Re: Muslim And American

Firstly, your first post was logical but the second post was again defensive that you accuse us Americans to be all the time. Btw, you are wrong on Trump as he never said about deporting american muslims, but about curbing immigration from those countries. I do see his bigoted point, but he was railed even by the GOP let alone the democrats. I don’t know if you visit those threads or not, but I am never a laptop to CENTCOMM whenever he posts his threads.

Americans are also aware (at least partially) of what their govt does which has fueled the rise of Sanders and Trump. The only american soft spot (for now..) is Israel but UK is allied with them as well. You guys make a huff and puff but blair still went into iraq and libya still got bombed. I would give french more respect on these issues as they stayed out of the war notwithstanding accusations of being pussies and being part of “old europe”. Sure, there were “freedom fries” in DC but everyone chuckled on the stupidity of the GOP and it eventually went away.

Every country - be it Muslim or non Muslim has right wing trolls in politics, you guys have found Trump for the moment, and the guy enjoys more of a popular celebrity status in America than most right wing leaders do in Europe. But reality is, extreme far right parties in Britain had never gained more than seat or two in the parliament. BNP, EDL, UKIP have all been massive electoral failures.

What I find is audacity of stupid God Bless America trolls who are quick to dump this uniquely American Trump trash on every politician they find from Europe or from anywhere without having a clue about ground realities.

Blair went into Iraq then so did Bush and Obama also dropped bombs - the foreign policy of this unholy alliance will always be identical. But for ignorant across the pond fools - Blair cannot be compared to your American Trump because it was under Blair that unprecedented funds were pumped into welfare system, in particular NHS. The immigration policy was so relaxed for so long despite high level of migrants from non European countries. He never provoked any inter racial discontent with bigoted remarks. In short, the only biggest crime he committed was going into Iraq, otherwise in domestic affairs, he was very committed to Labour party’s pro welfare politics and high public spending. Does that sound like Trump?

To call Cameron a Trump for making ever so relevant and fair point about integration is a pathetically extremist mindset.

But the point remains - if Desi Americans can turn Obama into a God for just turning up at Mosque, then this Dave fella has done the same thing long before anyone whispered this idea in Obama’s ears. Should he also be given credit?
