President Trump Will Give a Speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia
Alana Abramson
May 16, 2017


President Trump will deliver a speech about radical Islam to leaders of Muslim countries when he is in Saudi Arabia for his first foreign trip, the White House said Tuesday.

The speech, said National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, will be "inspiring yet direct" about the need to confront radical ideology.

"The speech is intended to unite the broader Muslim world against common enemies of all civilization and to demonstrate America's commitment to our Muslim partners,"
said McMaster.

It is unclear if any of the the leaders from the seven Muslim-majority countries Trump initially singled out in his first executive order imposing a travel ban — Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen — will be in attendance at the meeting. The second draft of the order removed Iraq from this list, and both are currently held up in court.

"And to help me, I've made up some illustrations that show the journey of Muhammad to the mountain...great pictures, we've got a wonderful "official drawer" in the administration, he used to do court illustrations, and his pictures are so lifelike...you'll believe Muhammad is right here. Muhammad himself... So "Muslims" worship a religion called "Muslim"...no big stretch. The book of Muslim is also known as "The Korean..." (Spice, these people are so serious...can you tell a joke or dance or something to lighten them up? Wait, where are you going?)"

The coauthor of the Muslim ban and the founder of Islamofascism Awareness week at Duke is writing this speech!

Nothing to be worried about here, not a thing.

"He's getting a lot of recognition for the outstanding work he's been doing for many years now. Did you know that he was the first Muslim? A lot of people, they don't know that. No, really, he was the first Muslim. He had the best people working for him. Really, really high achiever, he did a lot for Mecca, built this beautiful mosque."
