Just imagine if the idiot George W. Bush had declared actual war on Islam, closed hundreds of radical mosques in America, banned all foreign funding for mosques in the U.S., funded anti-Muslim operations worldwide, instead of taking his shoes off in a filthy Brotherhood mosque while the WTC still smoldered, calling Islam a religion of peace, trusting Pakistan, giving the Saudis a pass, continuing the Arab-Israeli “peace process”, using a soft hand with Islamists in Iraq like Al Sadr, etc? He had the whole world behind him, and blew it.
You are absolutely correct. We could have sent islam back to the desert. Instead, we ended up with a muslim president.
