monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I just object to lies being told about me.

lies beong told about their country

Let me suggest some perfectly rational reasons for a negative perception of Muslims to have arisen:

1 Suicide attacks on civilians in Britain and across Europe by Islamists who invariably cry ‘Allahu Akbar’. Twenty-three died and 139 were wounded, more than half of them children, in the Manchester Arena attack of 2017.

2 The mass rape of white teenage girls across Britain by gangs of Pakistani Muslim men; the subsequent cover up; and the denial that there is any religious or cultural dimension.

3 The persecution of Christians in the Islamic world. It is estimated that tens of thousands of Christians lose their lives every year. But blink and you would have missed any coverage of this in the mainstream media.

4 The covering of women on the presumption that women who are uncovered are dressed immodestly and excite the lust of men. As Sheikh Taj el-Din Al Hilali, the former Mufti of Australia, pointed out to his congregation in Sydney, women not wearing the hijab are inviting sexual assault by men. They are, he said, like ‘uncovered meat’.

5 The closing down of free speech and the institution through hate crime legislation of de facto blasphemy laws to prevent any criticism, or ridicule, of Islam and the prophet Mohammed.

6 The killing of twelve journalists and cartoonists in Paris for producing a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed.

7 The prohibition of music, art, literature and dance – the glories of Western civilization – in Islam.

8 The punishment under Sharia law of Muslims who renounce their faith – apostates – by death.

9 The belief prevalent among conservative Muslims that it is their duty to work toward the establishment of a caliphate in which Sharia law, God’s law, will reign supreme and Western secular society will be replaced by a theocracy.

10 Rampant antisemitism and homophobia among conservative Muslims.

11 Women in Islamic states being stoned to death for adultery.

12 The prime minister refusing to allow asylum in this country for Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian under death threat, because it might offend British Muslims.

13 The preaching of hatred of infidels in Salafi mosques funded by Saudi Arabia.

14 The labelling of anyone who wishes to discuss any of the above as ‘Islamophobic’.

Put this all together and is it any wonder that a perception has gained currency that Islamic values are not compatible with our own? That the presence of a fast-growing Muslim population, many of whom have no desire to integrate into our secular society, or to share our cultural inheritance, threatens our Western civilization?

Rational debate might lay some of these fears to rest. Or it might confirm them – and open the way to radical change in the way we view immigration and the integration of migrants into our society as well as to a long overdue debate about how Islam can be reformed. But the systematic closing down of public discussion of these questions, the labelling of those who dare raise them as ‘Islamophobic’, the dogmatic repetition of the mantra ‘we are a diverse inclusive multicultural society’, merely affirms people’s fears and plays straight into the hands of the extremists, the white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

The US government should assassinate the Italian judiciary -- and try to get some of their children as collateral damage (bonus points).

Democrats have barely been able to contain their frustration at what they see as a dark irony in the findings — and in earlier news media reports about the couple’s use of private email accounts. Mr. Trump made Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state a central line of attack in his 2016 campaign for president. Even after the F.B.I. declined to charge Mrs. Clinton for her practices and handling of classified information, Republicans in Congress have continued to pick away at the case.

In 2010 Nunes Defended Protesters’ Right To ‘Smear,’ ‘Say What They Want’

...During an interview with C-SPAN in 2010, right around the time House Democrats were gunning to gather enough votes for their proposal to overhaul health care — a move that would later become a focal point of President Obama’s legacy — Nunes defended the rights of protesters, who shouted the n-word, “homo” and other slurs at Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA).

The Palestinians do.

Since they refuse to make peace with Israel, "what the Palestinians want" doesn't matter to me.

What's important is getting the Zionists to end their oppression of the Palestinian people, NOW.

Since you are defining Israel's very existence as oppression, I am all for oppression.

If we can manage to drive the Palestinians out of Area B, Israel can then take all of that land for themselves.

One of Netanyahu's coalition partners is now publicly embracing fascism.

Quote:

A new campaign advertisement in Israel featuring the right-wing justice minister has made waves ahead of the parliamentary election due on 9 April.

In the video, which is portrayed as a commercial, Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked is seen spraying an expensive-looking perfume called "Fascism".
In the black-and-white campaign video, Ms Shaked acts like a perfume model walking through a luxury home, with soft piano music playing in the background.

A female voice can be heard whispering phrases in Hebrew that mark her key policies - "judicial reform", "separation of powers" and "restraining the Supreme Court".

Spraying herself with the perfume, Ms Shaked then delivers the last line: "To me, it smells like democracy."

Fascism is Democracy.

And let me go on public record here in stating that Nunes has the intelligence of a dead prostitute's kneecap and may or may not have fucked his cow while quoting scripture.

I am rooting for a demonstration to the world that the United States justice system works.

I have no idea whether the special counsel will conclude that Mr. Trump knowingly conspired with the Russians in connection with the 2016 election or that he obstructed justice with the required corrupt intent. I also don’t care. I care only that the work be done, well and completely. If it is, justice will have prevailed and core American values will have been protected at a time when so much of our national leadership has abandoned its commitment to truth and the rule of law.

I am rooting for a demonstration to the world — and maybe most of all to our president and his enablers — that the United States has a justice system that works because there are people who believe in it and rise above personal interest and tribalism. That system may reach conclusions they like or it may not, but the apolitical administration of justice is the beating heart of this country. I hope we all get to see that.

The interests of justice will also be best served by maximum transparency about the special counsel’s work. I don’t know all the considerations that will go into deciding precisely what to say about the completion of that work and when to say it. But because the Department of Justice is guided first and always by the public interest, it should provide details about finished investigations when the public needs to know them, as it traditionally has.

I do have one hope that I should confess. I hope that Mr. Trump is not impeached and removed from office before the end of his term. I don’t mean that Congress shouldn’t move ahead with the process of impeachment governed by our Constitution, if Congress thinks the provable facts are there. I just hope it doesn’t. Because if Mr. Trump were removed from office by Congress, a significant portion of this country would see this as a coup, and it would drive those people farther from the common center of American life, more deeply fracturing our country.

What matters to you doesn't matter.

TWO people ONE Palestine.

Say NO to oppression.

After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!

Trump says a new executive order could strip colleges of funding if they don't 'support free speech'

Quote:

A new executive order from the White House will aim to make federal research funding for colleges and universities contingent on their support for "free speech," President Trump said Saturday.

The announcement, during Trump's address to the conservative conference CPAC, appeared to target complaints by some university critics that institutions of higher education stifle right-wing viewpoints.

"If they want our dollars, and we give it to them by the billions, they've got to allow people like Hayden and many great young people, and old people, to speak," Trump said, bringing onstage a young conservative, Hayden Williams, who was physically attacked last month while tabling for a conservative organization at the University of California at Berkeley.

The executive order, Trump said, would "require colleges to support free speech if they want federal research" money. Spokespeople for the White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

We are here today to take historic action to defend American Students and American Values. In a few moments, I will be signing an Executive Order to protect FREE SPEECH on College Campuses.
