CNN’s Carol Costello spoke Friday with Asra Nomani, a Muslim woman who co-founded the Muslim Reform Movement and voted for Donald Trump. This week, Nomani wrote a much-criticized Washington Post article titiled: I'm a Muslim, a woman and an immigrant. I voted for Trump. "I believe in progressive values but I do believe that we have a liberal honor brigade nowadays that is basically shutting up and silencing people who disagree with them," Nomani said. About her vote, she said: "Even now the idea of speaking out as somebody who voted for Trump is earning me all sorts of lovely labels like 'idiot' and 'f***er' and all these other ideas that I think violate liberal values of free speech and self-determination. So I spoke out because I also believe we have to stand up for the dignity of all people and Trump voters are human beings, too." "I don't fear Donald Trump and I don't fear the policies that he is talking about. What I fear is there is an extremist interpretation of Islam that is spilling blood on the streets of our world," she also said. CAROL COSTELLO, CNN: A lot of people say that you are courageous for going public in the Washington Post with your thoughts. Why did you think it was so important? ASRA NOMANI: I felt like this entire election year, we have just silenced so many people. I am a happy liberal. I believe in progressive values. But I do believe that we have a liberal honor brigade nowadays that is basically shutting up and silencing people who disagree with them. We see them marching in the streets right now because they don't like the election result. And unfortunately, whenever anybody would speak up, we were ridiculed or chastised.

I wish her luck, but her co-religionists will kill her before they allow her to reform Mad Mo’s deranged cult.

Americans of every stripe and color have nothing to fear in an America under President Trump.

Same for me except well ... Muslims, I dunno, I dunno. I have a lot of international experience with them and although they can appear friendly and agreeable, they are ultimately liars.

In fact, a business associate of mine who also had a lot of experience with them once humorously quipped “All Muslims are liars except during Ramadan when they are required to be truthful. The problem is they vanish during Ramadan, you can’t find them!”.

Churchill had them pegged even better:

“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled—the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

To me, the recent emergence of radical Islam has been fostered by the takeover of oil production and its technology, and the bounty that it brought. Take away its oil revenue and radical Islam has no choice but to go quiet and dormant. In our United States, the Bakken formation alone has proven reserves more than 10X that of Saudi Arabia. Let US know-how in energy production and energy technology defeat radical Islam.

” She has no need to fear Trump.”

As is the case with homosexuals, like Milo.

Not a single law abiding citizen has anything to fear.
