New Presidential (HA) Recruiter

[Got Stripers]

My initial post seems to only be a springboard for the ongoing battle I see waging on this political forum, but IMHO and many share it as well, is that this ban will only strengthen the resolve of the terrorists this ban is supposed to protect us from.

Trump couldn't give the radicals recruitment efforts a better boast and considering a lot of these terrorists have and will be home grown, why would we carelessly implement something that will only make it that much easier to convert a US citizen to join their cause.

I'm all for making damn sure we know exactly who is coming and going into this country and homeland security absolutely must be a major priority for any administration in this fd up world we live in, but this move is not making us safer. If I were the IT manager for the radical Islamic nut jobs, man did my job just get easier, see the evil Americans go. If I were a Muslim living in this country, citizen or not, boy not only would I be losing sleep; I'd be getting some better home security of my own.

I'm not sleeping any easier and the fire first ask questions later mentality is dangerous at best. I just see this getting uglier as we go forward, too many people on the streets and too much hatred in the air; man I need a Super Bowl to get positive.

But everything we do angers them. The only way we can get them to stop recruiting jihadists, is to adopt Sharia law, and then nuke Israel. Should we do that to appease them? Obama (to his credit) bomber the bejeezus out of these people for 8 years, and no one criticized him on the grounds that it would be used as effective recruiting.

We let our daughters learn to read, and we don't mutilate their genitalia. That is also used by these barbarians to recruit jihadists.

That's the point. Everything we do that is civilized, makes them (some of them) want to kill us. We will never convince them otherwise. Never.

Our goal shouldn't be to minimize the extent to which we anger these people. The goal is to wipe them off the face of the earth.

if you've reached the point in your life where you've become a terrorist...I don't think you require any additional motivation...you are at "maximum resolve"
