Sen. Graham: Trump ‘Understands We Are in a Religious War’
CNS News ^ | 11/01/2017 | Susan Jones

Posted on 11/01/2017 12:13:55 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

“The one thing I like about President Trump, he understands that we’re in a religious war,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday night, hours after a legal immigrant from Uzbekistan rammed his rented truck into people enjoying a sunny day on a lower Manhattan bike path, killing eight of them.

The terrorist, apparently acting on behalf of ISIS, ended his mile long rampage when he crashed into a school bus. A policeman shot and injured him. He is expected to survive.

Graham told Fox News the American people need to know, “We’re fighting people who are compelled by their religious views to kill us all. They kill fellow Muslims who don't agree with their view of Islam; they kill Christians and vegetarians, libertarians, Jews, you name it."

Graham continued:

So we’re in a war. The last eight years, the Obama administration turned the war into a crime. So I talked with the president tonight. He is right to make sure that when somebody comes into our country from a place where radical Islam – and that's the enemy -- thrives, that we’re going to ask extra hard questions. 

He’s also right to look at this as a war. The last thing I want this guy to hear tonight is "You have a right to a lawyer." The last thing (he) should hear is his Miranda rights.

Graham said under President Trump, “The gloves are off.”

“He’s telling the military you can go after these guys wherever they go. You can kill them when you find them, you don’t have to watch them drive away. Now he’s got a chance to tell the American people, the homeland is part of the battlefield.”

Graham also noted that President Trump has changed the rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing military commanders to make battlefield decisions, instead of micromanaging from the White House.

I would say it is a war with sharia law proponents not a war against a religion. I think there is a big difference.

Linda Graham realizes that Muslims are sworn to kill homosexuals.

With Orlando’s nightclub targeting homosexuals and now this, Linda is probably realizing that one day HE may be next.

I was once a South Carolina voter and it was commonly believed that Linda was never going to come out of the closet.

So, Linda. I have a few questions. I'll wait for you to take off your mascara. OK, then. Here are my questions.

1. With whom are we at war?

2. Should we continue to let the enemy into our country?

3. What should be done to the enemy to win this war?

Evidently Graham has been out of contact with McCain for too long.

Ideas have consequences! - Weaver

The battle of ideas has more than one front.

One battle is the one manifested by yesterday's occurrence.

The other battle is within--a battle against the principles and ideas of the 1787 United States Constitution waged by a competing ideology which, for over a hundred years now, has sought to impose itself upon what its cultish adherents aim to be the ruins of the basic premises and protections of the Founders' Constitution, with its strict limitations on the exercise of power by government over "We, the People."

During WWII did the United States government allow and support the immigration of card-carrying Nazis into the U.S. (other than as POWs)?!?

During WWII did the United States government financially support card-carrying Nazi immigrants with welfare payments and driver’s licenses?!?

______________________________________

Muslims are sworn to kill all non-Muslims. Once this is accomplished, then they will kill each other.

They LOVE blood.

I suspect you’ve just plumbed the depths of his commitment to this theory
