Everyone wants their team to win

Reader comment on item: Identifying Islamists through Interrogations

Submitted by Darwin B (United States), Jan 13, 2016 at 20:19

Trying to qualify Muslims as moderate or Islamist or Fundamentalist, or radical is an exercise in futility. What they are today is not necessarily what they will be tomorrow. One thing is certain. EVERYONE wants their team to win. This is human nature and it is true in sports, politics, companies, and every category including religion. Islam has achieved critical mass as a theocratic civilization and its game plan and world view is well documented. Its leader is Mohammed and its constitution is the Quran.

Containment is the only hope the US has to avoid the problems developing in Europe, Africa, India, and Indoneasia. Restricting Muslim travel and immigration to the US is the only way to preserve this corner of the world from the expansionism of Islam. Enjoy Western Civilization while you can, it will be all but wiped out within a few generations.
