Updated with video of the speech:
Trump starts at 24:00.
—–
Watch live. Trump is speaking to the Islamic Summit in Saudi Arabia now, calling upon them to stand with the U.S. against terrorism.
“This is not a battle between different faiths…”
All this is very well if he allows law enforcement and intelligence agencies to study and understand the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists. But this is not a good sign that he will.
“We will discard the strategies that have not worked,” he said. Now that’s rich.
I unavoidably tuned in late. According to a report, he said that moving toward peace “means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.” That is more encouraging. We shall see how things develop.

Sorry, I don’t buy a word of it. Still I hope I’m wrong. Sometimes it’s wrong to be right.

Trump said: “Terrorists do not worship God. They worship death”.
WE LOVE DEATH!
-K.62.6. “O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then LONG FOR death if ye are truthful.”
-“Convert to Islam, and then you will be safe, for if you don’t, you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that LOVE DEATH, as you love life.” —Caliph Abu Bakr, Mohammed’s Successor
-“According to Hassan al-Banna (founder of Muslim Brotherhood), the Koran enjoins believers to love death more than life. Unfortunately, he argues, Muslims are in thrall to a “love of life.”
-“The illusion which had humiliated us is no more than the love of worldly life and the hatred of death.”
“As long as the Muslims do not replace their love of life with the love of death as required by the Koran, their future is hopeless. Only those who become proficient in the ‘art of death’ can prevail. “So prepare yourself to do a great deed. Be keen on dying and life will be granted to you, so work towards a noble death and you will complete happiness.” (from ‘The Art of Death’, 1946)
-“Whenever (the Muslim Brothers) marched in close formation through the streets of Cairo, their voices rang out with this song: “We are afraid not of DEATH, but we desire it … How wonderful death is … Let us die in redemption for Muslims”, followed by the chorus, “Jihad is our course of action… and DEATH in the cause of God our most PRECIOUS WISH.” – (quoted in Matthias Küntzel, Jihad and Jew-hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11)
-Mohamed Merah (French citizen, jihadist mass murderer) said he “LOVED DEATH more than they (the French) loved life.”
-Abubakar Shekau (Nigerian leader of Boko Haram) said, “I’m even longing for DEATH, you vagabond.”
-Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a LOVE for religion and DEATH.”
-“Let America know that we have prepared lions who would love to die and we swear that you haven’t seen the worst from us.” – letter to Lars Vilks
Lee Hicks says
No, Trump is very deceived.
Allah is a god of death, a false god associated with Bel and Alla of ancient Babylon.
Also, Allah is the clearest display of the corrupt traits of Satan that we have on the planet, and terrorists are simply following one page in his playbook.
Unfortunately, another red flag pops up with Trump, and unfortunately, I expected it.
He will likely move away from the stand of moving our embassy to Jerusalem, and I fully expect him to begin talking about a 2 state solution and the limiting of settlements regarding Israel, as well.
His motivations are different than Obama’s, as I believe Trump to simply be a fool, and not a follower of Allah, as Obama is.
However, such foolishness and pride in the Oval Office can be just as damaging, and unfortunately.
I’m seeing signs that I called it correctly with Trump.
Hopefully he’ll gain some wisdom and move forward in good directions, but I won’t be holding my breath for it.

Watch Trump live: “Terrorists do not worship God. They worship death,” calls Saudi Arabia “sacred land”
……………………
No, they don’t worship God. They do worship the vicious “Allah”, though, like all Muslims.
cunamarra says
In many conversations I’ve had with people about Islam I’ve stated that I believe that Muslims in effect worship death. Sometimes I caveat that with Allah actually not only glories and delights in death and destruction, but also misery, hate, degradation, humiliation of mankind, rape and sorrow, all of which require the living. I suppose it might be accurate for once to call one who “loves death like” we “love Pepsi Cola” an extremist.
With only a few caveats worshiping Death and worshiping Allah are equivalent.
Sarah says
You know, I never liked Trump. I certainly understood why so many Americans voted for him and I had great empathy for them in doing so. And based on a lot of Trump’s own promises, I had certain hopes myself, that he would usher in a change and a disruption to this new era of globalization and the destruction of the West.
Turns out he’s no better than the established career politicians. He is spinning the same old lies that I’d expect to hear vomit forth from Hilary Clinton’s mouth. Albeit slightly more colourful – but its ultimately the same message. Islam is peaceful, terrorists aren’t real Muslims, real Muslims mean no harm blah blah blah
I suppose the upshot to all of this is that right now, the American Left should be sitting back, feeling rather confused and wondering how to respond. After all – they just got exactly what they wanted – so at least Trump selling out so grossly and blatantly should at least, usher in a temporary truce in the ongoing civil conflict in America between the Left and the Right.
Should the Left keep shrieking or find fault in all of this nonsense from Trump right now – then it only really confirms the suspicion that it wouldn’t matter what he said, they just have to scream and rain hatred down on anything and everything said by the Right purely because its coming from the Right. If that occurs – well, it will just go to show that poor America is probably irrevocably broken on a cultural level.
I’m disgusted in Trump’s speeches and actions in Saudi Arabia. Clearly someone is rapidly learning who his master’s are and what is expected of him, in their eyes. What a betrayal of his American voters.
Pete says
Acknowledging soddy barbaria as a holy land is bs. It was stolen from the Jews. With all the evil that moe and his followers carry out worldwide for the last 1500 years, it needs to be purged with nuclear weapons.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Totally debunked nonsense!
The speech was a TOTAL FAIL – and here’s both how and why:
Here’s what Trump SHOULD have said to the Saudis:

And Here’s what he DID say to the Saudis:
