And liberal web sites such as the Huffington post may decide to put all Trump related news in their entertainment section (a stupid liberal decision which they have since reversed on), but that won’t make him or me disappear. As a matter of fact, I do believe that many people will be in for quite a shock should President Trump win the entire election. There are millions of me around, and our combined power is vast. ---

Look, people, what’s so hard to understand? All he’s proposing is that after President Trump is elected, we declare war on the entire Muslim population of the world and sequester the few remaining survivors into their own (unspecified) part of the world, presumably to live amongst the rubble of our bombing campaign. But it’s not that bad, because we’ll use our atheist Muslim detecting box to tell the good 'uns from the Allah-worshipping terrirists. And if THAT doesn’t get their attention, well then, we’ll just, you know, STEAL MECCA. Duh. What’s odd about that? ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > versus winning only part of the election? Yes, just winning the Republican nomination is only a part of it, so that is why I wrote winning the entire election, meaning both the Republican nomination and the general election. ---

I am aware of that situation of course, but I haven’t paid that much attention to it, as it doesn’t interest me that greatly. I only like to speak on situations where I consider myself to be informed, and I am not informed enough on that situation at the present time to pass final judgement on it, though from the limited knowledge that I currently have about it, my current opinion would be that they should probably pack up their bags, stand down and leave. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > “Final judgment”. > [Interesting choice of words.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeL2qAz2qqI) comparing what people like the OP wants to do to hitler doesn’t work. Either they’re too stupid to get the subtle reference or if you blatantly call them Nazis they just roll with it and say “well maybe he was right about somethings”. Mind you at least he’s ambitious. Hitler “only” wanted to exterminate the worlds 11 million jews. Now exterminating over a billion muslims? At least we have to give Blinkyandpinky credit for thinking big. 🙂 ---

What if the militants were Muslims, but no actual shots were fired? Would you take interest at that point? What if they were atheist Muslims? What if they were Muslims, but one of them had developed a magic Islam-o Test that could reliably determine faithfulness to Islam with an extremely high accuracy rate, and by storming the compound, that knowledge would be lost forever? ---
