Trump to lay out plan for combating radical Islamic terrorism
CNN ^ | August 15, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

(CNN)Donald Trump on Monday will lay out his strategy for defeating radical Islamic terrorism, painting the fight as an ideological struggle on par with that of the Cold War.

In Ohio, the Republican presidential nominee will lay out proposals to combat ISIS and prevent terrorist attacks in the US, including banning individuals from countries with heavy terrorist footprints where the US government cannot adequately vet visa applicants and increasing cooperation with willing Middle Eastern allies, a senior Trump campaign official said.

Trump is also set to make clear in his prepared remarks that the US will abandon any ambitions for nation-building or spreading democracy in the Middle East, expanding on his criticism of the Iraq War while on the campaign trail.

"We can't always choose our friends, but we know that we have to fight our enemies. We are going to work with anyone in the Middle East who is in agreement with us that ISIS needs to be extinguished," the senior campaign adviser said.

Trump's expected call to work with Muslim allies comes against a backdrop of fierce criticism and condemnation of the Republican candidate from Muslims in the US and abroad since December, when he proposed "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."

Beyond his immigration ban, Trump has also been criticized for suggesting that President Barack Obama is linked to radical Islamic terrorism, floating surveillance of US mosques and proclaiming that he believes "Islam hates us."

The campaign official argued that a clear statement that the US has no intention to "remake the Middle East into one democracy after another at the point of a gun" could encourage further cooperation and assistance from Middle Eastern allies in the fight against ISIS.

.... Kahn (a certified “victim”——and a handful of other Moslems) appear to be civilized......but as Freeper insightfully Lent opined...”there’s jihad in their souls”...

Keep in mind, Muslims lie easily.......illustrates their dedication to killing Christians. ..... the lies get real good if it means killing Christians.


THE MUSLIM DOCTRINE OF TAQIYYA...ITS OKAY TO LIE TO AN INFIDEL...For those with a discerning eye, taqiyya is all around us. (a) Muslim refugees have pretended to convert to Christianity; (2) an Islamic gunman gained entrance inside a church by feigning interest in Christian prayers.

Examples abound on a daily basis.

In Turkey, to get close enough to a Christian pastor to assassinate him, a group of Muslims including three women feigned interest in Christianity, attended his church for over a year, and even participated in baptism ceremonies.

Said the pastor: “These Muslim people had infiltrated our church and collected information about me, my family and the church and were preparing an attack against us. Two of them attended our church for over a year and they acted like family.”


DUPING THE POPE Pope Francis is urging they be taken in and aided.....the Pope took in a family of Muslim refugees into the Papal residence.....and spoke of his being transformed by them.

Little does he know.

Hate-filled Muslims are saving their most vicious attacks for the Pope: the plan is to hang him in public from the Papal balcony and turn the Vatican into a mosque.....which means destroying 2000 years of priceless works of art. News reports say there are scores of Muslims surrounding the Vatican....lying-in-wait in Muslim prayer rooms.

Mosques are military outposts and safe havens for these savages under the cloak of religion

much is made of the doctrine of TAQIYYA.

But in America, lying is the stock in trade of many politicians and all lawyers.

Loose lips sink ships! Hope he stays vague! Frankly, neither we, or especially the enemy, needs to know!

Trump.....”he proposed “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”...............

I listened to Trump’s speech when he addressed the Muslims coming into our country. Funny how reporters often leave off the clarifying part of the statement which addressed the part where Trump said something like “until we can vet those people”. It may not have been his exact words but he DID address the vetting issue and it was NOT to be a permanent ban of Muslims either.

He’d be well advised first to lay out a plan for combating hillary’s cheating on election day.

Not gonna happen. Too much money from the Muzzies will render any means implemented ineffective.

The details are going to be interesting because this raises all sorts of questions right off the bat. Would this plan include banning individuals from France, Belgium, or Germany? All of which have domestic Islamic terrorists in their population and whose citizens are not required to obtain visas for travel to the U.S.? And what willing Middle East allies will the U.S. have if they are all included in the ban since all of them have home grown Islamic terrorists in their midst?

... where Trump said something like “until we can vet those people”.

What Trump said was "...until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." How do you define that?

Good. Hillary will bring in another million or so, as repayment for their votes and contributions.

He has no other way of defending himself. The damn republicans aren’t helping him. I thought it was one of his better rallies. I streamed it until the feed was cut.

............................................................
Interesting how they NEVER give the entire content of a Trump statement! How about adding” UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON,” to complete Trump’s statement which clarly shows he had no intentions of completely blocking Muslims and thereby gives the lie to the Leftist Propaganda!
