QOTD: "Trump is a symptom, not the problem. And the problem is the cancer in Islam itself which people like [Fareed] Zakaria (and Obama) refuse to accept or even name, deflecting the issue to Trump's pronouncements, which are self-admittedly meant to provoke and almost always backtracked on anyway. In the final analysis, the one doing the bloviating is Zakaria, not Trump.

I am a Jew and relatively as secular in my faith as Zakaria is in his, yet I hope if there were an explosion of Jewish violence and terrorism toward innocent civilians across the globe on anything approaching the Islamic level, I would be doing everything I could to oppose it vehemently and publicly, demanding a deep and abiding reformation of my religion as immediately as possible.

With rare and cherished exceptions, few Muslims are doing that. I'll start worrying about Donald Trump the minute I see Fareed Zakaria using his bully pulpit at CNN to insist on a through reformation of Islam, instead of endless blathering about Islamophobia. Until then, I am, to say the least, unimpressed." --Roger L. Simon
