McCain: Trump’s rhetoric is turning Muslims all over the world against us [Way of Cain]

...And you know how pro-American Middle Eastern Muslims usually are. I understand he has a beef with Trump but is there any actual evidence of this happening? Which Middle Eastern countries are seeing protests over what one guy in one party’s primary in the United States may or may not have said about a registry of Muslims? More specifically, which Muslims who weren’t already inclined to dislike America for other reasons have suddenly tilted towards disapproval now that Trump can’t stop talking about celebrations in New Jersey on 9/11? The bitter irony of this clip, of which every dove reading this is already aware, is that McCain’s brand of interventionism in the region has doubtless alienated many, many, many more Muslims than Trump has in his interviews. You can get a taste of that in this tracker of favorable views of America over the past 15 years published in June by Pew:

Lebanon is complicated because it’s multisectarian but the Sunni states — Turkey, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories — all saw a dive circa 2003, the year the U.S. invaded Iraq, with only modest recovery since. (European opinion also dropped and has yet to come all the way back in Germany and the UK from its 1999-2000 high.) American intervention in the region is a staple of jihadi propaganda when recruiting, as a casus belli to either remove the Crusaders from the region or to fight the Shiites brought to power by the Americans in Baghdad. None of which is to say that intervention is wrong per se — you might conclude that removing Saddam was worth risking all of that — but you might want to ease off on pointing fingers about risking damage to Muslim opinion...

McCain has been cashing checks from the Saudis for years.

McCain is an idiot. The Muslims have wanted to kill or enslave all non-Muslims for their entire history.

Someone explain to the demented old brain fried fossil that THE KORAN is responsible. It teaches all.Muslims to remain in and force the world back to the 5th century! Trump merely shines the light of truth on the cockroaches. Of course they dont like it. Good!!

And those were the “rebel fighters” that Obama and McCain gave weapons to. They gave weapons to terrorists.

Obama and McCain should be locked in prison.

Hopefully that acceptance will lead to their rapid retirement from public life.

I think you’re right. The more I learn about this stuff, I think the Saudis are directly funding many of our corrupt politicians and also the mass immigration (invasion) of Muslims into Europe and America.

Senator McCain, the world has passed you by. Evidence shows radical Muslims already hate anyone who believes differently than they do. Maybe you can get together to talk about other now debunked ideas with people like Al Gore (Global Warming) and Jeb! (Common Core) and Angela Merkel (Full and endless Syrian immigration w/o vetting).

It would be interesting to research the numbers of “immigrants of Islamic belief” to Germany and Gr. Britain since 2000.I know that the “Face” of these countries has changed enormously. I would imagine it goes along with the decline of American support in those countries.
