But he might be able to help Trump win the YUUGE state of New York.
Yes you’re right of course.
IMHO, the inclusion of “moderate muslims” is more in the line of mentioning Pres. Sisi of Egypt, encouraging actual reformers (of which there may be a very few). I look at that statement as a toss out to placate people who really don’t have a clue about REAL Islam, the real ideology, and real nonstop jihad/conquest/butchery history.
And I think without a doubt Trump knows that, and so does Flynn.
Would you mind calling my ex and repeating that?
Lol you can tell her I said so!
Excellent.
Just a few of those participating:
Higgins: His expertise is political warfare and developing strategies to battle against the ideologies and tactics used to carry out terror attacks.
Krikorian: a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues, has served as Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) since 1995. The Washington post called him “The provocateur standing in the way of immigration reform”.
Carafano: director of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies and the deputy director of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Recent tweet: “Here is the strategy for the next president “Playtime is over””
Skinner: author, associate professor of international relations and political science at Carnegie Mellon University, and founding director of the Institute for Politics and Strategy.
We are not going to get rid of “radical Islamic” violence. It has been going on or over 1,000 years, mostly Islam against Islam (the various sects fighting).
This is an RELIGIOUS CIVIL WAR that has been going on for over 1,000 years with varying degrees of intensity.
They want to use the West to draw them into their own civil war. This is essentially what happened in WWI when the Ottoman empire aligned with Germany. The Ottomans wanted Germany to help them conquer even more Islamic peoples to they had an even larger caliphate.
There is no “our side” in this as most people in the West are neither Sunni or Shia Moslems ... so we don’t have a dog in this fight .... except when they come to the West to try to start a war with us over Western values.
What we can do, and should do, is keep this religious civil war contained as much as possible to majority Islamic countries.
Let them fight it out themselves. This will keep them busy and they will have less time/money/inclination to cause trouble in non Muslim lands.
The Islamic Religious Civil War will probably still be going on for another 1,000 years. Do we really want to entangle ourselves in a war where it doesn’t matter which side wins (if they ever do)?
