I feel the same way, but in reading the comments here I believe it is an even divide where the Extreme Islamic Terrorist are concerned. I set here wondering why our elitist in Washington cannot utter that word and meanwhile more and more of it is happening right in our country. :( Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-58629218427347706902016-06-15T11:47:45.502-04:002016-06-15T11:47:45.502-04:00I am a muslim and I do not even like to hurt a spi...I am a muslim and I do not even like to hurt a spider. I believe in non violence. If any government agency wants to check my family or me I will have no problem with that.

These days it seems easy to say that all Muslims are extreme, but that isn't true. We believe in freedom of religion, but what does that actually mean right now? Who is an enemy and who is not?

My gut feeling is we could do more and are a bit afraid of stepping on some toes and hurting some feelings, I would not be against getting a little dirty, but I'm just an old dude that has never been very successful at anything including 2 failed marriages so what the hell do I know? Anyway yeah, I do like Trump a little, I understand all our current problems are the result of Republicans, but Trump is fiscally conservative and a closet liberal on social issues and I kinda feel the same way. I don't think we will ever agree on very much. Except maybe I don't really care who uses what bathroom and I would like to see more gun regulations. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-84066055959523341922016-06-14T19:23:56.271-04:002016-06-14T19:23:56.271-04:00amen amenamen amenshortybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104822128450697901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-88260471176323707312016-06-14T18:54:55.322-04:002016-06-14T18:54:55.322-04:00Seriously, Joeh.

My thought here is you are taking the Trump Inc. line, that Muslims are the suspects, and if we take care of the 'Muslim Problem' the terrorism problem will go away. <br />Is this not the case? If I'm wrong, my sincere apologies. <br />An interesting byline to this is the speech President Obama gave today on this subject, and the 'reply' your guy Trump managed. <br />Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-62263449727779885002016-06-14T15:30:28.606-04:002016-06-14T15:30:28.606-04:00Joeh

Call it what it is. Stop it. Put plants in Mosques, tap phones, stop and frisk…I don’t care! Profile the heck out of people." could you tell me exactly what you are suggesting we do, since we are doing all, if not most of those already? When you say 'stop and frisk', who are you talking about? Who do we stop and frisk? Who exactly do we we turn our attention to here? <br /><br />It seems you're kind of beating around the bush here, and I'd like to know exactly what you are suggesting we do before I can respond. The FBI is tapping lots of phones of suspected radicals as we speak, are there other's they should tap? <br />Be a bit more specific, if you would. <br />Thanks,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-24324671299760084202016-06-14T11:17:12.771-04:002016-06-14T11:17:12.771-04:00The problem in this country is terrorism, plain an...The problem in this country is terrorism, plain and simple. When David Koresh killed eighty people at his so-called Camp Davidian, it wasn't Christianity that was attacked; it was this madman's perversions that were called into question. If we go to war with Islam, the world's fastest growing religion, we will lose. Obama is correct to not use a term that implicates all Muslims and makes them less likely to help authorities identify potential threats. I've been to Moslem countries and know that most Moslems are peace loving and want much the same things for their children that we do.<br /><br />Aside from the stupidity of Congress doing nothing to outlaw weapons of war on our streets, a huge issue is the defunding of mental health organizations in this country. Many troubled people seek death by cop, and actively want to be shot by the police. As someone close to our local police department, I know how much an officer can be traumatized by having to shoot someone. <br /><br />We need common sense solutions to our problems. Donald Trump feeds upon people's fears and prejudices. He must be denounced for the opportunistic, self-centered individual he is. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-56228407700253650902016-06-14T10:56:23.312-04:002016-06-14T10:56:23.312-04:00Yes, indeed.
