"ISIS and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad," Trump said in a statement. "These terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the earth, a mission we will carry out with all freedom-loving partners."

King said rhetoric such as this can only harm the United States when it comes to fighting terrorists.

"The larger question … is do we really want to have a war of half the world against the other half of the world?" King asked.

“The larger question … is do we really want to have a war of half the world against the other half of the world?”

His alternate choice is that we all become muslim and bow down to Mecca.

Yes and so do they.

“Independent Sen. Angus King said on CNN Tuesday that Trump’s rush to blame jihadists for the assassination of a Russian diplomat. “We don’t really know the facts so it’s premature to come to a conclusion,” King said. “It appears the attack in Turkey on the Russian ambassador wasn’t a religious attack but was a political one, revenge for what’s going on in Aleppo.””

This statement would appropriately be called INCORRECT.

Just nuke Mecca and Tehran. We’ll see how fast the attacks stop.

“is do we really want to have a war of half the world against the other half of the world”

One “half” is already at war against the rest, but many in the other half refuse to acknowledge it.

the larger larger question is, if a war is already going on, does it do any good to pretend it isn’t?

Agree 100 percent. People like King will be the death of us.

I say, yes, if that's what it takes. It sounds like the senator is naming Islam as the eenemy. He may be right. PC language will not appease the terrorists nor persuade then to abandon their evil goals.

King lives in a world of “Let’s pretend”. Dumb and delusional. Not fit for high office. Would not trust him to babysit a pet.

Didn’t they say something similar about Hitler?

The sad truth is that evil cannot be ignored and eventually you will have to confront it or else cave in and become a slave.

Unless we do face up to the reality that Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity for nearly 1400 years, we will never deal with it.

I’m sure Trump is just waiting for Obama to tell him to “cut it out”.
