No wonder they keep getting attacked. They feel more emotion at the US president than at the attacks on their soil

All the people assuming the guy is a 'host' of CNN (which he isn't). They are attaching labels and assumptions -- I didn't know who he was -- had to look him up.

Interesting.

CNN Host Reza Aslan called Trump a "piece of sh--" after Trump called for a travel ban after the terror attacks in London today.
He's not a CNN host.
He presents a series about religion televised on CNN.

It's no coincidence that terrorism has increased as the US and its western allies increase their presence in the Middle East.

Where were these ideas 3 decades ago?
Last I checked, they started it. We should not have gone to Iraq, but they started it. And before 9/11 they were bombing embassies and naval ships and marine barracks and taking hostages and all sorts of things.

It really was because the Saudis got lots of petrol dollars and were able to spread their brand of Islam all over the world. We helped the Taliban aka the Mujahideen, and they turned it around on us anyway.

I'm sick of being blamed for their ideology. We didn't cause them to go from mini skirts and co-education in the '40s and '50s and '60s to women in places like Egypt and Afghanistan in public wearing hijabs and burkas. Our worst thing was to buy their oil and make them rich enough to spread like a cancer.

The liberal's answer to immigration reform are open borders and amnesty. Open your eyes people. The attacks in Europe are a harbinger of what awaits us if we do nothing. No thank you. I'm with Trump.

The CNN host was entirely right.

There you go again -- making !@#$ up.

They didn't say they felt angrier about Trump's tweet than they did towards the terrorist....you just added that in to suit your made up story in your head.

In fact what they are saying is -- at such a sad time, it is disgusting that an American politician uses the event to serve his political purpose and tries to influence the court.

It was inappropriate. Today, right now -- a simple our thoughts and prayers are with you.

He summed it up without a lot of chatter.

I stand corrected (see I am an adult and will admit being wrong)

This guy did host a series on CNN -- but he's not a talk show host.

My apologies to those I said were wrong.

I can see why someone would be upset that the POTUS is using a tragedy to push his dishonest agenda. Trump needs to let the "travel ban" go.
