Liberals\Progressives prefer letting in Muslims raping women and slaughtering others than Trump building a wall.

Just look at Germany has brought on to themselves.

Absolutely! Islam is the greatest threat to freedom since Communism. No non-Muslim would be free or safe in a Muslim society.

the real concern is the reaction of the US government.

This is patently untrue. Both Christians and Jews enjoyed extensive rights and freedoms under the Muslim Caliphates, with Jews heavily participating in the Islamic Golden Age.

At one point Christians were the majority of the inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire and during the Crusades, Muslim protected local Christians and Jews from the persecution of the invading Crusaders.

In current times, non-Muslims enjoy a lot of safety and security in a number of Muslim countries. Ever been to the UAE, Qatar, Malaysia or Indonesia? There's significant numbers of foreigners and non-Muslim residents living there with a lot more safety and security than even they would find in major US cities.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present our voting public...

More lies being spread to further Islam!

Go ahead people, read up on their last attacks on the world 700 years ago and why it led to the backlash of the Crusades to beat the invaders back.

Islam demands subjugation or death. This is the truth, any Muslim who claims otherwise is a liar (which is acceptable to them) or inept in the understanding of their own ideology.

So... convert people, or be enslaved of killed. This is your choice.

At the moment, I do not feel threatened. Islam has made it clear that they intend to destroy or subjugate the rest of the world. The ignorant/politically correct do not believe this, and therefore are helping them- see Merkel, Obama, etc. If America does not turn back to God, I believe we will one day be The United States of Islam. We are "soft" compared to them. They will take Europe over first, and Europe will assist in their own demise- stupid is as stupid does. In the long run, God is in charge, and my eternity is secure thru Christ. However, I fear for my children and grandchildren. Our future does not look bright. While I'm glad Trump was elected- he is not the answer. God is the only answer, but He wants our cooperation and devotion.

As we watch what is happening in Europe.

Islam preys on the uneducated and ignorant. It appeals to those who feel powerless. I cannot understand the appeal to western women, but neither can I understand why young women prefer thugs.

Oh, and of course you're one of God's people right? I find it humorous how so many religious folks always assume that THEY are the chosen ones, THEY belong to the right religion, and THEY are the ones blessed by God, when they have no way of knowing that for sure.

As for the answer to OP's question, I don't feel threatened by the worldwide rise of Islam or any other religion. I'll die whenever my time is up, and not even the most overzealous TSA agent can prevent it. I can delay my death much more effectively keeping a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and driving defensively than by harboring paranoid feelings about Muslims.
