The largest Muslim country in the world is Indonesia and it's one of my favorite countries. The people are so friendly there. I have friends from United Arab Emirates and Qatar. I met their families and they are good people. This idea of demonizing 1.6 billion people is ridiculous. The media makes it sound like half of Muslims are suicide bombers that want to destroy the West, when in reality that's nowhere near the truth. Ignorance only helps terrorist organizations.

Just like Christians, most Muslims are good people. They have a different culture from us, but they are still good people. However, using scare tactics to petrify the masses is better for tv ratings and allows politicians to wage war and get elected.

I could not agree more that traveling is crucial for people. I fear that when you traveled to Indonesia, you went to Denpasar, Kuta or maybe Ubud in Bali (with maybe a day trip to Lombok)? You see Indonesia has been in the middle of a slow and steady uprise in radical Islamic terrorism for a long time now:

History of the Jihad against Indonesia (1441 - Ongoing)

The island of Bali has been trying to fight back. They are trying to prevent immigration to their island in hopes that they can save their beautiful and peaceful Hindu-Buddist ways.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THE ARTICLE BELOW= "Keeping Bali Strong".

There are agenda driven people in the media and the good ol' "academics" who are continually using Indonesia as their prime example of how peaceful Islam and Muslims are. Since they are using Indonesia as their poster child of success are they suggesting we become more like Bali in regards to how to prevent the same thing from happening in the US?

Keeping Bali strong? - Inside Indonesia

I have the opportunity to travel the world and have been doing it for over 25 years now. I have been to almost every continent and hundreds of countries including Indonesia (3 times). We probably agree with the following statement by this well-intentioned poster = "Ignorance only helps terrorist organizations." The Islamic Terrorists are hoping and praying that the majority left-leaning and politically correct western media can be used against us as they continue their slow and steady infiltration of Sharia Law throughout the world:

That's a whole different subject. Illegal immigrants don't get any government benefits, but I do realize that their children can go to school and receive other services. However, we could go on and on listing things the government pays for that doesn't get into our pockets and it won't solve anything. I already mentioned the huge, billion dollar embassy we built in Iraq. Read this:

There are plenty of quotes I can post from the 1940s from Arab leaders who said they would not welcome a compromise, no matter how reasonable, and talked about a war of extermination.

Yea but what is happening now is that Israel isn't playing ball and trying to be part of the solution and we keep sending money, no strings attached

Donald Trump is the leader of the White ISIS?

I was actually a fan of Trump for awhile mainly because of his finger to the PC culture that's especially bad in politics. However, he has gone off the deep end unfortunately.

True, but would you want to play ball with people who want to wipe you off the face of the Earth? Just 2 years ago, Ismail Haniyeh said Palestinians will never recognize Israel's right to exist.

By the way, when money is involved, there are always strings. I think Netanyahu is too hawkish, but he's not nearly has militant as Hamas leaders.

LOL ... Trump was right after-all. All the Freaky-Do-Gooder-Liberals preaching to the world "Come to the land of milk and honey - The USA!". Now you will truly see the sh*t hit the fan. Some of us smart folks are armed and ready while the majority of you have a Walmart Chinese made kitchen knife on your cheap Ikea cork board night stand ... Lol.

So supporting the constitution is wrong? What has happened to the Republican Party. Rand Paul seems to be the only one who still believes in the constituion and small government. The rest of the GOP, Trump especially want an even bigger government than Bernie Sanders.

Hamas is no worse. It takes two to tango.

I think Bernie wants the biggest of them all, and wants to reach in to your wallet to pay for it.

Have a quote somewhere on that or is that your opinion ? Trump is sick of lobbyists, cronyism, and partisan politics making decisions that affect all Americans end of story. He wants a government that acts in the best interests of American citizens, unlike the clown show in office now.
