“Islam” is an Arabic word meaning “peace.” Prejudice and generalizations about all members of a religion because of the actions of some of them makes no sense.

The fact that Donald Trump says something does not not make it so.

He is running his campaign for president using reality television techniques, most of which are not based on reality, but which garner him incredible free publicity.

And people are buying it. God help us.
