Well, it has<\/em> come to a nightclub, a homosexual establishment, though it might not be near you.  But do you think that this is the last incident of its kind? Bruce Bawer<\/a> at the excellent City Journal<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n

On CNN and Fox News, one politician after another professed to be \u201cshocked\u201d by the massacre in Orlando. \u201cWho would have expected such a thing?\u201d people kept asking. Actually, I\u2019ve been expecting just such a thing for years. The only shock was that it took this long for some jihadist to go after a gay establishment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Islamic law, after all, is crystal clear on homosexuality, though the various schools of sharia prescribe a range of penalties: one calls for death by stoning; another demands that the transgressor be thrown from a high place; a third says to drop a building on him. In Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, as well as in parts of Nigeria, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, homosexuality is indeed punishable by death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nor do Muslims magically change their views on the subject when they move to the West. [. . .]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Donald Trump has many sound ideas, many more than Hillary does.  This is why you should vote for him.  One of the sound ideas is that it it would make sense to have a moratorium on Muslim immigration.  The trouble with The Donald, however, is that he cannot express his sound ideas properly in a non-incendiary and nuanced way, adding such qualifications as are necessary.  So he comes across as a nativist yahoo.  But he is still basically right, just as Lindsey Graham is still basically an idiot for denouncing Trump's proposal as "xenophobic."  Is Graham a closet leftist?  That is the way leftists talk.  Anyone with sense knows that there is nothing 'xenophobic' or 'Islamophobic' about carefully vetting Muslim immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vote for Hillary and you can expect more Islamist outrages on our soil.  In this respect, she is nothing but Obama in drag.  Vote for Trump and the chances are good that there will be fewer such outrages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don't forget that politics is not about choosing between the good and the bad, but between the better and the worse.  You should also realize that not to decide is to decide; in particular, to abstain from our lousy presidential choice is to aid and abet the destructive Hillary.<\/span><\/p>\n
