[quote]M[B]uslim-Americans have repeatedly informed authorities of fellow Muslims they fear might be turning to extremism[/B], [B]law enforcement officials say[/B], contrary to a claim by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump this week.
"They don't report them," Trump said in a CNN interview on Monday, in the wake of the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub of 49 people by an American Muslim who claimed allegiance to Islamic State. "For some reason, the Muslim community does not report people like this."
But FBI director James Comey said, "They do not want people committing violence, either in their community or in the name of their faith, and so some of our most productive relationships are with people who see things and tell us things who happen to be Muslim.[/quote]
wasn't there a story of an undercover cop posing as an islamic extremist to try to out other extremists in the community and he was reported to the fbi by community
glad we cleared the air but then again, too bad we had to clear the air at all
Yeah this doesn't matter though, stupid will just ignore it or say it's the government lying.
Trump believes reality is subject to his personal approval.
It doesn't matter. We need to be taking out the families of terrorists. Muslim communities need to have some kind of punishment. They know something's wrong. Muslims have to know about these things, they have to report these people. We have to keep these Muslims out, too. We have to keep them out until we know what's going on.

Won't somebody please listen to me about the DAMN MUSLIMS?
Trumps response to the Orlando shooting has just been a series of embarrasing missteps. No wonder polls look so lopsided at the moment.

i find it bizzarely entertaining that a politician can openly preach a platform that violates humanitarian law

basic human dignity

his entire campaign has been a misstep
two of his biggest platforms is ban the muslims and build a wall and keep the damn mexicans out
we literally have a presidential nominee whose platform is selling hate and fear in order to pander and somehow it has been given a pass so far. hopefully people wake the fuck up and see what a grave mistake this is
