So RPJ was correct. Thanks for confirming. [thumbsup]
LMOA. Yeah, Trump mentions terror or terrorism 31 times, Obama zero. And the Saudi's are so stupid they don't know what Trump means. Trump also said: (Clearly referring to Islamic terrorists)
But President Trump was far more robust, and far more — undoubtedly to the chagrin of liberal commentators — spirited in his defence of young Muslims who are having their minds poisoned and futures ruined.
This is the most effective argument against Islamic extremism, and President Trump put it simply, and effectively, as follows:
Young Muslim boys and girls should be able to grow up free from fear, safe from violence, and innocent of hatred. And young Muslim men and women should have the chance to build a new era of prosperity for themselves and their peoples.
Notice the difference. No apologia for Sharia-compliant hijabs, no caveats or compromises. He goes on:
“…in sheer numbers, the deadliest toll has been exacted on the innocent people of Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern nations. They have borne the brunt of the killings and the worst of the destruction in this wave of fanatical violence. Some estimates hold that more than 95 percent of the victims of terrorism are themselves Muslim”.
Obama’s conclusion in this section was again to quote the Quran. This time, the contentious Surah Al Maidah, often deployed by Islamist organizations themselves when seeking to defend against allegations of radicalism or terror links:
The Holy Quran teaches that whoever kills an innocent is as — it is as if he has killed all mankind. And the Holy Quran also says whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind.
