I read the whole thing: the entire piece is a screed calling Republicans extremists because they are suspicious that Islam really is not compatible with American life.

Excellent observation.

What is the difference between fascism and islam?

I can only think of one. Islam is wrapped in a cloak of religion.

One of America's two ruling parties is controlled by voters who are ready to turn the government against a religious minority.

No, he doesn't really get it.
That religious "minority's" historical legacy is 1400 years of murder, rape, arson, total destruction and imaginative ways kill and torture men, women and children, and the savage's claim of superiority.

What freakin' right do they (and their ignorant useful idiot enablers) have to claim persecution as a "religion?"

Trump speaks for a plurality of today’s Republicans, and many independents as well.

He left out a bunch of Democrats, which is a thought even more unpleasant to him.

There are billions of Muslims and they are at war with western civilization. They aren’t a minority.

He is free to believe whatever he wants. But it won't change history. Not one whit.

AMERICANS! HO!

OOOAAAH!
