President Trump's overall approval rating may have fallen, but there's one issue on which he has the support of 60% of the American public. That's the proposed travel ban from certain Muslim-majority countries, according to a Politico-Morning Consult poll earlier this month. In fact, Trump has enjoyed the support of a plurality of all voters, Democratic as well as Republican, since he first proposed a travel ban in December 2015. Trump's boldness horrified the Establishment but probably won him the nomination; three-quarters of Republican voters in the key South Carolina primary backed the travel ban. The whole Republican leadership abhorred him (Paul Ryan in Dec. 2015 accused Trump of "violating the Constitution"). Well, Trump won and the Republican leadership lost.
It's always been about Islam--the camel in the living room, to coin a phrase. One and a quarter billion people, roughly a fifth of the world's population, cannot make the leap from tribal society into the modern world. Their anguish and rage is a source of continuous instability and an occasional threat to the security of Western countries.
Western leaders from George W. Bush to Pope Francis I struggled to avoid a clash of civilizations, praising Islam as a religion of peace. Trump, by contrast, told Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia May 21 that the onus was on them to extirpate terrorists from their countries and mosques. Trump isn't seeking civilizational war. He's giving Muslim leaders fair warning and a chance to avoid it.

That's the 1st error in this story!!!
(check the internals of the poll)
It’s not hate.
Islam is seditious to the US Constitution.
The US got along pretty good without it for Centuries.
People apposing decapitation.
WOW! Whooda thunk that would be so popular???
Must be all them RACISTS—or somthin.
bkmk
That said, David Goldman has always had a very clear eye regarding islam and makes some interesting points.
His best point IMHO is that islam is incapable of making the transition into modernity and this is creating a violently painful kind of cognitive dissonance and angst in muslims.
And since islam is perfectly fine with violent expression...well, you see where this is going.
This same guy wrote a column in September, 2008 saying no way, no how could Barack Obama win that election.
Never took him seriously after that.
Of course, it’s about Islam. Valerie and Barak lost the election. The Islamic erosion of our nation was supposed to proceed under president Hitlery.
and until islam is recognized as a “political movement” as opposed to a “religion”.....it will continue to get worse for any person place or thing opposing it.......
No it’s about our desire to outlive the muslim animals.
Trump offers those of us who have rejected that indoctrination, a real chance to reverse the betrayal of heritage, which has been going on. May a kind God sustain him in that effort!
I agree. I'd put a different twist on it. Liberals will support Islam in order to justify their hatred of Trump.
Read Pam Geller everyday.
Example: See this video on how France “est morte” (is dead)

I wouldn't blame him for not correctly estimating US election fraud. His main beat at that time was economic issues in the Far East.
