Five Ways Donald Trump Is Wrong About Islam [Globalist Barf Alert]
Foreign Policy ^ | 2/17/17 | Stephen M. Walt

Posted on 02/17/2017 10:54:47 AM PST by markomalley

Donald Trump took up so bandwidth during the 2016 election cycle that we all paid insufficient attention to the people lurking within his campaign operation who have now moved into key policymaking positions. Foremost among these worrisome characters is White House political strategist Stephen Bannon, the former Goldman Sachs employee, Hollywood producer, and Breitbart chairman who appears to be behind much of Trump’s chaotic approach to foreign policy. But you could add oddballs like self-promoting national security “experts” like Sebastian Gorka (who falsely claimed to have been an expert witness at the Boston Marathon bombing trial) and nutcase Islamophobe Frank Gaffney, whose extreme views are apparently taken seriously by short-lived National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. To give you a sense of just how out-there Gaffney is, his think tank, the Center for Security Policy, has been identified as an “extremist group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center and criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for promulgating “anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.”

I think there is only one way that Donald Trump is wrong about Islam: he hasn't gone and denounced it as a a cancer and a scourge upon planet earth and vowed to wipe Islam off the face of the planet. Basically put them in a position of "renounce or die."

He has come closer than any other president (denouncing Islamic Terrorism), but not nearly close enough. Because it's not terrorists...it's a core belief of Islam.

Glad to see that Foreign Policy has finally gotten its marketing campaign in order and now goes with TMZ-type titles like “Five Ways that . . . . “ What’s next Foreign Policy? Are we going to see paid cross-posts on MSM sites with titles like “Five Historical Figures That You Didn’t Realize were Lesbians”?

This guy is so stupid that all he does is make false assumptions to bolster his own arguments such as Islam is divided - true to a point with the exception that Islam hates Israel, the West and anything not Islamic such as Buddhists in Asia. Another example of a half truth is that the balance of power is in our favor - true to a point but only if we’re willing to USE it and don’t have treasonous Moslems in power such as Obama and Brennan.

Some folks think that Islam poses no threat in America.

All I know is - if that you are gay, you should fight against importation of these folks from the more war-torn areas.

How do they treat gay people 'over there'?

See for yourself:

There far more graphic images on the web, should you wish to witness the ISIS/ISIL barbarians at work....

Islam ( at least as it’s preached and practiced by tens of millions) is the most dangerous - and threatening- conspiracy on earth. It simply MUST be defeated — now! It’s already invaded several
European nations and USA now has this horrible cancer in all 57 states — the humanitarian thing is to repatriate them to the countries they’ve already conwuered. Or the murder terrorism and mayhem will just continue to get worse and worse like in France and Germany already

Apparently, anyone who doesn’t like wearing a bag over their head or having their private parts ripped out, is an islamophobic nutcase. Islamophobic, yes, nutcase, no. Realistic. Never, ever forget 9/11!

An anti-zionist of the first order, S. Walt is a classic hatemonger in lust with the worse criminal cabals on earth, esp ISIL, PLO, HAMAS, and the Brotherhood.

This is the guy that warned about the “Jewish” menace in US politics. A real nut case.

Trump is not wrong, but he can’t say: izzlam is a violent world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.

I don't know what Donald Trump has said about Islam but here's what I think...

The Mohammad Factor

If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn slavery you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn Mohammad you condemn Islam.

Stephen Walt is an anti-Semitic apologist for Iran. Foreign Policy is owned by the parent company of the Washington Post.

Anything denounced by the SPLC is probably right on target.

Apparently these stupid leftists have never heard the story of the frog and the scorpion. By the time they find out the true nature of the muzzies, the poison will be pulsing its way through their blood vessels to their vital organs.

This guy takes no notice of the social cost of having Muslims inflicted on the American population - especially women and children. Rape, rape, rape. Does he know they are already forcing American public school children pray to Allah in the name of multiculturalism? Religious freedom? Right. Might is right in globalism’s multiculturalism. Kiss Muzzie ass rules in Western nations under globalism.

He knows nothing about the Muslim Brotherhood or all it’s spin off organizations, purpose and strategy for the West? He’s so above it all; he’s blind.

Does he have any idea the price Germans, French, English, etc. are paying for the actions of liberal stupid a$$es like himself?

I am not concerned about Islam in their own nations - Just western nations. They can slaughter and rape each other to extinction. I just don’t want that coming to my nation and globalists don’t respect that because they are out of touch and careless.
