Trump's unlikely to be critical of Islam in Saudi Arabia
If there's any issue where Donald Trump's likely to emerge a disappointment, it's in his visit to the main bastion of Islamofascism. Specifically, that it's quite likely he won't say anything negative about the Religion of Peace:
Update: here's what the news tells about the Trump group's arrival:
Update 2: it looks like Trump gave a speech that was better than thought, and did mention Islamofascism, more or less.
President Donald Trump will give a speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia and will attend the opening of a center promoting moderate Islam, national security adviser H.R. McMaster revealed on Tuesday.Oh, this is honestly lethargic. With the horrific content of the quran and hadith, there's no way you can build a "peaceful" vision for it. And why do I get the feeling nobody will tell the Saudis to stop forcing women to wear niqabs and forbid them to drive cars? In which case, any attempt to build some "peaceful" vision will only result in failure.
The speech will mark the beginning of Trump’s tour across the Arab world, which begins on Friday and will be his first as president. It follows key in-person meetings this year with allied heads of state in the Muslim world to discuss the eradication of radical Islamic terrorism, notably Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II.
McMaster revealed that Trump will address leaders from 50 Muslim-majority countries, though he did not note which would specifically attend as he seeks to “deliver an inspiring but direct speech on the need to confront radical ideology and the president’s hopes for a peaceful vision of Islam to dominate across the world.”
In addition to his remarks, Trump will also “participate in the founding of a new center intended to fight radicalism and promote moderation” in Saudi Arabia, a country known for its strong links with radical Islam.
Update: here's what the news tells about the Trump group's arrival:
The First Lady wore a long sleeved black dress, but did not wear a head covering, as she exited Air Force One with the president. Ivanka Trump also didn’t wear a headscarf, but exited from the plane via the back entrance with her husband Jared Kushner.While it's good the ladies didn't wear such awful things like headscarves, Melania shouldn't have worn a long sleeved dress either. But on the plus side, if Kushner's Jewish, then it's great a Jew is able to enter a country where Jews have otherwise been forbidden to enter for many years.
