Trump says clips of Muslims cheering 9/11 exist because other people have seen them

Look, there is no way to absolutely disprove the existence of such a video, so that’s a silly argument that does nothing to advance the discussion.

What I remember was a few men in what looked to me to be muslim attire fist pumping and cheering.

Not thousands or even hundreds.

There’s no way to absolutely disprove the existence of the tooth fairy.

I asked what it would take to convince you that your recollection was wrong, especially considering that no such footage has been found despite what must have been a pretty spirited effort by Trump supporters to dig it up.

Really?

My concern is that some radical Muslims will mix with moderates and blow shit up.

The Chinese never did that, or Vietnamese or Irish and so on.

I think you just like typing fucking racist whenever you have a chance, because it makes you feel important., without actually having to think that a Paris Or London episode could happen again in America…and I hope you are right, but try not to make it personal. It makes you look foolish.

Except that’s also why democracies have Constitutions. I don’t know about your country, but here in the US anyone trying to institute Sharia Law would hit a brick wall called the Supreme Court.

Now, if after hundreds of generations the USA were 100% Muslim, then perhaps it could be done by rewriting the Constitution. That’s fine with me, I’ll be long gone, and the world belongs to the living. Perhaps your ancestors are rolling in their graves now, knowing that your countrymen no longer speak in the old tongue, or that women are allowed to smoke tobacco and vote. Oh well.

I disagree with Trump for multiple reasons, to ascribe my beliefs to “the false dialectic of politics” is to say I haven’t put any thought into it.

It’s not being claimed that not a single American Muslim was happy about 9/11. It’s being claimed that there were tailgate parties in Jersey.

And you are actively defending that claim based on your vague recollections.

It’s become a pivotal point in a hot button populist presidential campaign, and if there was a skerrick of evidence to support it, it would be public by now.

So your continued ‘agnosticism’ about the existence of such footage is very hard to explain unless you are offering support for Trump.

CP is awful. I worked in a group home with some CP individuals. One woman there was at about a three year old’s development at over 30 years old. Sweet Gina. She would have been normal had her father not thrown her at a wall when she was an infant. Instead, her brain was damaged, she got the CP and retardation and a bunch of other complications. Both of her hands were curled from it, but she managed to be able to use her fingertips to manipulate kid book pages & magazine pages of catalogs she liked to look at. She was great, and a tender personality. She had such a complicated life that her physical issues eventually overtook her and she died a few years after I stopped working in that home. But such a nice person, in spite of all the garbage life dumped on her. My coworker helped transport her over to my house for Thanksgiving one year.

It doesn’t take that much compassion to see this sort of thing and feel something. Trump is not only evil; he’s made of wood and has no heart. He’s not a leader. Leaders show people a path to what’s good, useful and helpful.

I think you’re justifying your fear and/or hate of Muslims and/or brown people with fear mongering and your talk about Muslims out breeding “European” folks and how New Jersey Muslims cheered 9/11 even though you can’t find the video and it has been debunked.

You’d be hard pressed to find a single comment in the last few months where I’ve called anyone a racist. You’ve just won the special prize in that regard. Be proud.

But then the advisor is incentivized to do a flagrantly bad job. How long can anyone put up with someone constantly screaming “YOU’RE FULL OF SHIT” in their ear no matter what they say, before 10% of net worth to make it stop starts sounding like a bargain?

Then you are remembering a different video than Trump.

Look, clearly your belief is that Muslims are a threat. This is exactly what terrorists want. They do not want East/West to get along. As Muslims live in Western democracies and become tolerant and liberal it thwarts the fundamentalist’s aim of a theocratic caliphate. By treating all Muslims as potential terrorists you push them towards radicalization. You are playing right into their hands. Whose side are you on anyway?

In Canada it became a bit of a shock to discover the Muslim communities were implementing sharia through the mosques. Once this was discovered, sharia was outlawed.

It’s probably going on right now in some communities in America also, and theres very little to stop it, mostly because sharia is tribal law dealing with everything from dowries to charity to marriages as well as corporal punishment and honour killings, as per the will of Allah.
