The Problem Isn't Nation-Building. It's Islam-Building
Frontpagemag.com ^ | August 19, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Nation-building has become a very controversial term. And with good reason. Our conviction that we can reconstruct any society into another America is unrealistic. It ignores our own exceptionalism and overlooks the cultural causes of many conflicts. It assumes that a change of government and open elections can transform a tribal Islamic society into America. They can’t and won’t. But it’s also important to recognize that what we have been doing isn’t nation-building, but Islam-building.

Zackly. When John Adams said that our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, he was talking specifically about Christians.

As we all know by now, one of islam's basic tenets is that it's okay to lie in order to advance its cause.

100% correct. Only a people whose behaviors are modified by the Holy Ghost can live and let live successfully, free of government interference.

Islam is founded on a murderous declaration of criminal intent to murder those who won’t comply and convert and be dominated on the individual basis, and on the societal basis, Islam means to wage war against noncompliant others, who refuse to surrender to domination by evil, with the intent to commit genocide against those people. Islam is evil. Many Muslims embrace this evil ideology as a religious rite and right. Others are minos, Muslim in name only, while others are trapped because leaving means true Islam believers would have cause to kill them, and others are deniers who either know the truth or refuse to face the truth that the basis of Islam is domination through forced surrender or death aka murder of the noncompliance. Islam is evil. Saying Islam is peaceful is a lie

Such an ungracious reply. Guess you need a course in manners. Plus another in rational discussion.

You also have a reading comprehension problem. I said ‘a people’, meaning society as a whole.

Did you use Common Core for English in school?

If we must have any form of nation-building, it should be the building of secular nations in which Islam is isolated and detached from any political involvement.

Amen. But this is really only the first step. Eventually we need to illegitimize Islam itself. Otherwise, political Islam will always raise its ugly head again. It is the nature of the beast.

Great point, Islam”s other tenant is convert or kill infidels.

The more we build up Islam, the more we destroy ourselves.

Greenfield nails it.
