Trump Good for Muslim Americans

Well, I never thought I'd say this really... but the thought just came to me while watching a CNN broadcast.

Hear my logic out.

First point, I disagree if anyone thinks ALL people who identify as Muslim are an issue.

What we see in the Middle East, is European and Western Coalition forces making a mess of what were largely Muslim states. In Syria, Muslims lived relatively peacefully alongside Christians, but then more militarized Muslims externally invaded, like Al-Qaeda, started killing both Muslims who disagreed and Christian Syrians alike.

Yes, extreme beliefs find a home in Islamic doctrine, the Qu'ran, but then Muslims are human too so have deep seated moral beliefs like anyone else. You might say, such are inconsistent, but nonetheless, they're Muslim however they reconcile their innate human morality with such extreme doctrines.

BUT, if Trump stems the immigration of Muslims, then people will feel safer and provided Muslims like the one on CNN realise they're actually not being discriminated against (and I expect the whole climate will start to change when people realise Trump wasn't as bad as portrayed), then more civil communication will open up.

Under Hillary, Democrats or even the mainstream Republican establishment, they prey upon the fear of people. Divide and conquer is their governing style. Trump, I don't expect will do this. You might disagree. I expect he'll end up the next President. So time will tell.

I'll say, the lady means well. Then again, she's Muslim. Taqiyya anyone?

"Islam strongly condemns terrorism".

Really? How?

Sorry to take your op off course K, but...

I'm not going to argue. ;) It was funny seeing the expression on the CNN guy like "what the... I better just grin and bear it."
