How is it that after an event like the Mosque shooting in Canada, millions of Christians around the world stand up and say they support and respect their Muslim brothers and denounce the attack. Yet when it's a Muslim extremist who drives a truck through a crowded Christmas market, the Muslim community is silent?
I wouldn't be so quick to judge. The people living in those countries are no doing so well and you add the fact that the west keeps meddling in Muslim affairs bring in guns and crime to the Muslim countries. Anytime Europeans and descendants are involved in Africa and the Middle East you can pretty much guarantee they are bringing diseases and violence with them and they are looking to take the natural resources away from the locals.
 
President Trump said many times during his campaign that 'I'm the most intelligent person in this place'.
Isn't that akin to telling the people waving 'Go Trump' plackards and 'Make America Great' that they are thick/stupid/etc?

This is what's wrong with modern American democracy. Why should the politicians pretend to be just live everyone else. They aren't.

Do you realize Hillary, Obama, and Bernie Sanders are also much smarter and much, much, much richer than you are?

Hamilton warned against Demagogues in the Federalist papers. Now you're parroting political hacks who are saying we should only ever vote for a Demagogue.
 
Apple has joined 96 other companies in filing a legal brief opposing President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

It's mind boggling that a temporary suspension of travel to the US from citizens of 7 countries is advertised as an "immigration ban". This kind of astonishingly barefaced lie is what got Trump elected to begin with, and they're still at it.

What about the Muslims living in Europe, America, and Canada? Why are they also silent when terror attacks are carried out in their name?

Because you only read breitbart.

The Muslim community isn't silent on Islamic terrorism.
 
Sweet Jesus, I wouldn't have expected the Trump wisdoms to be so wildly accepted here, as in that there is an actual discussion in here.

Gotta be honest with you guys, I'm quite disappointed. I've seen one particular user in this forum that always caught my eye for his usage of a Dutch right extremist as profile picture, which baffled me as a starter, but this ban gets an actual real-world pass for some folks in here?

Just wanted to write down and share my wondering, don't bother justifying yourselves to me, do and vote as you please.

Since when? Trump's approval rating is by far the lowest in history for an incoming president...sitting at 36% and dropping.
Are these stats from the same pollsters who had Clinton winning by a landslide? LOL! I'm not American but I can't help but be sad at how a (very) loud minority of citizens are doing their utmost to undermine the office of the President of the United States, and this includes much of the mainstream media. It's one thing to disagree with policies and executive orders but quite another level what we're seeing here with open derision and such hatred it's almost frightening. These subversive elements have started a tsunami that only serves to weaken the US and help her enemies. They should smarten up before America gets dragged under the muck and becomes just another ******** country like so many others people try to flee from.

The pollsters underestimated Trumps share of the vote by 2 percentage points.

The national polls were correct and within the margin of error. However, the US is not governed by a popular vote...but nice try.

How many renewals before we accept it as permanent?
There hasn't been any renewal, it's de-facto suspended right now!

And even if it were permanent, which I very much doubt, it still wouldn't qualify as an "immigration ban" or "Muslim ban", since it specifically applies to citizens of 7 countries (irrespective of religion) and not to non-US persons in general, or Muslims in particular.
 
Really? Since I have been listening for years they must be pretty quiet.

That's harassment. Same as it would be harassment to demand your Christian friends directly condemn the terrorist who attacked planned parenthood.

From Islamic groups what about - http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6429710

That's not what Trump himself said.
 
Yep, basically you said that when a criminal breaks into your house to slaughter your family and steal your things, you'd rather look into where their life went wrong to lead them on that path rather than shoot them.
I didn't say anything about myself. You just made that up yourself. Its just a trump supporter making things up they want to be true.

It must be so nice to live in a world where any voice that disagrees with you is fundamentally wrong and should be silenced.

Don't worry, the way technology to filter content is going, in a few years you (and everyone else) will only ever have to read things you agree with and never have your perspective challenged. The left is going to love it.

I believe the bible says if 10 people are bad out of a hundred we shouldn't judge the whole hundred.

Which is necessary to stop the next family from suffering a similar tragedy. Your view is based on reaction which is always too late.

I don't think civilisation will survive if we can't challenge each other's ideas. But conservatives can also be pretty keen to hide in a safe space without liberal ideas too.

Oh please, the entire right wing news business exists because of conformational bias. Your post shows it.
