Nonsense

Bibi and Trump can handle this.

Saudi Arabia is in tune with both.

Are the Saudis the “sane group” of Muslims?

To an outsider like me, Islam is all the same, so in the interests of sane Muslims everywhere, why don’t they do more to stop terrorism?

Not all Muslims are bad.

But, the good ones are persecuted by the ones that live to kill.

It is odd, but even some of our Muslims in the USA are silent. To protect their families. (They may have converted.)
