Frank.....does make one wonder? Will Trump even get one single vote from anybody who believes in Islam? Dollar to a thousand stale donuts he receives not one single vote from any of these people!!!

Why? If the majority of Muslims are peace loving law abiding citizens then they have absolutely nothing to fear from a Trump win.

And considering that more Muslims are being murdered at the hands of the Islamic extremist terrorists than is anybody else, they have a whole bunch to gain in security and liberty.

you have very little grasp of islam and of muslims. Something you may not appreciate--------long ago (when I was young) ---
there was an objection by the ITALIAN COMMUNITY to the use of the words MAFIA ----or COSA NOSTRA-----because it
seemed like a libel on ITALIANS. The words sorts IMPLIED
that ----those organized criminals were------as Italian as ravioli.
At no point would it have served to POINT OUT-----most of the
victims or mob violence-----were, in fact, Italians

Sorry, but I am a one woman wrecking crew out to destroy political correctness in all its forms. It does not serve us well to pretend that the Mafia was not primarily composed of people of Italian and Sicilian heritage. And thinking Italians and Sicilians know that. And I know something about that since a very large percentage of my family is made up of people who are first and second generation Italians. I also have a lot of relatives who are first and second generation Mexicans and they acknowledge that the drug cartels and illegal immigration problem that we have are largely Mexican. German people are not served well by rejecting the history of the Nazis and the Holocaust.

So far as I know I do not have any Muslim relatives but I do have Muslim friends and colleagues and they are perfectly capable of understanding that Islamic terrorists are also Muslim. Just as it does not serve Christianity well to deny the dark side of Christianity in the Crusades, Inquisitions, Salem witch burnings, etc. or that the KKK or Westboro Baptists claim to be Christian.

Honorable people, however, neither deny those dark sides of whatever our heritage or demographic might be nor paint all with the same brush. If we aren't willing to be honest enough to call it what it is, we will never fix the problems we have.

Why should I delve into the problem with Muslims? I prefer to delve into problems with thinking Americans regardless of what ethnicity or creed is their heritage. I refuse to divide people up into groups based on ethnicity or religion. The Mexicans I know for instance are about equally divided between the Catholic and Protestant faiths but I see them as persons, not an ethnic group or members of a particular religion. Their religious faith and/or ethnicity is just an interesting fact about them. I don't give a flying fig what religion or ethnicity a person is when it comes to what is best for all Americans. Political correctness is killing us--destroying our culture and dividing us more than we have ever been divided. I hate it and will continue to speak out against it. And if some people take offense to that, well that's just too bad. I respect their right to hold whatever views they hold, but I have just as much right to whatever views I hold on anything.

I am of Sicilian descent as well. My grandfather came the the USA with a sixth grade education and $22 in his pocket in 1912. He died a wealthy man, but he always despised the Mafia and the stereotype Italians faced in those days.

FYI: you most certainly have Muslim blood in you, since Muslims conquered Sicily in the 9th century. They proceeded to murder all males over the age of 12. Enslaved the girls and women. Kept the good looking girls, boys, and young women for constant raping.

Apparently little has changed in over 1000 years.

I think for most modern day Muslims a lot has changed. I do not fear my Muslim neighbors, friends, colleagues in the least and I believe they would all intervene to stop a terrorist attack or a rape or whatever if they could. That's what I mean by acknowledging the history and also realistically seeing things as they are but not painting all with the same brush. I myself probably don't have any Italian blood or Muslim heritage, but members of my immediate family married full blood Italians, Spaniards, Mexicans, etc. whose families became our family, so we wound up as a very large family of very diverse ethnic and religious influences. And I love it.

But if we take the Bible and some scientific theory literally and we all evolved from the same original tribe somewhere in Africa, then we all share some of the same dna.
