Republican Donald Trump is running for president, along with a lot of other Republicans who are not as rich as he is. Other Republican candidates running get contributions from rich contributors and it happens in both political parties. It would be nice if we had campaign finance reform and could limit the amount of money the candidates can spend but up to now, this hasn't happened.
People like Donald Trump, who is a billionaire, has a huge advantage over the other candidates because he can say what he wants to say, even if it's wrong. Such as the fact that he is trying to lump all the Muslims into just one group. By doing that he's forcing the good ones into joining with the bad ones because he doesn't give any distinction between the groups and why the Muslims are fighting each other.
It's quite possible that the good Muslims feel they can live together with Christians. After all, before Bush-Cheney invaded Iraq, who did respect Christians at that time, has even gotten worse. A lot of this happened because of the way the bad Muslims interpreted their holy book.
There are a lot of Muslims in the world and there is nothing more evident of this taking place than a situation in Pakistan, with a young girl named Malala. Her father, who happened to be a teacher, taught boys and girls, even though the bad Muslims, whom we call ISIS members, Malala and her father referred to them as the Taliban. Since Arab is their nationality and Muslim is their religion and the fact that Malala wrote an excellent book "I Am Malala" in her language, as well as in English, which every American should read first before they see the movie "He Named Me Malala" now showing in the U.S. and on DVD.
The movie portrays what happened after she was shot in the face by the Taliban for going to school, which they considered a sin. The recovery was long and hard and they didn't know if she would even live. Malala's family requested they send her to England because they had better medical facilities and it worked. She states: "One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world."
