Thundarr, hope you didn't cite that link as attempted proof of your previous statement that 1 in 5 Muslims are out to get you. Untrue, unrelated; unreferenced hearsay, on both counts. Offensive, on all counts. FWIW I'm not out to get you either. Should I be locked up just in case? Or just denied entry, for excess melanin? Not trying to be obnoxious, but it's hard not to take 'othering' personally when it's in fact intentionally personal. Turn it down, dude.

Incidentally, the psychiatrist who originally codified NPD in DSMV asked that people refrain from armchair-diagnosing Mr Trump with narcissism - because he feels it is unfair to the honestly mentally ill, to be lumped into the Trump category. A kindly man.

I find it odd that Native Americans were here before anyone; what if my ancestors did what Trump is proposing to do?  That would mean Trump and his people would be out. Or never allowed in in the first place.

Somehow the plight of the kind Native gets lost hmmm

The article he posted mentions nothing about the mullahs and so he is just throwing out random offensive $h!te.

That site looks like it is for very immature people. I mean really really immature, insecure people, kind of like an MLCer in teenage monstering stage. Even if you have moral issues with homosexuality, wearing a t-shirt that says "Socialism is for Fags" with a picture of Che Guevara and a limp wrist has got to be one of the most juvenile and immature things I have ever seen in my life (see the shop). And who needs a t-shirt that says "Not Gay" on it? Is that coming out of the closet for straight people? Hahahaha. What kind of insecure man would wear a shirt like that? A real man doesn't need to declare his masculinity through a t-shirt like that. The site seems to be for people who are stockpiling food and guns (I'm assuming a C-4 is a gun? But obviously whatever it is the readership is already so into that stuff it doesn't need to be explained). So what are they preparing for? Who do they plan to fight a war against? What hypocrisy!

I didn't look too hard at that article. I just glanced then left it alone. My thing is this. Isn't 'terror' an emotion?

Why fear an emotion?

An emotion is something yourself can control.

Are they saying they fear themselves and their own emotions? I just don't get it, yet do get being kind of scared of being mistaken for something I'm not and being harassed unnecessarily when it's talked about everyday on tv and have a clown in the White House trying to do that.

I see being 'scared of terrorism' the same as being 'scared of the boogeyman'. Unnecessary fear of nothing.

Thundarr,

I feel sorry that you have chosen to read this nonsense. I agree with C4 and OSB concerning this article. Please find below the list of reputable news outlets directly from Sweden so that you can inform yourself better on what is going on in that country with regard to immigrants as well.

Swedish Government (English)
http://www.sweden.gov.se/sb/d/586   Press Releases for All Ministries   
     
Ministry of Health & Social Affairs           
http://www.regeringen.se/sb/ d/1474    Swedish Press Releases   

Parliament - Press Releases
http://www.riksdagen.se/sv/Start/Press-startsida/    Press releases - Swedish
http://www.riksdagen.se/sv/Debatter--be$l()t/Debatter-och-be$l()t-om-forslag/  Debates and Decisions on Proposals - Swedish     

The Local:  Sweden's News in English
http://www.thelocal.se/                 
Searchable.   

We still do not have the mullah's name and the statistics as to the number of his actual followers. You site the "facts" like Trump does. He always says " I am hearing" this is that. Statistics, unlike ideology/religion based fear mongering,  is actually is a precise science. 

N.B. If you want us to rally beyond this absurd you can forget about it.

I swore I wouldn't post here again, but I have to defend Sweden, which is my native country.

You publish rubbish Thundarr. I have family in Sweden and was there myself last summer. There was a long article in Dagens Nyheter (the main Swedish newspaper) today that was even translated to English so that US readers like yourself, Thundarr, can read it and see for yourself how false news spread.

The article is focusing on a small southern town in Sweden where Muslims allegedly have been urinating and masturbating in a church. My mother happens to live in this town, 2 blocks away from this church, where my son and I go every Sunday when we are "home".

Here it is:
http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/from-this-basement-came-a-piece-of-fake-news-about-who-had-desecrated-a-church-in-sweden/

There's not one word that's true in this article or in any of the other fake news you salivate over, Thundarr. I believe it has been suggested to you before: get a life, get out and see the world.

And while I'm at it: Old Pilot, what do you mean the world is divided? Seems to me a small percentage like Orange Mess while the rest of the world have no respect. I wouldn't exactly call that divided. Most of the world are in shock over how Americans could elect a person so utterly lacking in intelligence, diplomacy, tact, and common sense as Trump.

Well we did elect Trump and the UK did Brexit, Israel and the Arabs don't get along, Taiwanese and China, North Korea and the rest of the world.
I am sure there are others.

I personally had no respect for Clinton, so say whatever you want about Trump he is better than her.
I think the Democrats could get me back but not by moving further away from the center.
Both parties have lost touch.

So yes how come we all can't get along?

Answer that and I will say we are not divided

OP, BOTH parties could move towards the middle more.

I'm a registered Dem but have voted for Repub's in the past, (Bush Sr. being one of them).  I have also voted for a few Independents, (Jesse Ventura included).  But the right has gone so far right these last 10+ years I agree with none of them anymore.

I believe Palin and the Tea Party really ruined the R. Party.  They were given too much power and a lot of decent, middle minded Republican's were booted out.  McCain and possibly Lindsey Graham may be the only ones left.  I still have respect for them, even though I disagree with most of their policies.  I don't even think G.W was a far right Republican.

I will never rally around Trump.  His treatment of women and minorities is disgusting to me.
His "nasty woman" comment about our former First Lady and Sec. of State on national TV cemented it for me. 

Lastly I think the FBI Director should have been fired after the stunt he pulled.  One of the main reasons Hillary lost.  He made sure people feared and doubted her 3 days before the election.

The name was Hassam al-Banna that started the radical/militant Islamic movement.  America is not at war with Islam and to even call it that is stupid.  America is at war with MILITANT Islam because their goal is the destruction of our way of life and to either convert everyone else to Islam or kill them.  Do you guys have amnesia or just choose to forget what has already happened here with terror attacks?  How many militant Muslims have you met and how many would it take for you to realize THEY WANT YOU DEAD?  And don't even start on Trump's treatment of women while defending militant Islam where even pre-pubescent girls are kidnapped and forced to be sex slaves.  And as for homosexuals?  In Iran they THROW THEM OFF OF BUILDINGS.  Yeah, let's bring in some more people who believe that's okay and just let Darwinism take over.

Ultimately, there's no reasoning with many of you as all you know are insults and dismissals of facts.  Are the videos of Christians being slaughtered by the hundreds faked by the demon Foxnews?  Did Foxnews pay thousands of Iranians over there to hold "Death to America" rallies?  Did they pay them to hold marches in the U.K. recently chanting about conquering America?  Yeah, Foxnews is to blame.  Have you ever thought about how NOT reporting relevant information is dishonest and FAKE NEWS?  CNN and the Wikileaks comes to mind.  Refusing to print damning information about Hillary brought CNN down, and people like you who resort to name-calling and accusations are what led to the Trump presidency.  He didn't play us; he played you.  The dishonest anti-Trump reporting only served to give him free advertising and call to action those who were intelligent enough to see through it.  Even CNN recently admitted that Trump's approval rating has climbed to 58%.  Isn't it amazing what finally having a President who actually KEEPS his promises can do for patriotism?

Oh, and please read the following article detailing what I've mentioned about militant Islam and why we need all the vetting we can get:
