People who deny Radical Islamic Terrorism, including Gen. McMaster, undermine America

Hi, Tovey Nobody seems to have answered your questions, so I will look at them:

"what is there to be done concerning those who have already made it here with aspirations of following up the threats and actions of the former Chief Executive, who has made no bones about continuing his ravages against the country he learned to hate from the dreams of his father..."

I seem to be sitting on a tree, surrounded by people busy chopping off the very limbs they are sitting on. One prominent such "hacker" is, of course, our former President, Mr. Obama. There are others -- people trying to destroy the family as the foundational structure of society: abortion advocates, adultery advocates, homosexuality advocates, you name it. Also on this tree, are atheists and promoters of paganism, who want to undermine our religious foundations.

You ask, "What is to be done with them?" I don't know. I personally wonder how President Trump could appoint for National Security Advisor, a man, H. R. McMaster, who doesn't even know that Jihadis are Muslims. He served In Iraq, yet he learned NOTHING. How is our President to run a country, surrounded by such numbskulls? This is the man who will be in charge of Homeland Security. Will he decide not to vet Muslims, because they, as he said, "have nothing to do with terrorists?" This idiocy is entrenched, at the highest level.

You went on,

"Not all who practice their religion want to do so in peace. Islamists have made that pungently clear. So have those who support terroristic intentions under the color of Islam sublimely by playing the compassion card with evil intentions. The enemy does not care who gets hurt: but the hostility held against innocents makes terrorism all that more tragically effective in the evil they purvey."

You used "terrorism" in the generic sense, apparently agreeing with the likes of McMaster. We are not engaged in a war on "terrorism", despite G. W. Bush's having said we are. On 9/11, we were attacked by radical ISLAMIC terrorists, who killed 3,000 innocent people in one go. The Boston bombers were not Seventh-Day Adventist terrorists; the attackers in Paris were not Mormon terrorists. Occasionally, some one-of-a-kind crusader like Ted Kaczynski kills some techie executive because he wants us to return to an agrarian lifestyle; or a zealot like Tim McVeigh sets out to avenge the US Government at Waco. These individuals are not the main threat to our country; and they are not part of an international movement to bring us down. Anyone who isn't deranged, knows that the terrorists at work in Israel, Egypt, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, the US and Indonesia are nearly ALL Muslims. That is reality; that is a branch we can sit on and trust our weight on; and it is utter foolishness to cut it out from under us.
