bob- let me try to illustrate my points in a clumsy analogy- I haven’t thought it through completely, but I think it illustrates why we do not even care to ‘get to know’ those who are sworn to kill us, hate us, etc, and will show why even moderates can’t be fully trusted, or even mostly trusted
Suppose you are a CHristian family and you live next door to a radical Satanic cult that you know are known for human sacrifices of Christian children, lying, raping stealing etc- and you know this cult preaches that it’s ok to say whatever they need to say in order to get what they want
Now, suppose the parents in that house hate your guts. Suppose they scream at you every chance they can because they know you are Christians, and their religion teaches them to hate Christians- Suppose overtime you try to speak to them or be kind to them their faces go red with anger and hatred.- They tell you they are going to kill you some day (let’s just assume the police won’t get involved as well when you report their threats)-
Now let’s suppose that they have a son or daughter. This daughter appears ‘moderate’ but tells you when you speak to her she tells you she is a Satanist but that she ‘doesn’t believe everything she’s taught’
Suppose now that the girl moves down the street to another house on your block, and is at least on speaking terms with you- She seems nice, and always goes out of her way to be helpful
I suppose some would be inclined to believe she is ‘moderate’ and but remember, their religion teaches that it’s ok to lie, to deceive-
Knowing the Satanist’s propensity towards sacrifice and hatred toward CHristians, and knowing that children are disappearing all over the neighborhood- would you take your child to the daughter’s house on all hallow’s eve and say “Here, watch my children while my wife and I go away for the weekend”?
EVEN IF the girl would never sacrifice a child, she belongs to a death cult who would, and she very well could obey her religious requirement and hand the children over to those who would- She may very well aid and abet those who would, and smile and pretend to know nothing about it when you got back
Now- two more last ‘supposes’
Suppose you whole block is filled with Satanist’s from this radical Satanic group- Some families will of course appear nice, others not so much- some will hide their hatred for you better than others-
Now suppose most of those on your block tell you over and over and over again they are going to kill you because you are Christians
Do you still say “Oh, they’re really ok people- they don’t mean what they say, and I’m sure the ‘moderates ones’ certainly don’t believe it’s ok to kill” and “They’ve been saying they are going to kill me for many years- they haven’t yet, so that proves they don’t really mean it”
Do we risk our family’s lives like this just for the sake of not wanting to look unsympathetic?
Again- we MUST remember that we’re talking about a very unique culture In the middle east- they don’t just simply hate Americans’ they PREACH that destroying us is a duty- an honor- and they preach that lying to us is a duty as well
Sorry, but I don’t want to get to know every muslim before I make up my mind that there’s a good possibility they might actually mean what they say and believe what they are taught
I got a family of RINO Republican Muslims to go against the corrupt IL RINOs, one of whom was an election judge. That wouldn’t have happened if I had not talked to them. I knew ahead of time they were RINO. I knew their names were Muslim. Yet I talked to them. That type of activity is how I flipped 7 precincts.
If we write off too many groups, we will never win. And we can convince enough of them to go our way.
Although the only ones I’ve eliminated are Clinton and Jeb, I’m leaning Cruz. Cruz needs to get every vote he can, often from voters who agree with him on some, but not all issues, (like me).
If we don’t go out and talk to them, we will not know that they can be converted. (Of course, I’ve had much more success with Hispanics than with Muslims.)
