    What percentage are terrorists or potential terrorists?

    This includes those that recruit, fund, enable terrorism.

    This is the kind of underlying attitude by "moderate" Muslims that makes one pause, and decide it is better not to have too many Muslims in a culture. You might never do it yourself, but you will gloat when Westerners are "taught respect".

    They don't "suggest" or give warning, they just do it.

    No idea. Terrorists generally don't advertise their affiliations and intentions.

    Since nobody works for him, it would be a lonely dinner anyway.

    What would we expect from a guy elected with the votes of less that 27% of the eligible electorate?

    Next time you decide to move into a country try not to blow anyone up and see if you have better luck.

    Lol Good for Trump. He keeps moving from win to win. It's refreshing to see him standing up to vermin, and it's great to read all the whining racist neo-fascists on the left is spewing out. Following on the news Trump may get to name a third SC judge, it's been a great day for the U.S.

    Two centuries? Really, you are claiming two centuries with that? Hilarious but, yeah no.

    With all due respect to Muslims, any tradition started by Hillary Clinton is a good one to abandon.

    Maybe after over 100 terrorist attack murders in the holy month, Trump just isn't feeling the peace vibe. I know I'm not.

    Most of which Trump's anti-Muslim policy is (probably) responsible for.

    Oh well. The Ramadan thing? Just Trump being Trump.

    What a disgusting thing to say. We are not at fault for the vile ideology of radical Muslims. These sick ideas predate our involvement over there. These people never have, and never will, know peace. Murder and killing is all that they know.

    Sure. It was "always there".

    But, a person would have to be beyond naïve to not realize that many radical Muslims are using Trump's anti-Muslim policies as provocation.

    What need for provocation do they need? They have been at this for quite some while, long before us waging war there.

    This is a ridiculous notion, that is believed by zero smart persons.

    Yay bigotry!

    Trump said he'd force people to say "Merry Christmas" again like some kind of Banana Republic dictator, but he can't even wish billions of people a happy holiday.

    ISIS was not created because of Trump. And it were not picking countries to terrorise because of "anti-Islam" policies. Example - RF. They recruited half of "Caucasian Emirate" and been propaganding their ideology among our muslim youth through social networks months before my government started invasion in Syria.

    They do not need provocation. They have pretty much political goals to achieve, and if there will be no excuse to continue this war - they will make them up.


    And frankly - you are a secular state. If muslims in your country allowed to perform their rites, wear what they want, if it does not violates law, and have rest of civil rights other citizens have - there is no obligation for any politician to be somewhat specially warm towards them.

    And if you want your army out of Syria - well, that would not stop terrorists. That would probably save Syria from falling apart like Lybia, but this will not stop terror attacks.

    Al Qaeda has a pretty hostile position towards ISIS. Not saying much. They all want to establish Islamic government applying Islamic doctrine as law and have only slight differences in how best to bring that about.

    Well, try telling me that if we will get any serious problems with muslims across Federation. So far we only had them in Chechnya, and pretty much they been dealt with years ago.

    I seen a video of a few non-locals in Chechnya get decapitated with AK's by the locals. 4 Muslims raped a girl and the citizens around cut their heads off with an AK and let them roll in the ditch, followed by dropping stones on them. I like the People from Chechnya, "The Appalachia's of Russia" as they are called.

    Either it is from one of two wars in Checnhya - first of which started from them throwing soviet governor of republic out of window to get his head splattered - or it is members of "Caucasian Emirate" - terrorist organisation, formed in the end of Second Chechen war in 2007, that since 2015 partly sworn loyalty to ISIS.

    These people - are criminals, who are prosecuted by current government of republic and government of Federation. There are way more muslims in my country, and majority of them never even approved what happened in Chechnya.

    Kidding, right? Muslims defile their own religion!

    Why should Trump go out of his way to "respect" Islam when Muslims go out of their way to prevent others from worshipping (or not worshipping) as they please?
