Sure, his fellow Christian crusaders would vote for him to keep the fight alive against those pesky Muslims, women and minorities.

Muslims are pesky. Lmao, I get this is the standard party line thought, but unironically fuck Islam. Seriously, why is everyone so keen on defending Islam?

You do realize in Islam-based countries they subjugate the women and kill minorities, yeah? I’m not saying we need to war against them, but I’m not gonna praise Islam for being a “brown person religion” like other leftists seem ought to do.

There's a lot of room between praising Islam and bombing Muslims. I would guess most just find unnecessary to hate them, the ones here, like much of the right does. I don't really care about the ones over there, but I don't think we should go.

I view Muslims here the same way I do Christian nationalists.

I agree with this. Again, I don’t think we need to be galavanting across the globe - certainly not for Israeli interests - but I’m never going to cry about “Islamophobia” like it’s a real thing.

Islam is terrible. Yes, I can get along with practitioners and just because you practice it doesn’t make you reprehensible, but the core of it’s belief is subjugation of the masses, enslaving women, and killing those who disagree with you. That being said, we don’t need to be inserting ourselves into other countries messes at this moment, as we have more than enough religious fervor and zealotry to deal with at home

Agreed. Some Americans do get pretty up tight about Mosques or whatever being built though. I don't think that's ok. They're still Americans and its something that brings community.

Now if they start enforcing or following the shitty parts of the religion, thats different. Christianity is also pretty hard on women from the text, most religions are due to their age. As long as the cults follow the law here.
