Trump Attempts To Galvanize Muslims To Fight Extremists Islam

While Mr. Obama used his first speech in the Middle East to essentially apologize for America and 1st World nations and avoid mentioning the extremism that was and still is growing within Islam, to blast Israel and coddle Palestinians, all the things that make Leftist knees go weak (it wasn’t all bad, he did yammer about women’s rights, something sorely lacking in the Islamic world. Of course, he then scolded people for complaining about the repressive dictates of the Islamic dress code for women), Trump is going to reportedly use his speech to call for something different

Trump aims to unite against terrorism in speech before Muslim leaders

President Donald Trump, in a high-profile speech Sunday, will look to set the US and himself on new footing with the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide who have heard much of the President’s Islamophobic comments on the campaign trail and little in the way of outreach.

But the main objective of Trump’s address will be to galvanize the Muslim world into confronting the radical Islamist ideology that birthed terrorist groups like ISIS, which Trump has vowed to destroy.

“Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God … Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person, and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith,” Trump will say, according to excerpts of his speech.

“This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it. This is a battle between good and evil,” Trump will say. “That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires.”

We can certainly expect that there will be some softening, such as we see in the “falsely invokes the name of God” bit (which probably will end up being Allah in the speech, but, hey, we know CNN and other Leftist outlets love replace one word with the other). The problem here is that Mr. Trump is directly butting heads with what has been growing for decades, the notion of hardcore, repressive, medieval Islam. He’s going against what is being taught in Islamic schools and in mosques. Fathers teaching sons and daughters Islamism. Mothers obeying. And it starts with little things, which seem perfectly OK to so many Muslims. And it has spread throughout the Islamic world.

But, this seems to be aimed more at getting the Middle East nations to Do Something about rising Islamism and terrorism. Will it work? Well, Trump’s off to a good start

(Washington Post) President Trump and the leaders of six Persian Gulf states joined forces here Sunday to counter global terrorism, reaching an agreement to crack down on terror financing, including the prosecution of individuals who continue sending money to militants.

The accord came during a series of meetings Trump held with several of his Middle Eastern counterparts on the second day of his first foreign trip, as he sought to strengthen U.S. alliances in the region and isolate the Islamic State and other extremist forces.

A centerpiece of Trump’s morning talks in Riyadh was a memorandum of understanding between the United States and the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Saudi Arabia as well as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The agreement includes the creation of a center in Riyadh to fight extremism.

Instead of going on an Apology Tour like Obama, Trump’s looking to actually work towards something. How much will this help? There’s the question that will be answered over time.

    So trump is starting the Trump Apology Tour in Saudi Arabia.

    Will he reinforce his tough talk about Muslims and Islam – remember he said of Muslims, “There is hatred against us that is unbelievable… It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred.”

    Will he reiterate his “total and complete shutdown of Muslims” entering the US?

    Will he repeat his “Islam hates us” line?

    Will trump’s followers still worship him if he doesn’t utter the words “Islamist”, “radical Islamic terrorist”, or “radical Islam”?

    What if he tries to make the “false” distinction between Islam and Islamic terrorism, since most of trumpy’s followers think that all of Islam is out to enslave non-Muslims.

    Isn’t it time for tough talk aimed at the “Muzzies”?

      Yep. Apologizing for 8 years of the feckless foreign policy of Obama.

  2. drowningpuppies says:

    President Trump called on leaders of the Muslim world to “drive out the terrorists” from their communities and lands during his speech Sunday in Saudi Arabia.

    “A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists,” he said. “Drive them out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your Holy Land, and drive them out of this Earth.”

    Nice to have a real President again after 8 years of that feckless pussy Obama.

  3. drowningpuppies says:

    Say what you will about Trump, but he has balls, big brassy ones.

    Trump wanders into the belly of the terror beast – along with his Orthodox Jewish daughter–and lays out the sins of Islamic Fascism in public and right in their face.

    Nice to have a real President again after 8 years
    of that eunuch Obama.

  4. Jeffery says:

    trump called Islam one of the “world’s great religions”. Like actual Presidents Bush and Obama, trump maintained that Islam itself is not the problem.

    Cult. We suspect trump’s cult followers disagree with him but will also adopt his new position. After all, it’s a cult.

    • It’s not all of Islam that’s the problem, Jeff. Most in the anti-Jihad community know this. It’s many Muslims that are the problem as they are radicalized. Can you at least admit that there is an ever growing segment that is hardcore?

  5. Jeffery says:

    The cowardly trump talked tough about Islam to his followers, then kissed Muslim ass in Saudi Arabia. At least actual Presidents Bush and Obama didn’t say one thing one place and the opposite at another.

    • drowningpuppies says:

      Obviously little poo flinging guy didn’t listen to or read the transcript of the speech given by our courageous President.

      It was YUGE!
