The Scope of Our Problem
National Review Online ^ | 3-24-2016 | JAY NORDLINGER

Posted on 03/24/2016 7:46:21 AM PDT by Citizen Zed

Nowhere is Obama more misguided, I think, than in his understanding of the scope of the Muslim problem. Listen to him: “There is a violent, radical, fanatical, nihilistic interpretation of Islam by a faction — a tiny faction — within the Muslim community that is our enemy, and that has to be defeated.”

I grant you that a tiny portion — a teeny-tiny portion — of Muslims carry out atrocities: fly planes into buildings and so on. If that were the extent of our problem, we would have a happily manageable problem.

But a huge portion of Muslims either cheer on, defend, excuse, or don’t mind the tiny portion. And that is our problem.

After 9/11, on television, I saw those hijab-wearing women, all over the Muslim world, ululating their lungs out, more thrilled than they would be if their son won the Nobel Peace Prize.

There are a lot of those women (not to mention the men). They would probably never murder anyone, with their own hands. But when others do — they ululate their brains out. Or quietly approve. Or don’t mind terribly.

You get the picture.

Why was Salah Abdeslam, from the Paris attacks, able to hide out for so long in that Brussels suburb? Because his neighbors were his fellow terrorists and murderers? No. Because they sympathized.

That is our problem.

Doing similar things for 1400 years, no reason yet to change.

As of January 2017:

Hillary? Open arms and kissing the cheeks of our sworn enemies.

Bernie? Too busy giving out free stuff.

Trump? He be making the best deals with all our sworn enemies.

Ted? Increase police surveillance and security checks at all the borders.

up in a jewish kindergarten.

Ignore reality much?

Trump is the candidate that made immigration a real issue in this election cycle.

Trump is the one who said we should stop Muslim immigration, and not bring any over from Syria.

Cruz is pretty much on board. But to claim that Trump is not, is a misrepresentation.

If you were given 1,000 candy bars and told that ten of them were deadly poison, how many would you eat? Islam delenda est.

All muslims are taught to hate, harm, kill and conquer unbelievers. This is a fact, not some screwy interpretation by a fraction of muslims.

Unbelievers and islam are not compatible and cannot coexist together. By their own teachings they will never assimilate. Understand and act on this and most of the problem is solved.

Ignore the truth much?

Trump has never met a deal he did not want to jack up and get the most out of, which means as president he will put more of his energy into the deal than noticing that he is supposed to be working for us.

Obama isn't misguided. He is a traitorous Muslim.

“Trump has never met a deal he did not want to jack up and get the most out of, which means as president he will put more of his energy into the deal than noticing that he is supposed to be working for us.”

Except, by getting the best deal, he will be getting the best deal for us. There have been many successful businessmen who wanted to go down in History as patriots who saved their country.

Ego is a powerful force.

Trump wants to leave a viable country for his children and grandchildren. He has plenty of wealth already.

More importantly, those women (and men) “ ululating their lungs out” also contribute to Islamic ‘Charities’ which, in turn, support Jihad. And they provide cover and havens for the Jihadists when the are plotting.
