Trump’s point (and I’m not a supporter of his) is better than calling them Islamists — it’s Islam period that is the problem.
In an ideologies the ideology cannot take hold until action is put behind the words. Islam is a theocratic political ideology bent on world domination to supplant the ideology, laws and idiosyncrasies into every ones minds and lives. Co-founder to CAIR (the acronym was purposefully selected to sound like care, and I am paraphrasing here) said that Islam was not in America to be any other religion but to be the dominate religion and the quran the constitution. This very statement by the co-founder, who is currently in jail for something totally unrelated, is seditious in nature. This bespeaks the intentions of the ideology that it seeks to overthrow our current form of government and its people like the co-founder of CAIR who puts that ideology into action. Everyone says we must ban Islam and I turn to them and ask have we banned Nazism? Have we banned Communism? These too are theocratic ideologies that we can no more ban than can we make the sun go dark. As long as they reside inside the minds of those who will promulgate them to others who are of weak mind or seek out acceptance in today’s world of isolation, we can not ban them nor can we ever destroy them. It will take thousands of years from now for them to even be forgotten but with the advent of more and more history being recorded than ever before, Islam will never ever go away, like Nazism or Communism and that my friends is the sad god’s honest truth. There will be flare ups and then they will be put down as the embers glow until they are kindled again causing another flare up of their vociferous flame. Only can we trample the fire but never the coals.
