Reader comment on item: Trump: You Should Ban Islamists, Not Muslims
in response to reader comment: Amusing Article
Submitted by Jaladhi (United States), Dec 18, 2015 at 15:30
There is no difference between an Islamist and a Musim!1 Both are one and the same person! Every Muslim is mandated to spread Islam by any means - the same objective is that of an Islamist! So there you go - find any difference in them!! I wonder who coined "Islamist" ?? Must be a Western apologists' creation or maybe it came right out of CAIR's offices!!
