> At the bottom of all this evil is Islam. <
A truth that too many folks refuse to admit. And so a firestorm is coming.
As a side note, after Pearl Harbor FDR immediately recognized who the enemy was, and what was needed to be done. As a result, by the fall of 1945 Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were finished. No more threats from them.
Contrast that with the behavior of George W. Bush after 9/11. “Islam is peace.” he said. We must nation-build, he said. Generations to come will pay for his foolishness.
FDR knew Nazi Germany was a problem in 1939, but politically there was nothing he could do about it, other than to try to get as much aid to Britain as possible.
Europe was torn with mayhem and brutal warfare as the Christian religion split into various factions. Americans were well aware of this history and made freedom of Religion one of our bedrock principles. The idea that a particular religion could be fundamentally evil is quite foreign to American beliefs, but Islam , at its core , is evil.
