Barack Obama has said repeatedly that Islam is “a religion of peace.” His administration has accused those who do not agree with this proposition — or who dare mention Islamic violence against women and homicidal oppression of homosexuals — of “Islamophobia.” These are fictions and the President has done the country a fundamental disservice by promulgating them. The truth? In Saudi Arabia, the existence of Christian churches is prohibited, along with the Bible itself; no Christian or Jew can enter Mecca or Medina lest their mere footsteps desecrate Islam’s holiest sites. In Pakistan and Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world, conversion from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death. In Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and even the President’s beloved Indonesia, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and other “infidels” often face acts of religious genocide by fundamentalists who invoke core Islamic texts and teachings to justify their actions. In short, as Robert Spencer shows in this work, the creed of Muhammad, far from being a religion of peace, has revealed itself in the post-9/11 world to be a religion of bigotry. amazon.ca

Have you seen & listened in on a Trump rally? Its laughable. He's a lone wolf now, no one on a daily basis can figure out what he said & what he meant , not even his own camp. And this what i'm hearing from some of the most astute political analysts from both sides, they are getting fed up. ( my fave is John Bachelor, a brilliant conservative polymath) Have never followed the GOP pillorying of Hillory, was too blatant & ridiculously obvious partisan BS, stopped at the Benghazi witch hunting. Come on Solon, they had over 2yrs & a slew of endless hearings what did they get? What about her ties to Wall Street? Please, like Benghazi this is such laughable legerdemain on the GOP side, trying to reinvent themselves as the party of the people. Nothing is more ridiculous, the GOP is the party of Big Monopoly, Business & Wall Street, always has been since Abe Lincoln, to the 1929 Crash, to George W Bush. Finally, Richard Armitage who has served as a military and foreign policy adviser for Republican Presidents since the Reagan Administration announced just last few days, that not only could he not support Trump for President, but that he was formally endorsing Hillary Clinton over the Republican nominee: Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush, says he will vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, in one of the most dramatic signs yet that Republican national security elites are rejecting their party’s presumptive nominee. Armitage, a retired Navy officer who also served as an assistant secretary of defense under Ronald Reagan, is thought by Clinton aides to be the highest ranking former GOP national security official to openly support Clinton over Trump. “If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton,” Armitage told POLITICO in a brief interview. “He doesn’t appear to be to be a Republican, he doesn’t appear to want to learn about issues. So I’m going to vote for Mrs. Clinton.” Dozens of Republican foreign policy elites have already declared their unwillingness to support or work for Trump, though far fewer say they would cast a ballot for Clinton. That latter group includes Max Boot, a prominent neoconservative military analyst and historian; Mark Salter, former longtime chief of staff to Republican Senator John McCain;and retired Army Col. Peter Mansour, a former top aide to retired General David Petraeus. More national security heavyweights with conservative credentials could emerge in opposition to Trump in the coming months, though. Several retired generals, some with strong Republican connections, are privately alarmed over Trump’s candidacy and are debating whether to say so publicly. One retired general who served in a senior command role during the Obama years said former generals and officers are wary of the political fray, but that he expects a group of them “probably will try to energize something.”
