I grew up when poeple did not hate Americans and we travelled with our passports worldwide. We did not need hundreds of sand trucks. We could wander on any boulevard in France and not risk our lives.

It's different now and Id like to see it go back to what it was. Watching the Macy's Parade this morning and loving our joy and our joy in freedom and excellence I mourn the differences then vs. now.

These monsters must be destroyed, subjugated and melted into the prison walls. They are inhuman and they must be stopped.

Take the gloves off Donald. Wage War.

You packing your and/or your kids' bags or do you want others to wage that war?

No. Islam has its exemptions for such things as well. They do not believe they would be condemned for contacting pork in such a circumstance.

However, because of the importance of Saudi Arabia in Western--and particularly American--economics, nobody is willing to call out the radical Wahhabism (aka Salafism) that the Saudis support and export to the West.

Other Muslims will tell you about it, but you won't hear American politicians or media call it out...which shows the power the Saudis have in society. And they now have the US fighting as their proxy in their war against Iran.

It depends on who "you people" are. If "you people" are mostly westerners then they have the wrong POV on how to deal with the issue. They need to change their POV to that of eastern European/ Middle Eastern / Asian and enclose the issue. "You people" have learned nothing from decades of wars based on beliefs. The westerners need to leave the regions, create a fire wall and not allow them to cross. Let them fight each other and "you people" should stop joining in thinking they can simply resolve the situation. Syria is entering it's sixth year. Afghanistan/Iraq is entering it's fourteenth year.

As history has shown us under two POTUS, the OP is incorrect and the US needs to completely leave and let the situation run its course.

Why can't we just outlaw Islam in western society? It just doesn't work anymore. We need a divorce.

Looks like ISIS is safe, because guns.
This post is mixing two different time periods and neither have anything to do with this thread. This poster is mixing WW2 Jews with Mandate Jews. During WW2 everyone under the Nazi's were limited in ownership of arms. During the Mandate, the British were blockading the Jews from getting weapons while leaving the door wide open for the Arabs to get weapons. This topic has been covered is past threads and does not need to be brought up and covered in this thread.

Yah, I imagine it would work like Prohibition, or the War on Drugs, or the War on Poverty, or the War on Crime, or Whip Inflation Now, or the War on Pornography ...

It sounds easy enough, but it turns out that Arabic is entwined in a lot of chemistry & astronomy & lab equipment. Arabic was also a step in the preservation of Greek & Latin classics/documents/philosophy/plays/poetry in Western Civ. Arabic numbers, Arabic/Islamic influence throughout the Mediterranean, Spain, Italy, & by extension the desert or near-desert climates of the Americas.

I doubt that we can actually ignore all those people - 1.7 billion or so, across the World. & there's still the question of oil/natgas - the US doesn't particularly need that fuel, but much of Western Civ. does, including Japan, & the Tiger economies.

Are you sure it was really an Islamic site?

I feel the same way about all religious fanatics.

How would that work, exactly, assuming that you had the legal right to do it?

I was satirizing a poster who posted a picture of a death camp and claimed that the Holocaust happened because the Nazis banned guns.

As you pointed out, it's a frequent claim made by certain hoplosexuals who think their personal popguns are the only thing standing between them and tyranny.

Disprove and it pops up again, often propagated by the same individuals. Like Whack-a-Mole.

I apologize if I made it seem as if I was spreading that canard.
