack in Kabul, but I don't remember any vigils. Fifty were killed by a suicide bomber last year in Turkey, but there wasn't round the clock coverage on CNN. And on it goes. The point is that Islamic terror is undoubtedly a thing, and it's much, MUCH worse in Islamic countries. To deny that it exists, or believe that it's all just false flags, or that the people who are committing these things are just a small radical fringe is not doing justice to reality.
So I have two questions:
First, those who deny that Islamic terror is actually a thing that exists and needs to be dealt with, how do you account for the years and years of radical Islamic terror that has been taking place in the middle east, for the imams who preach this evil brand of Islam, and for the thousands and thousands of young Muslim men and women who have come from all over the world to fight for ISIS and other Islamic terror groups? Is this all an Illuminati front? Are all these radical Muslims Mossad agents? Please walk me through what YOU think is really going on.
Second question, for those who don't like what Trump is doing: If the program up until now by American presidents has been to bomb and invade, while at the same time repeating the mantra "religion of peace, religion of peace", why wouldn't you support a US president whose policy is not to kill indiscriminate numbers of Muslims in the middle east, but to identify the radical terrorists who undoubtedly exist among the innocent followers of Islam in those places, and prevent them from coming to America, too? If America is a place worth emigrating to -- because it's safe and prosperous, and a good place to start a new life -- why would you not support a program and a president that intends to keep it that way?
I mean, all we hear is that Trump's immigration policy is racist, anti-Muslim, etc, but no one ever addresses why anyone even wants to come to America. Do you think it's maybe because they can have a much better chance at life in the US than they can wherever it is they are coming from? Would they prefer, do you think, that America become just another Sunni vs Shia battleground, like most of the middle east has become? Please explain why keeping terrorists out of the US is a bad thing.
