The party line on Donald Trump is that he is an 'agent' of ISIS, a 'recruiter' for them.  A typically supine liberal-left line in response to a real threat. Spouting the party line as Hillary did in the recent Democrat 'debate' is analogous to saying in the late '30s or early '40s that any opposition to Hitler would only 'recruit' more Nazis.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are already enough ISIS members and other Muslim terrorists to destroy our way of life.  There is no need to recruit more.  There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world.  On a very<\/a> conservative estimate, 10% of them support Islamic law (Shari'a).  Other estimates are as high as 25%.  10% of 1.2 billion = 120 million, a sizeable number! But of course not all of them would participate actively in terrorist activities.   Suppose only 1% of them would.  That would still leave 1.2 million.  And of these, only a few need to get through with a little luck and the right weaponry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Left's Insensitivity to Danger<\/a> boggles the mind of the rational.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the much-maligned Donald Trump, Conrad Black speaks<\/a> in his defense.<\/span><\/p>\n
