So, once everyone realizes Islamic cult is not only evil but a clear and present danger, what next? New Crusade?

Will we as a nation, will the civilized world allow Islam to remain amongst us?

What will it to align the world actively against Islam and any followers or supporters? How many will die before that day?

Latest reports say over 300 dead INCLUDING AMERICANS. This is bad. The US cannot stand idly by while Christians, while Americans are killed.

What will President Trump do?

Will this run on the msm FOREVER like the NZ attack.

And when it does run, it will be equated to that attack and it will be mentioned that all such attacks are heinous blah blah, like they happen in ANYWHERE NEAR EQUAL NUMBERS!!

It’s like saying both muggings by blacks and Jews in NYC are wrong.

It’s TRUE. But the 6 muggings a year by Jews is a LITTLE less devastating than the THOUSANDS committed by other minorities!!

Muslims are you enemy, folks. The only difference is whether or not they want to actively kill you or just subjugate you using the tenants of islam which includes such concepts as taxing non-muslims.

Why choose? Do both.
