Trump is a devoted supporter of Muslims fighting fundamentalist Islamism everywhere
Two Trump-hating, far-left radical women made news this week as they got into an argument about how to best insult President Trump. As a Muslim woman observing Islam, and someone who admires the president as a true friend of Muslims around the world and an outstanding leader of our country, I find their comments to be ignorant, insulting and intellectually dishonest.
The argument began Monday night when MSNBC host Joy Reid — who devotes her nightly show “The ReidOut” to denouncing Trump and all he does — said the president has radicalized his supporters in the same way that “Muslims act.”
"Leaders, let's say in the Muslim world, talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy," Reid said.
"We in the U.S. media describe that as they are radicalizing those people — particularly when they're radicalizing young people,” Reid added. “That's how we talk about the way Muslims act. When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different from what we describe as radicalizing people?"
In reaction to that ludicrously ignorant commentary, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Muslim originally from Somalia, sharply criticized Reid and demanded an apology.
“Honestly, this kinda of casual Islamophobia is hurtful and dangerous,” Omar, D-Minn., tweeted. “We deserve better and an apology for the painful moment for so many Muslims around our country should be forthcoming.”
Reid didn’t apologize, but said on her show Wednesday that her comments were "not exactly the most artful way of asking that question."

OK, so what’s this all about? And why should you care?
Islamism is a 20th-century political totalitarian ideology very much inspired by Marxism.
The muslims who have rejected terror and compulsion in religion should be very happy to support Trump.
“...encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence...
Seriously? I mean, I have not seen any Conservatives out there burning things or causing violence and destruction. SHE must be living in some alternate universe!
That was Joy Reid. I’m not sure what universe she lives in. If Trump supporters are being radicalized to violence, I don’t see it either.
These Liberal half-wits all live in their own heads. They invent Hollywood scenarios then speak as if that stuff is real-world.
I used to do that... till I turned 6
Try the back of your hand.
And the Left, the friends of Ms Reid in Antifa and BLM - and the Dims silence about their violence - is not “radicalizing people????
For your interest.
Muslims are 66% Democrat, 13% Republican add 21% independent.
I would like to know how that independent vote breaks and the outcome this year.
I don’t really know where they are located in this country.
