[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With every one of these tremendous acts of cruelty, my only solace is that despite the grotesque defense of this hideous administration - this makes Trump lose support with communities whose votes he needs.

[b]This man was a Christian, and prior to now Trump has had support among Iraqi Christians because they believed he would protect them. [/b]

Now they see he won't. Let's see how many of them are living in swing states:

"Metro Detroit—home to one of the largest Iraqi diasporas in America, along with Chicago and San Diego—also contains the largest Chaldean population outside of Iraq, with estimates between 120,000 and 150,000."

Remind me again how much Trump won Michigan by? Oh yeah fewer than 11,000 votes.

My good friend is Christian, but she was born in Iran - and raised Muslim.  Her family, however, is still practicing.  Her parents - dual citizens - travel back and forth to Iran, spending a few months there to visit family.

Her brother, who works for a big company, travels internationally.   I realize this is anecdotal, but there's no fear living here or traveling outside of the US. I've flat out asked, and we've had conversations around it.

They do come from money, which may make a difference.

So I do question news outlets and perspectives quite a bit, as I'd rather hear it from people affected.  (And no, they are not the "only Muslims" I know who aren't fearful.)

We could discuss this all day, but I do believe that this man's mental illness was a big factor in how he was treated.[/quote]
