the homosexual predators who became priests, did not seduce boys in the name of catholicism, they were not motivated to do so, by catholicism. as they fondled young boys, they didn’t cry out that jesus is great.

there is one religion, one, that cultivates large numbers of people willing to commit atrocities in the name of that religion. there is a reason why that is. you can ignore that if you want, but if your beliefs require you to ignore facts and empirical evidence, it might be time to get some new beliefs.

No, they used the trust created by the church as a tool to commit those acts. The tremendous power of the leadership of the church from parish to Rome, given by the church and parishioners, created a safe haven for those criminals to assault thousands of children. Muslim extremists distort Islam for their purposes. Obviously there is a connection between Islam and terrorism that can't be ignored. You are right that Muslims wanting to create countries in countries is a problem. It is interesting you say Muslims here are doing a good job assimilating since the Republican party platform is that we need to keep them out because they don't assimilate.

On Fox News, Trump said this of Muslims who immigrate to the United States: "Assimilation has been very hard. It's almost — I won't say nonexistent, but it gets to be pretty close. And I'm talking about second and third generation. They come — they don't — for some reason, there's no real assimilation."
