Impact of NJ/NY bombings and MN stabbings on the race?

Trump's rhetoric is, and has actually been used by ISIS.

Is ISIS correct in their interpretation of Trump's statements?  Are their actions justified?

When people are afraid, they act irrationally. You, me, everyone.

"Triggered" by Trump in the same way that so many potential ISIS members would be.

Surely an even more significant trigger would be our pluralistic society, freedom of religion, democratic elections, etc.

Would you similarly argue that this is a valid argument against us continuing these institutions?  

After all, if you think we should consider Trump's impact on extremists as an argument against Trump, then you must recognize that this will lead you to argue against freedom of religion, free elections and the like.

Um. ISIS's whole narrative for existence is that Muslims are distrusted and oppressed worldwide. How exactly does another country being a democracy aid in that?

It is not that they (i.e. rank and file ISIS) are offended b the idea of foreign democracies. It is that they are scared of us, and fear breeds desperation.

Muslims are the oppressors in a significant chunk of the world.

Minor incidents  (thank God), so no change or slight Trump bump.

Let's try this another way.

If it was wrong for Trump to say the President was the "founder of ISIS"... (it was indeed wrong for him to do that)...

Then why is okay to say Trump is a recruiting tool for ISIS?

Because he is. They're using him in their recruitment videos/efforts to convince potential new members.

President Obama and Mrs. Clinton have also appeared in such videos.  Doesn't mean either is responsible any terrorism.

But you have a different standard for for them, don't you?

[Adam Griffin]

No change. The perpetual pants-s[inks]tters are already all voting for Trump because they're afraid of literally everything; the normal, civilized human beings who don't live in constant fear are already all voting for Clinton.

It was nothing but a disgruntled American making bombs out of pressure cookers.

So a Trump voter?

I guess the Southern Poverty Law Center can put this one in the right wing extremism column then.

All extremism is right wing. The left only supports positive movements.

Bolshevism is right wing?

Yes, obviously. Anything I disagree with is automatically right wing
