Currently the attacks are monthly in the UK. It won't be long before they are weekly and then daily. Our politicians just can't grasp that muslim immigration has to be stopped now. Too many are becoming terrorists. Just about all of them are Sunnis. Trump's great arab buddies are the Sunni Saudis. He slags off the Shiites. What an ignoramus.
sounds like a better title for the thread would be, Terrorism, Is there anything the United States should do?
Maybe it is an insoluble problem but there never used to be these lunatic attacks. What went wrong ? Could it be that the world has got too competitive and left some floundering behind with nothing but self loathing and violence to offer.
Notable that the countries on Trump's hit list have not contributed a single terrorist. The ones that have had many hits weren't mentioned. As someone pointed out Trump has business interests in Saudi etc. He is driven by greed not reality.
Over the years USA has had tons of migrants enter all at one time all from one country, first the Irish, then Italians, Germans were always here, there was no single mass migration with them, and then on the other coast more Chinese than you can count, all poor working like slaves to build a railroad, and we never had any problems like this. The goal was always to be a rich American.
And you are driven by BBC not reality. Why don't you stick to talking about some country you actually know something about instead of what you have been fed by your foreign news sources who apparently just live in a world of stereotypes. If Trump is driven by greed like they say, then I am a racist like they say. They have it all figured out and they feed you eat. You either don't know what greed is or you don't know anything about Trump and America. Most likely a little of both.
At least Trump is doing something. That's a lot more than the UK, French, German governments can say. I am not aware of any Trump hotels, etc in Saudi Arabia. In any case, our relation with that country is complex and, in my view, misguided. They have bought off our elites in the universities, entertainment industry and government and now have as much if not more influence than the Israelis. This was clearly not Trump's doing. It has been going on for 40 years or more. If you want to look at a political family with financial interests tied up in SA, look at the Bushes. Of course that had nothing to do with their fighting multiple wars on Saudi Arabia's behalf or ignoring their involvement in 9/11. Funny how the media, which hated the Bushes, studiously avoided that subject. You'd have thought it would have been the first thing they examined but Saudi involvement in 9/11 or supporting various terror groups like al Qaeda and ISIS is never mentioned in the liberal media.

About the attack in London: Has nothing to do with Trump. I would like to see what Trump would do if he would be the president of the UK. The U.K and the rest of Europe are invaded by the Muslim terrorists, the US not because of geographical reasons, and that is the only reason. But Trump has already enough job with his armed Amercican citizens. Today alone already 5 killed in Orlando again. And that's just 1 place and 1 date of the "normal life" in the US. Maybe Trump can say he did a good job as last time in Orlando 59 people got killed (when he was not president) and now only 5 (while being president). This might be a harsh remark but it is based on real figures. New York Times: Gun homicides are a common cause of death in the United States, killing about as many people as car crashes (not counting van, truck, motorcycle or bus accidents). Some cases command our attention more than others, of course. Counting mass shootings that make headlines and the thousands of Americans murdered one or a few at a time, gunshot homicides totaled 8,124 in 2014, according to the F.B.I.
