It almost seems difficult to imagine, but it was less than two short years ago that we had a President of the United States who REFUSED to utter the words “radical Islamic terrorism.” And it’s not as if this is some magic phrase that Obama stepped around while calling out this evil in every other combination of words possible. No, the problem is that the phrase was symbolic of Obama’s (and the rest of the Democratic Party’s) efforts to weave a narrative into the minds of the American public: Islam is good. Islam is love. Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. It’s a damn miracle the whole country didn’t wind up brainwashed by the end of his eight-year presidency.
Only about half…
In any event, those days are behind us. In his speech commemorating the anniversary of 9/11 on Tuesday, President Trump made it a special point to remind Americans that this devastating attack didn’t come out of nowhere 17 years ago. It didn’t come from Arabs who can’t find jobs. It didn’t come from climate change. It didn’t come because the United States is a big meanhead to the people of the Middle East. It came about because of one destructive religious ideology that has caused the bloodshed of more people than any other ideology in modern history.
