Group: Trump Should Apologize for Saying 'Islam Hates Us'
AC News ^ | March 10, 2016 | Jill Colvin, AP

Posted on 03/10/2016 8:15:05 PM PST by Innovative

A leading Muslim civil rights group is calling on GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to apologize for his claim that "Islam hates us."

In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired Wednesday night, Trump was asked whether he thinks Islam is at war with the West.

"I think Islam hates us," Trump responded. "There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us."

The statement drew swift condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which called on Trump to apologize for the comment, as it has in response to other comments Trump has made.

I written this before: Trump will do well as long as he doesn’t apologize for telling the truth.

"There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it."

The bottom of it is ....belief in and adherence to the Koran.

Trump needs to turn the question:

Does Islam hate Israel? We stand with Israel!

BTW, I thought his answer tonight including how women are disadvantaged in Islam contrary to our values was smart. It exposes another portion of the PC defense of Islam.

Here is what Trump needs to do though with the word "hate". He needs to exchange it with "enemy". Is the west the "enemy" of Islam? Is Israel the "enemy" of Islam? Is the US the "enemy" of Islam? Is Christianity the "enemy" of Islam?

Muslims can’t stand the truth. No wonder Democrats like them.

Dear Muslim “Group”

You make up less than 1% of the US population. This is an election for President, and a lot more people are NOT Muslim and many of them agree with Trump.

So piss off.

People of the USA

The next President (Trump or Cruz) should officially classify CAIR as a terrorist org.

Even the UAE has done that.

Islam hates us...get used to it....and it includes virtually of them...we don’t believe in Allah,shirea law, we do believe in freedom (which they despise) we actually appreciate and love our women, we insist that girls get an education and don’t live their lives in a pillowcase.

To Islam: Stop killing us, and we all will stop hating you. But, It’s sort of a deal breaker to whine on TV, and dance in the streets when one of you kills lots of us.

no apologies are in order. anyone who blows you up, murders you and your families and friends, knifes you in the public square.... and keeps doing it day after day, year after year......century after century....is a Muslim . See their damned Koran and Hadiths. The nice nice friendly verses date back they say to the beginning of Mo’s career when he was, well, nicer. But the war-making chapters date to his later life...after he became a paid mercenary and war raider...and Islam teaches (quite understandably) that the later parts supersede the nice nice earlier verses. Attack and conquer the infidels!!!!!
Case closed.
