Magnitude and reach of islamic terrorism can't be compared to anyone else's today. Add in the official, embedded goals of sharia, caliphate, jihad, taqqiyah........makes it worse.
Inquisition, Crusades, Salem Witch Trials, some schmucks in Africa or Westboro.....not very timely or good excuses for the jihad.
I think there is confusion between causation and correlation.
Having closely followed the rise of Islamic Extremists over the past twenty years I think one thing becomes clear..
Islam does not create terrorists...Dictators, oppression, poverty, hopelessness, violence and bombs do.
If Islam did not exist, but rather that region of the world believed in the Spaghetti Monster, we would be combating Spaghettic Extremists right now.

lol, yes, terrorists are mostly being created by the dictators of islam (AKA ayatollahs, imams, mufti), poverty of islam (rampant illiteracy that the leaders love to maintain), the oppression of islamic secret police and various thugs, the violence of sunni vs shia vs sufi vs Christian vs kurd, etc.
The divine right of kings or divine right is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God. The king is thus not subject to the will of his people, the aristocracy, or any other estate of the realm, including (in the view of some, especially in Protestant countries or during the reign of Henry VIII of England) the Catholic Church. It is often expressed in the phrase "by the Grace of God," attached to the titles of a reigning monarch.

Well sure if you just ignore all the condemning of the actions of the radicals many leaders in Islam have put out it is easy to say that.
All religions suck, they all promote the same # but just use different words to do it. Oe they decide that they can pick and choose stuff out of the old book and say the other stuff doesn't matter any more.
Oh and the pope hasn't really done much about his priests. Probably the one thing I don't like about him.

Their holy books are imbued with the directive of conquest, killing, subjugation, and tactical lying. Most other holy books decry these things.
"The project was inspired by the ongoing public debate around whether or not terrorism connected with Islamic fundamentalism reflects something inherently and distinctly violent about Islam compared to other major religions."...By categorising words into eight emotions - Joy, Anticipation, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, Surprise, Fear/Anxiety and Trust - the analysis found the Bible scored higher for anger and much lower for trust than the Quran.
Further analysis found the Old Testament was more violent than the New Testament, and more than twice as violent as the Quran..."I must also reemphasize that this analysis is superficial and the findings are by no means intended to be conclusive. Ours is a 30,000-ft, cursory view of three texts: the Quran and the Old and New Testaments, respectively."
It’s impossible to escape violence in any book from that era. Indian scriptures and Greek mythology are no different.
Yet each time one flips through a Quran (or more likely finds a quote posted on their friend’s page) to display the violence sanctioned in that book, recall our own theological foundations. America stands on equally shaky ground. Forget the texts and investigate our history and terrorism makes constant appearances.
A good argument could be made that either book is the most violent and cruel book ever written. The award would go to one or the other, for neither has any close competitors. It is frightening to think that more than half of the world's population believes in one or the other.
Now, in regards to the question I say that if I were to become the supreme leader of the free world I will build a big beautiful wall between Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries and will make Muslims pay for it. Unlike Trumps wall mine will have no doors and no windows and will be as tall as the stratosphere so no plane can fly over it. I have been calling for the secession of all ties with Muslims for years.
When you stop Islamic expansion Muslims turn to each other and will start killing one another. This is not such a bad thing after all considering the alternative which is killing us. Eventually the survivors will come to their senses and will leave Islam. If we keep them at bay at least we will be saved. Leave Muslims alone. Build the wall and don’t peep inside. Let them do what they do best. i.e., killing each other.
I support Trump’s proposal wholeheartedly even if it may prevent me to travel to USA. The point is not to ban Muslims, because it would not be practical in the long run, but to raise an important and ignored issue that there is a problem with Islam and we need to address it. We have been ignoring this problem for 1400 years and Islam has kept growing. The very first people who had to address this problem were the Meccans. They didn’t and as the result the world is paying the price. Time has come to get to the bottom of this problem and nothing more than a crisis will do it.
The key in Trump’s speech is “until we find out what the hell is going on.” Well you and I know what the hell is going on but the world does not. It is up to us to explain it to others. The problem is not people, but the ideology, the religion that inspire these people. The problem is the Quran and the belief in a psychopath mass murderer.
Once the problem is understood the solution will become very easy. All we have to do is show Muslims that Islam is a lie. Nobody wants to believe in a lie. We left Islam, not because we are smarter. We just had the chance to learn the truth. If others are given the same chance most of them will leave Islam too and the rest will be so demoralized that they give up their insanity.
Now, maybe it is just me...but...why would the President of the United States try "wiping away" the country's intelligence on terrorists? T

Because he doesn't want the American public to know who is really responsible for terrorism around the globe.
Our arab allies Saudi Arabia, and our 'new' one Iran.
Can't have the truth coming out for when he gives money, and arms to them.
