Sounds like pretty standard conversational stuff to me. Why raise eyebrows at it?

Notice the explicit framing of Christendom vs. Islam, and that terrorism isn't actually mentioned at any point. If someone believed that all Muslims should be killed, they could easily look at a post like this and think this guy agrees. Also notice that he says we should do all this to radicalized Muslim suspects, meaning we don't need to know that someone's a terrorist to hunt them down and kill them in the name of Christendom. We just need to suspect them.

Agreed I dont understand how this is not considered as some form of hate speech.

All of this is not to mention the phrase "heathen animals," which both dehumanizes and implies their heathenness is what warrants this hunting and killing.

That's going to be great for starting a diplomatic row with an old ally.

Top Law Firms apparently don't want to represent Trump. Cited reasons include: Trump is a deadbeat who doesn't pay, he would kill recruitment because he's so toxic and he clearly doesn't listen to advice so its a waste of time for us to get creamed.

I don't blame them. Just this week, you've had him take a huge dump on the London mayor, probably kill his own travel ban against the advice/efforts of his PR staff, and basically destroy relationships with Qutar which the US has more than a few military bases located in.

Carter Page is the dumbest idiot in the world. He's gotta have the worst lawyers because he can't stop himself from going on TV. Which is the worst thing he can do because he's a terrible liar who either looks super suspicious or self incriminates himself.

No doubt the US military is shitting bricks about Trumps Qatar tweets. No doubt there is already internal talk about kicking our massive base there out or limiting it in some way.

Now that I think about it, I'd wager he doesn't even know we have a base there.

Yay for Trump sparked global Instability!

I can only assume that SA took that as "no radical Shi'a ideology". They won't consider themselves the radical ones. No one ever does, do they?
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

"I didn't want that base anyway." Trump 2017

So, can the state representative Captain Higgins feel real consequences for his "heathen animal" comment or does he simply get a second term for showing all the SJWs how to not be politically correct?

almost noone at least. I'm sure technically there's a few small people who self-identify as radicals; there usually are.

I've said it more than once: working for Trump is a career hazard. Even I've done some slight shifts in my career path to distance myself from the direct chain of command of Trump's administration. Glad I did because being part of this shithole means you get burned when things go south.

I knew he was going to be terrible foreign policy, but this has exceeded my wildest expectations. This is full blown destroying US relationships with our allies and getting nothing from it. I wasn’t concerned about that base closing before, now I am.

Page's stupidity actually does make you wonder if he was capable of was capable of pulling off any nefarious plot.

It'll play well with his base. Just like it plays well in ISIS if you swap "Muslim" and "Christian" in the comment.

"Pulling off" is a stretch here. I'm not sure a reasonable timeline that would expose/end all this stuff faster than we're getting without having a ton more leakers arrested.
