    McCain on Trump: “I called him the week after the election to congratulate him. He kept on saying ‘You didn’t support me.’ I said, ‘That’s right.... After what you said about Dr. Khan, a Gold Star father, no way I could ever support you.’”

    The Professional Left excoriating a dead Congressman because his response to “the Arab” kerfuffle (11 years ago) wasn’t as sophisticated and nuanced as they’d like is the epitome of where we are today, politically.

    White liberals praising a white conservative for saying that a Black man isn't Arab because he's a "decent," "family man," "citizen" feels pretty indicative of the lack of depth around conversations about race in this country overall

    The quote of the year comes from Angela Merkel: "When the generation that survived the war is no longer with us, we'll find out whether we have learned from history"

    am 20. Juli: Wenn die Generation die den Krieg überlebt hat nicht mehr da ist, wird sich zeigen ob wir aus der Geschichte gelernt haben.

    I would never have said this in 2008 but after 8 years of Obama and one year of Trump, one can easily see that McCain would have made better choices than Obama. It wouldn't be far from truth to say that Trump would never have been 45th president if the 44th was McCain.

    Among all of John McCain's stances, this is the single most important moment in his legacy. Speaking up against Putin, Assad, etc are not controversial. Standing up against a coup which removed an Islamist president is. McCain did not hesitate to do just that.

    In this day and age, decency is absent from our life whether in politics or battlefield. McCain came close to the model of politician who had principles. Like him or not, you want McCain to be your enemy and not Trump or Putin. Characters matter!

    Salahaddin was glorified & respected by the West not because they agreed with his beliefs or wanted his victory but because they knew he was chivalrous. He was decent. He had principles. And even wars did not change his character. He fought but fought with morals.

    Hidden in the eulogies and praise written for McCain is a great admiration for his personal character. You don't have to love someone, agree with him or be on the same side to like someone's character.

    Rest in peace John McCain; a man of principle. He loathed dictators. He stood up for democracy around the world. He will be best remembered for standing up against Trump's bigotry. To God we all belong and to Him we all shall return.

    I spent the eid in Liverpool. A beautiful city. I visited the first ever mosque in the UK built by Abdullah Quilliam. Meters away, there was this giant ad with Mohammed Salah.He is all over the city. Islam/Muslims were, are and will be part of the British experience. Deal with it

    This type happens to be more prevalent on the Left. When one of their own is facing a smear campaign from the fascists, they backstab him in the name of standing for principles and not people! They are cowards who sell their cowardice for morality.

    This type of people have done something good in the past. They might even have gone to prison for sticking up to their principles. But then they use this moral credit each time they want to silence their critics or justify their morally questionable opinions.

    The most dangerous type of self-righteous moralists are those who have actually done something good in the past but then use it to justify their siding with the unjust in the present. They usually start their sentences with "I have spent all my life standing against X but..."

    One of the most dangerous consequences of Islamophobia has been the success in illustrating Muslims as a single monolithic community. That they can't be different & their differences are trivial. That if you are X's grandson, not only you carry his DNA, but his ideology as well.

    Fox News returning to its bread and butter. Race-baiting and manufacturing bigotry.

    The liberal snowflakes continue to suck up to Islamists. They collude with the Moslems to eradicate the proud drinking culture and normalise Sharia. What's next? Burqa proved good to prevent breast cancer?

    Hmm so someone saying false reporting of a family dispute & presenting it as an attack carried out by an international terrorist organisation to feed off Islamophobia is saying that domestic violence & killing women is a trivial issue? Where did you study logic mshan Allah?

    What an insane world where killing of one's mother and sister is "a family matter" as if women are not humans. And taking credit is worse than the murders.

    This is Trump's strategy to secure his core base: be as racist and extremist as you can. Making the issue of the detained pastor in Turkey a make or break point was a part of the same strategy. Apparently, the less religious part of his base needed some racism. Here it goes.

    I have asked Secretary of State to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.”
