That was copied from Flynn’s book “Field of Fight.”

Reforming Islam would be like trying to reform Nazism.

You are right - it must come from within. Islam is fractious an fragmented. There isn’t anyone other than Trump who has the courage, the moral authority and power to force Muslims to unite and reform, or else...

I don't see how it can be reformed!

Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.

Did Luther push Catholicism towards reform?

Well there is a flaw. It is a sort of ancient tribalism, and not quite genuine.

He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.

Genesis 16:12

There are basically two reasonable approaches in dealing with the Middle East: destroy Mecca (causes a systematic collapse of Islam), or glass the entire Middle East (many argue that the destruction of Mecca would cause the adherents of Islam to simply establish a new violent cult).

General MacArthur wanted to ‘reform’ communism; but our leaders held him back.

Maybe that’s why Islam may truly just be the Antichrist religion.

Well; according to OUR Holy Book...


 
      
 

These are the only places that antichrist is mentioned.
 
 
 
1 John 2:18
  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
 
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist —denying the Father and the Son.
 
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
 
2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist .
 


SO; does Islam fit the description?

In a 3 December 1973 article in Time magazine, Truman was quoted as saying in the early 1960s:

I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals.

If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail.[132]

Yes. MOHAMMEDANISM fits the description of Antichrist to
a “t”. Winston Churchill called a spade a spade. Guess
that’s why HUSSEIN OBAMA returned the bust of Churchill
to England. Islam even sports a fake “Jesus” to fool the
gullible.

All NAZIS understood was FIRE returned by the ALLIES during
WWII in answer to their blazing guns and cannons. We’ve
had MORE than enough of MUSLIMS beheading and suicide
bombing our innocent people (who THEY regard as NOTHING
and as GOING TO HELL.) Now, they’ve taken to using KNIVES,
probably to delay things until a new President can be
sworn in. I think HUSSEIN OBAMA has sent the orders down
from headquarters to cool it until HE gets out of office.
They’re making HIM look real bad and he’s also having to
LIE LIKE A DOG, calling Jihadist attacks “workplace
violence”. The American people have been like NED in the
THIRD READER too long. WAKE UP AND TELL HUSSEIN TO GET
OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE Jan. 20th, or earlier IF he can’t
get his Islamic troops under control. Many people had him
figured out way back in 2008; now more do as well.

...actively paints a picture of Muslims in the West victimized by supposed Islamophobia.

A phobia is an unfounded, unwarranted or unreasonable fear. Since it is neither unreasonable, unwarranted nor unfounded to fear a system which demands that you be dominated, enslaved or killed if you decline to embrace it, Islamophobia does not exist.

What about those that are already here, and what about those that are converting, or have converted to Islam?

All non-citizen Muslims must be deported. All citizen Muslims must be kept under constant surveillance.

Even a paranoid might have some REAL enemies!

I dont think so. Islam and its authority driven culture won’t permit change or introspection. Individuals can change but a a whole. Nope.
