A top security official in Dubai warned Friday of a "clash of civilizations" if U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump becomes president, the latest sign of disquiet across the Middle East over the businessman's comments about Muslims.

Trump refused to back away from his recent statement that "Islam hates the West" during a Republican debate Thursday night in Miami, which comes after he called in December for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S.

Trump said he wouldn't stoop to being "politically correct" by avoiding such statements.

Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, the deputy chairman of police and general security in Dubai, took to Twitter to respond. Referencing political scientist Samuel P. Huntington's theory that future wars would be fought between cultures, Tamim warned that a Trump win could see him face Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

How do any of us separate muslims who wish to kill us from those who don't.

I don't know, but we damn sure better figure out a way.

Initial thoughts...Dubai is involved with Clinton through her charitable orgs as well as being steeped in Common Core.

Here are some notes I've saved about these links:

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later so it might as well happen when we have a Strong President in the WH!

"Up 'til now,
there has been NO
Clash of Civilizations.
Yes, that's right--
It's all Trump's fault.
And his rise isn't mine.
Oh, and Death to America!"

All the others are insiders, so I know exactly what they will do. They will protect their gov’t. America is not it’s gov’t.

Trump is an American first, not a gov’t insider. He’ll do whats best for us.

Islam sucks... All places where they have a majority are either monarchies and/or poverty-ridden hell holes.

This assumes the middle east has a Civilization.... which arguably, that part of the world has been lacking since the fertile crescent became a desert.

Mr. Trump never said all muslims hate us. He stated that he thinks Islam hates us.

Get your facts straight.

If Islam hates us then how can Muslims not hate us?

Reading Comprehension 101.

Think a little more about it and you’ll probably discover what he’s actually saying, not what you want to believe he is saying....

I don't think Trump even realizes what he says.
