The demography is absolutely fightening. At the rate the Muslims are ‘breeding’ and deliberatley, the USA will be a Sharia country in no time. Then you will see civil conflict. We see that in micrcosm in the UK. London has a Muslim mayor and the resources are spent promoting anti Trump propaganda and a conversion to Islam campaign, along with the indisious errosion of free speech and any critiscim of the Koran and Islam.
