People forget that so-called “Radical” Islam is not “Radical”. It is the very root of all Islam.
People also forget that this started with the PLO, a secular, Muslim terror group devoted then (and today) to the destruction of Israel and Jews.
The kind of Jihadis we experienced on Sept. 11 began with Afghanistan and then the Hizbollah soldiers in south Lebanon 1982-1983 who blasted the Marine barracks near Beirut in 1983.
The Hizbollah terrorists went on to car bomb the Israelis, and French forces there.
Then they tried to blow up the Twin towers in 1993 during Clinton’s feeble years.
So, in truth, they were working on these attacks way back in 1980 or only against Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic games. There, the PLO “Freedom Fighters” massacred unarmed sportsmen. It all began with Arafart...and continues with Abbas.
Today, Iran arms and funds the Hizbollah and HAMAS groups. It’s all out there to see but we refused (and still refuse) to see the reality on the ground.
Thankfully, to his credit going back 2 years ago, President Trump started to tell it just like it is. Someone had to.
