She’s right in saying that there’s a distinct lack of discernment about muslims. Muslims will go on and on about how evil they think it is to live in America or to wear make-up, but when it comes to something that’s of huge importance, like opposing ISIS, they’re afraid to do it. What’s more, our kids are in programs where they’ll learn how to recite the Qur’an, but they won’t be taught what it means or how it applies to our lives. It’s really disappointing.

Jobs can come later. Being jobless does not have the natural consequence of turning into an extremist. To be like ISIS, something has to be very wrong with a person’s heart. Being jobless won’t do that on its own.
