Trump speech to AIPAC

Reader comment on item: Radical Islam creates terrorism

Submitted by Michael S (United States), Mar 21, 2016 at 23:24

Hello, Daniel

You've certainly done a good job of elucidating your views. They are very close to my own. If anything, I'm amazed at the naivete and bias of your interviewer; but I think it's hopeless to think that "Third World" powerhouses like India and China will sympathize with Zionism any time soon.

Of course, you and I disagree on two points:

1. I don't see any practical outworking of "Moderate Islam" in the world; and what's more, I don't consider Islam itself to be "permanent" -- whether changed or not. Islam is based on lies, big lies; and it cannot stand the light of day. The biggest lie of Islam, is that Muhammed was in any way, shape or form teaching Torah. Muslims have been isolated and badgered for centuries, but they aren't as stupid as modern thinkers put them out to be. Muhammed spoke highly of Torah, saying that Qur'an gives the "true" version of it. The Dead Sea Scrolls are now on the Internet, evidence that the Jewish version of Torah has been around, unchanged, since at least 800 years before Muhammed was born. As the truth of this sinks into the Muslim psyche, they will discover that not only are the Jews vindicated, but Muhammed had deceived them. Islam will then share the fate of the Paganism that preceded it. "Reforming" Islam essentially means reforming Muhammed; and one cannot successfully reform a lie: If one tries, one only ends up with another lie.

Concerning the US election, I have decided to support whomever the Republicans nominate; and after November, I plan to support whichever candidate wins the Presidency. Trump is far from an ignoramus, and you know it. He is a genius at real estate, and a genius at politics. When you attack him, you might as well be attacking the rank-and-file voters who have supported him.
