I HIGHLY doubt that.

Why does Mississippi have the reputation for being one of the most backward and uneducated states? LOL ( psst you already answered the question).

Ok, I give up. Please ,please, tell us why Mississippi has the reputation for being one of the most backward and uneducated states. I can hardly wait to hear.

And I hate Political Correctness about as much as he does.

How is radical Islam the biggest threat to the US? I mean, really. There are over a dozen serious issues the US faces that cause far more social problems, deaths, crime, and dysfunction compared to radical Islam. How does radical Islam affect you personally that you would say it is America's biggest threat? Bigger than the opioid crisis? Bigger than violent crime? Bigger than the active attempt by a foreign adversary to undermine American democracy (unless you believe that every single head of every single American intelligence agency is lying about that)? Bigger than unemployment and the collapse of the American Middle Class? Bigger than a broken health care system that still manages to cost American taxpayers far more than the taxpayers of nations with single-payer health systems? Bigger than the massive influx of billionaire money into elections after Citizens United and how it has competely changed American democracy? Bigger than the effects of Climate Change?

I could go on, but I wonder how you and so many others continue to view "radical Islam" as the biggest threat America faces.

Uh, I'm in the military and have close family in the military. I've deployed to the middle east multiple times. Only two ways to stop them, make them rich (money cures everything) or kill them. Radical Islam much bigger threat long range than anything you list. Life in America has never been better than now, the middle class is stronger than ever, poor people here live better than 75% of the rest of the world. Unlimited opportunity for everyone, never been an easier time to make it. Never been a better time or place to live.

Don't believe the CNN/MSNBC talking points, they are as wrong a Fox News. Be your own person, as my Dad always said, "don't believe anything you hear or read and only half of what you see." I base my views on 50 plus of life and experiences in over one dozen countries and visits to many states and territories.

More people die from lack of healthcare than radical Islam. More people die from police in a week than radical Islam in a decade. More veterans commit suicide from various reasons more than radical Islam. More sharks have killed people than radical Islam in the last decade. But radical Islam is the problem..

Are you seriously concerned about death resulting from a police interaction? Statistics show that between 450 (FBI reported) and 700 (liberal publications estimates) people die each year from interactions with law enforcement, almost all of them are due to aggression from the offender. If you think the police are any threat (as long as you are not threatening), then you have believed way too much BLM idiocy.

Starting with 9/11, over 10,000 Americans have died directly as the result of Radical Islam. Almost 3,000 innocent died on 9/11, since then there have been at least 10 more attacks in the US, with 49 murdered in Orlando and 15 in San Bernadino. US military deaths are in the 7,000 range.

What makes them so dangerous is they believe it is fine to kill innocents and that to die for the cause is rewarded in the afterlife. They have no standing army, but are a dangerous threat and will be more and more active and commit more and more acts of terrorism against Americans. They will grow stronger and will not stop, while we grow weaker and more tolerant (hell Hillary was set to open the door to thousands more).

There are only two realistic ways of dealing with them, make them rich (life in rich Gulf Countries is nice and those citizens don't usually commit terror acts) or kill them. Neither of these options is achievable, we will continue this war for decades to come.

So yes, long range, Radical Islam is a huge threat.

Hold on, now. You are counting American soldiers who died in battle as casualties of Islamic Terrorism? Yeah, it certainly had nothing to do with a field army fighting a war in two foreign countries, one of which had barely a problem with radical Islamic terrorism before the invasion and inept "nationbuilding" effort there. Soldiers who die in a war cannot properly be called victims of terrorism. Unless you want to apply that to the 40,000+ who died in Vietnam, also fighting a counter-insurgency against enemies who used similar tactics. Just because the fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan were Muslim does not make American battlefield deaths count as deaths from terrorism. Terrorism is almost always used to refer to attacks against innocent civilians — not against heavily-armed soldiers fighting in a warzone.

Did the threat go away on 9/12/2001? Or is it under control?

It's under control. I would like to keep it that way. That's why Trump won. He recognized the problem and addressed the issue that Hillary tried to hide.

I approve of his, "Don't let 'em in/Don't let 'em form enclaves" positions.

We should welcome legal, vetted immigrants who have a purpose for being in our country.
