This is yet another writer trying to find some way around the reality of Radical Islamic Terrorism and the ongoing war against it. The writer is more bothered by the political parties he doesn't like than he is by the ongoing deaths caused by Islamic Terrorism . President -elect Trump leads the world in dealing with reality. There is a cultural conflict that only one side can win. Western values include complete civil rights for women, LGBTQ, and for all religions and atheism. Western values include democracy . Those beliefs are simply not compatable with the concepts of Radical Islam and Sharia Law. For decades , Western militaries have been killing Radical islamists and Radical Islamists have been killing Westerners. That such authors as this can have such a level of denial to not see the war that rages in front of them does not mean the war is less real . President-elect Trump simply deals with the reality of this war and only through reality can we hope to end the war on all sides.
