I like Trump, you don't, so how in the world can my opinion of him serve as a premise in an argument against my judgement? It can't. Stay on the subject. This could have been your brother. Then what? You're not protecting yourselves. You need to push back at Islam. First intellectually and then following what's necessary to defend honest expression on the subject. If it means blood in the streets, blood in the streets. The alternative will be worse. I just read an amazing book by Arthur Conan Doyle, written in 1897 about some tourists on the Nile who get captured by Muslim Dervishes. Here's a passage that's ominously prescient about Islam's inevitable challenge to Europe: "The great red sun was down with half its disc slipped behind the violet bank upon the horizon. It was the hour of Arab prayer. An older and more learned civilisation would have turned to that magnificent thing upon the skyline and adored that. But these wild children of the desert were nobler in essentials than the polished Persian. To them the ideal was higher than the material, and it was with their backs to the sun and their faces to the central shrine of their religion that they prayed. And how they prayed, these fanatical Moslems! Wrapt, absorbed, with yearning eyes and shining faces, rising, stooping, grovelling with their foreheads upon their praying carpets. Who could doubt, as he watched their strenuous, heart-whole devotion, that here was a great living power in the world, reactionary but tremendous, countless millions all thinking as one from Cape Juby to the confines of China? Let a common wave pass over them, let a great soldier or organiser arise among them to use the grand material at his hand, and who shall say that this may not be the besom with which Providence may sweep the rotten, decadent, impossible, half-hearted south of Europe, as it did a thousand years ago, until it makes room for a sounder stock?"
