The significance of Trump’s visit (told by Muslim)

There is undoubtedly a positive message being sent when a US president chooses Saudi Arabia, the land of the Two Holy Mosques, as his first foreign destination. This positivity, shown by Donald Trump, deserves our sincere gratitude for choosing to endorse the moderate Islamic world.

Moderates in the Kingdom and worldwide have always wanted a serious partner to help reclaim the narrative from extremists, and a clear distinction between those who believe Islam is against terror and those who use it to justify terror. Some people with twisted minds have used our religion to create confusion and obscure its real message, which is peace for humanity.

Sadly, not many are aware that Muslims, more than any others, have been the victims of terror. We have paid the most in blood for this monstrous perversion of our religion. Yet we are the ones who bear the profanities and inanities that appear so often in Western discourse.

History is replete with examples of how the Muslim world has been a natural ally of the US. Like all good friends we have had differences in our long relationship, but we have never lost sight of the power the US can exert by standing shoulder to shoulder with us as we fight and neutralize the barbarous terrorism that has taken many shapes and forms.

To liberal ninth circuit judges, instead of inferring religious discrimination based on Trumps campaign speeches, you now can go by the things he is ACTUALLY DOING as POTUS.

Oh my. W.O.W.

“And unlike Hussein Obama, Trump offers NO APOLOGIES”

Excellent point. No head scarves for the women folk and Jared is Jewish.

[Cobra64]

Yup.

[Parley Baer]

“I do not trust the Saudis one iota. I am suspicious over everything they are and represent”

I think it is good to be very wary. Let’s see how all this plays out. President Trump is no fool and I am sure he is quite aware of the pitfalls. He is also aware of the upsides.

>>And unlike Hussein Obama, Trump offers NO APOLOGIES...<<

Strength is all muslims respect. The weakness of obozo was both a joy to them as he was so easy to walk over and a source of derision.

Taqiyya

What you have to understand, is that they do not wish to destroy the West.

They want to turn the West. There is a difference.

That’s why some folks can’t grasp that 09/11 was not something that would serve the purpose of those who wish to turn the West.

What is to be gained by turning conquered land into a hovel?

The goal would be to take over the “machine” and use it to advance your will.

It is up to us to recognize what Islam wants, and deny it it’s desires.

Islam, internally in the Western world, IS NOT an option.

They stay in their jungle, and we stay in ours. Where we can, we cooperate as totally separate entities.

[wgmalabama]

Yeah it’s like a black in Chicago claiming they are the victims of Chicago black crime. Just WOW. Clean your shit up before asking others to do it for you.

Kill the radical mosque and schools for 2 generations, force the radicals into desert camps, empower the people left and care more about your people than your powers money. Breed some intelligence back into your population with force if necessary. You can’t have a country or a future with an average IQ of 80, filled with hate, teaching the next life is wonderful if you kill anyone “unworthy”.

[sargon]

An excellent speech by the President. While the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) are whipping themselves into a masturbatory frenzy of hatred, this man—who has become our President against all odds—simply continues to lead.

I will continue to support President Trump through thick and thin, and I will defend him against all illegitimate attacks—some of which emanate from the President's own party.

People have a choice to make: support the President, or support the Swamp. There is no middle ground...

you should post this as a separate thread, abigkahuna :)

[GOP Poet]

Thank you for posting. :)

I also take this opportunity to reassure everyone reading this that it is our duty as Muslims to respect the laws and constitutions of non-Muslim countries where we live.

now that's an interesting statement coming from the head of the Muslim World League.

[The Westerner]

Unfortunately, until he goes to the Philosophy Depts of Ivy League universities and states “this is a battle of good and evil” America will not change. How sad and bizarre that these technobarbarians emerging from evil into good are open to this battle of good vs evil but America's Professors of Western Philosophy taught a century of the best young minds that morality is subjective and good and evil are relative. (see my tagline)

[Engedi]

No not correct. He was the first President to make Saudia Arabia his first stop. Others in the past have gone to other countries then make a stop to SA. At least that is what I read.

[Ann Archy]

What businesses does Trump have in Saudi Arabia??

[Ann Archy]

Ivanka is Jewish also.

[Will88]

Thanks, I heard most of a statement on this and wasn't certain what I heard.

More non-moslems have been victims of moslems over the centuries, but Trump was not referring to the last 1400 years, so it’s okay with me that he said that moslems were the most victims.
