The fact that someone can be “radicalized” after being raised in the USA should give us pause about Islam and Muslims. The truth - according to my SIL who read the Koran in Arabic - the holy book of Islam is focused on “radicalizing” Muslims toward violence and dominating those around them.
It is as though this is 1961, and President Kennedy wants to bring millions of communists in from Russia to show his good will. The difference is that the USA would have told Kennedy to go to hell, if Kennedy had been dumb enough or anti-American enough to have the desire.
Now, even most of the GOP candidates are worried that restricting Muslims from immigrating is “mean”...
For myself, I’m thinking it is time to tell the GOP to “Go to hell”!
I have no desire to learn Arabic to read the Koran in the original language. But I've read enough of it in English to know that your SIL speaks the truth.
The Old Testament has passages commanding the Children of Israel to wipe out heathen populations in order to possess the land, but these are incidental to the book. A fair reading of the Koran has them central to the book.
The Children of Israel had stopped doing this at the peak of their political power, the reign of King David, circa 720 BC. A significant element of the Muslims have persisted in doing so until this day.
Don't give me any libtard arguments on moral equivalence until you've actual read the Koran and studied the history as I have!
