The president says, “Muslims are our neighbors,†which, in fact, they are. Newspapers, including the influential Washington Post, have run stories extoling the virtues of Muslim refugees, Muslim soldiers, and Muslims as just-about-everyone, which, in fact, they are.
And because of that, perhaps, Americans have not exactly been on an “anti-Muslim†rampage since the San Bernardino jihadist attack that killed 14 people, despite the fear-mongering of CAIR. Americans don’t need condescending lectures by the president or threats by the attorney general. There are more than 318 million people living in the United States. In 2014, law enforcement totaled 1,014 religion-based hate crimes including 609 against Jews (60%) and 154 (15%) against Muslims. The FBI totals are slightly different: 1,140 crimes, of which 648 (56.8%) were against Jews and 184 (16%) against Muslims.

San Bernardino, with 14 people killed by a radical Islamist couple, was simply the catalyst for the underlying concern about terrorism and the government’s ability to protect us that have been growing for years. On a whole, it should be said, Americans have proven to be more tolerant than not.

Too tolerant for our own good, if you ask me.
But the Israelis have us skinned a mile in the tolerating of Muslims who want to kill them. Go figure.
I actually think it’s about Muslims, for whom “terror” is a religious sacrament.
It's about a religion...authentic/orthodox islam.
Nicely put.
Funny how these supposed anti-Muslim “hate crimes” never make the news. Then again, the definition of a “hate crime” is inherently twisted.
That’s what we do here. ;)
Because I care, I don’t CAIR.
It’s actually about Muslims, too. Most Americans today would not want to live in a Muslim culture — even if it were not imposed by terrorists shooting guns. Our founding fathers would surely have agreed, recognizing that our Constitution is not a suicide pact. And Donald Trump is not afraid to say that.
Exactly wrong!
First comes Islam. Then comes terrorism, which is merely a tactic to advance Islam.
You got that right.
The motivation for killing us kafirs isn't money , territory or jobs or grievances ; it is religious duty laid out in the Koran and Hadiths for fundamental Muslims to perform.
And that is what they are doing.
We are in a religiously driven war, but our girly boy culture won't admit it.
Muslims who don't want to get blood on their hands know they should not integrate into a kafir, Infidel, non- believing society .
Those Muslims out breed the infidels in that society and provide cover for the Jihadis . -Tom
After being crushed in the Crusades. The Muslim empire never kept up with Western Civilization in any way. Islam can never fight the Jihad they did in the 8th century. So they use “Terror” as a Military Strategy. They could never have imagined that the West would commit cultural suicide via political correctness.
Yup. Back before the moon-god cult was in the news, who were the purveyors of "terror"? The IRA, perhaps. Maybe that doomsday cult that carried out the sarin attack on the Tokyo subway. That was pretty much it.
Yeah, get rid of Muslims, the terror attacks dwindle to insignificance.
That's like saying, "It's not about water; It's about wetness."
Islam is incompatible with liberty and Western civilization. The tenants of Islam lead to the death of art, innovation, liberty and technology. Islam is a malignant, metastasizing cancer on civilization. The best thing to do with cancer is remove it!
And as Brigitte Gabriel said, "moderate Muslims are irrelevant." They can't/won't stop a thing. They aren't the problem and they aren't the solution.
Also, I'm tired of the media and politicians saying were afraid of Muslims, refugees and illegal immigrants! We're not afraid, we're pissed off! And we're voting for someone who will actually do something about it.
Wrong, it is about muslims, muslims equal terror.
It’s about Islam.
Any philosophy or world view that is opposite your world view cannot be coexisted with. It’s as simple as that.
We must revisit the clause in the first amendment that guarantees the free exercise of any religion. I doubt very much that the founders had Islam in mind when they wrote that. And if they did they were wrong.
America may not be at war with Islam — but Islam is at war with America.
When I was young, my dad said NEVER pick up a hitch hiker. One in one hundred would kill you and you never knew if the person you picked up was that 100th one or not.
So now we have moslems in which one in 100 might kill you, and we are told to let them in? I don’t think so!
