Trump is right: Fight against terrorism is battle of ‘good vs. evil’
NY Post ^ | 23 May, 2017 | Michael Goodwin

In his speech in Saudi Arabia, President Trump called on his Muslim audience to unite “in pursuing the one goal that transcends every other consideration. That goal is to meet history’s great test — to conquer extremism and vanquish the forces of terrorism.”

That challenge could have been drama enough for the occasion, but Trump didn’t stop there. He went on to frame the great test as a “battle between good and evil.”

As if to concede the point, evil responded quickly with the savage attack in Manchester, England, targeting innocent children and teenagers, most of them girls, with a nail bomb. Evil is as evil does.

The sickening, celebratory claims of responsibility by the Islamic State underscore the stakes. While it is important to investigators whether the suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, acted alone or had help or even direction from the Islamic State, those are not the most important distinctions in the larger picture.

The evil nature of islam extremism is the question of WHY. What is the proper way to deal with it is the question of MORALITY.

Islam is the evil.

Pretending it isn’t is getting people killed.

The koran says that unbelievers should be killed. That is evil. You are right.

They aren’t pretending. The leftists are purposely lying.

islam is the weapon that leftists governments have chosen to unleash on societies and peoples which they openly hate.

islam is the Horseman of the left.

And the reason that they chose to unleash this horseman upon the societies and peoples which they hate is because, to quote some android from some movie, “Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.”

The left thinks it can employ this agent and then contain it, but they will also be consumed by it.

Good will either win this fight, or this world is going to become Hell.

And at this point, Good doesn’t seem to realize what needs to be done, nor does it have the mettle to do it.

They all gotta go.

The left and its horseman.

I hate having to say this, but President Trump is wrong.

The reason is something called Ummat al-Islamiyah, which means "the community of the faithful". A moslem's first loyalty is to Allah and the Koran, but his second is to the Ummah, his fellow moslems, wherever and whoever they may be.

A "good" moslem will never betray a fellow to the kafir, no matter how bad we may think him.

So this belief that the "moderate" moslems will act against the "extremists" is their midst is a folly founded on a pious hope infused with a lot of ignorance about the nature of Islam. The communities of "moderates" is the sea in which these terrorists swim, and it will never spit them out.

When I was growing up in moslem Africa, I was surrounded by quiet, law-abiding moderates. That same territory is now controlled entirely by Boko Haram. What did the moderates do to stop them? Absolutely nothing. What are they doing now to expel them? Absolutely nothing.

There is only one solution to moslem terrorism: no moslems, no terrorism.

The sad part is that we have to say the battle against terrorism is good v. evil. That should be obvious to everyone, even to terrorists, democrats, and others on the side of evil.

Where Obama and the rest of the Left were bowing to, and supporting terrorists because they wanted to “be polite”, Trump goes into the hornet’s nest and talks about evil and good - what a refreshing change.

This graphic is so accurate.

You can't tell what a person truly believes, would vote for, etc. by their public persona.

Take me for instance, I'd look like an unassuming, middle class, basic b*itch conservative. You'd never know I long for the sounds of helicopter engines and would work feverishly for the first guy that promised them.
