    Mark Esper says that the Fake News got hoodwinked again. There are no plans to leave Iraq a the moment.

    Yeah, I doubt you'd like him. He actually is a moderate, peaceful Muslim.

    The Muslim slave trade was bigger, it lasted much, much longer than the Atlantic slave trade, and there are active vestiges of it still in existence to this very day.

    What point? Slaves actually had rights in the Islamic world. You guys treated them like beasts. Those are the facts.

    Here is the Iranian flag:

    And the terrorists' Islamic Republic flag:

    The Iranian people are thanking Trump today. The terrorists are hating him.

    Well, at least the Atlantic slave trade never had the widespread aspects of genital mutilation and sexual slavery that was always so popular in the Muslim slave trade.
    Leave it to the Muslims to gleefully sink to those depths of depravity and barbarity.

    The only race problem we have in the US is that manufactured by the racialists here.

    Your post is a fine example of projecting what tragically occurred 100 years ago onto the present. That’s what the left does.

    You have to admit, Muslims don’t possess the same weird obsession that Christian evangelists have when it comes to converting brown people.

    IMO, it would have been much cooler (and nicer) if America was founded by Mormons.

    “Abd” is not the equivalent to n*****. As you said, “Abd” simply means slave in Arabic. It does not have the same negative connotations that “n*****” (which was invented by the white man) has.

    Tell me, have you ever left your tiny and insignificant American town?

    I don't see where tolerance comes into what you said. I don't like extremism whether it is Christian or Islam or anyone else. I have no problem with ordinary Muslims just like I have no problems with non extremist Christians. Indeed American progressive Christians are the people who have most informed me about the extremist ones.

    It is no sign of tolerance to like extremists just because of the 'religion' they have stolen.

    He did however bomb some bases in Afghanistan and Sudan, which is not that different than what Trump did.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Infinite_Reach

    Operation Infinite Reach was the codename for American cruise missile strikes on al-Qaeda bases in Khost, Afghanistan, and the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, Sudan, on August 20, 1998. The attacks, launched by the U.S. Navy, were ordered by President Bill Clinton in retaliation for al-Qaeda's August 7 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people (including 12 Americans) and injured over 4,000 others. Operation Infinite Reach was the first time the United States acknowledged a preemptive strike against a violent non-state actor.

    Yes, I have. I have spent years of my life outside of the United States. I was on a nuclear-powered US Navy ship for years, and I sailed around the world... literally, around the globe. I left port in San Diego, and I returned to port half a year later having circumnavigated the entire planet. That was just one of the 5 deployments I did.

    I was all over South Africa a few years ago. I was in Holland and Belgium earlier this year, and I just got back from Ecuador and the Galapagos about a month ago.

    I've seen the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, and the Vatican.

    I saw the Sun rise from the top of Mt. Fuji, and I saw the Sun set on Mt. Kilimanjaro. I've swam in just about every ocean and sea in the world, and that includes the Sea of Okhotsk.

    I swam with sharks in Fiji and drove a dune buggy across the Australian outback to Ayers rock. I've been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and the bottom of The Grand Canyon.

    I soaked my narrow butt in the lovely warm waters of the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, and I slept in a tick-infested field on
    Inishmore of Ireland's Aran Islands.

    That's just a few off the top of my head. I could go on, and on, and on, and there's more being added to the list every year that goes by.

    So, yeah, I've seen the lights of gay paree and I've been around the block a few times.

    And yourself? Seen the sights, have ya?

    Exactly. Like the jihadist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

    "He famously rallied followers with flowery jihadi rhetoric about the glories of martyrdom."

    "The war front is mankind's lost paradise", Suleimani was quoted as saying, in 2009. "One type of paradise that is portrayed for mankind is streams, beautiful nymphs and greeneries. But there is another kind of paradise. The front, he said, was the lost paradise of the human beings."

    "Thousands of followers died under his leadership."

    He was a brutal killer...for Shiite Jihadist "religion".

    BREAKING NEWS:

    General Soleimani was on a peace mission between Iran and Saudi Arabia that had been brokered by Iraq. The Saudi Prince was worried about his relations with the US and wanted to better his relations with Iran. According to the Iraqi PM, Soleimani was to meet him that morning with a message from the head of Iran that he had accepted the Saudi condition for peace between the two countries. This was not something that Israel could accept so Netanyahu called President Trump and the rest is history.

    The broadcaster who stated it was cut off immediately from the air, and I won't mention where my information came from since he fears he will be cut off as well.

    I know that Netanyahu was preparing for a war with Iran at the end of December, so was it because of the peace agreement? Could this have been a last ditch effort by Trump to stop Israel from attacking Iran? Maybe?
