WHOA ! Letter to Donald Trump from Michael Moore: Dear Donald Trump: You may remember (you do, after all, have a "perfect memory!"), that we met back in November of 1998 in the green room of a talk show where we were both scheduled to appear one afternoon. But just before going on, I was pulled aside by a producer from the show who said that you were "nervous" about being on the set with me. She said you didn't want to be "ripped apart" and you wanted to be reassured I wouldn't "go after you." "Does he think I'm going to tackle him and put him in a choke hold?" I asked, bewildered. "No," the producer replied, "he just seems all jittery about you." "Huh. I've never met the guy. There's no reason for him to be scared," I said. "I really don't know much about him other than he seems to like his name on stuff. I'll talk to him if you want me to." And so, as you may remember, I did. I went up and introduced myself to you. "The producer says you're worried I might say or do something to you during the show. Hey, no offense, but I barely know who you are. I'm from Michigan. Please don't worry -- we're gonna get along just fine!" You seemed relieved, then leaned in and said to me, "I just didn't want any trouble out there and I just wanted to make sure that, you know, you and I got along. That you weren't going to pick on me for something ridiculous." "Pick on" you? I thought, where are we, in 3rd grade? I was struck by how you, a self-described tough guy from Queens, seemed like such a fraidey-cat. You and I went on to do the show. Nothing untoward happened between us. I didn't pull on your hair, didn't put gum on your seat. "What a wuss," was all I remember thinking as I left the set. And now, here we are in 2015 and, like many other angry white guys, you are frightened by a bogeyman who is out to get you. That bogeyman, in your mind, are all Muslims. Not just the ones who have killed, but ALL MUSLIMS. Fortunately, Donald, you and your supporters no longer look like what America actually is today. We are not a country of angry white guys. Here's a statistic that is going to make your hair spin: Eighty-one percent of the electorate who will pick the president next year are either female, people of color, or young people between the ages of 18 and 35. In other words, not you. And not the people who want you leading their country. So, in desperation and insanity, you call for a ban on all Muslims entering this country. I was raised to believe that we are all each other's brother and sister, regardless of race, creed or color. That means if you want to ban Muslims, you are first going to have to ban me. And everyone else. We are all Muslim. Just as we are all Mexican, we are all Catholic and Jewish and white and black and every shade in between. We are all children of God (or nature or whatever you believe in), part of the human family, and nothing you say or do can change that fact one iota. If you don't like living by these American rules, then you need to go to the time-out room in any one of your Towers, sit there, and think about what you've said. And then leave the rest of us alone so we can elect a real president who is both compassionate and strong -- at least strong enough not to be all whiny and scared of some guy in a ballcap from Michigan sitting next to him on a talk show couch. You're not so tough, Donny, and I'm glad I got to see the real you up close and personal all those years ago. We are all Muslim. Deal with it. All my best, Michael Moore P.S. I'm asking everyone who reads this letter to go here and sign the following statement: "WE ARE ALL MUSLIM" -- and then send post a photo of yourself holding a homemade sign saying "WE ARE ALL MUSLIM" on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #WeAreAllMuslim. I will post all the photos on my site and send them to you, Mr. Trump. Feel free to join us. Source: http://michaelmoore.com/weareallmuslim
Don't tell me he's one of these liberal 'We're all the same under the skin.' crackpots. The context looks like it was composed by someone who's a bit unhinged.
I don't know where what he says about ""Donny"" falls under; liberal, or whatever, but what I do know is this is so common all around the world. It was once "We are all Armenians" in Turkey. May Soros be involved somehow in this "We are all Muslim" thing? God knows...
"WE ARE ALL MUSLIM"! AGREED! Excellent letter, I moore or less agree with him! Well, except for following a prophet who believed in FGM. Well, uh, I guess a gotta also add: except for not being willing to change our religious texts to remove the parts that terrorists use to justify terrorism. Well, uh, upon further reflection, uh, I guess except for accepting a prophet who was a pedo. Well except for believing (like Jesus also did) that people who simply think differently than me deserve eternal torture. [Uh, let me get back to you guys on this one since there are about 4,395,343 things wrong with Moore's statement that are dancing around in my head, and it will take a lot of time to write them all down - sorry.]
If "We are all Muslim" then, if I had a wife, I could start beating her immediately, and it's approved by god per Qur'an 4:34, so I wouldn't feel guilty about beating her! If I had a husband, could I beat him also, per Q4:34? Seems fair, right?
You seem like a very smart guy... Perfect inferences.... It couldn't have been put this well. Why not starting to beat the sh.t out wives immediately once converted to Islam, let's go...!
This thread is sad and pathetic. With the exception of a couple posts, you tools are honestly having a lovefest with Michael Moore? Who else do you worship? Louis Farrakhan? Kim Jong-Un? Any other nutbags you worship?
Killing gays would also be legal, this Moore character is homophobic women hater. We should use him as a bomb on ISIS, that way he can be with all his Muslim friends.
It would be a lie to say I am a Muslim, and last time I checked, it is punishable: [3.86] How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their believing and (after) they had borne witness that the Apostle was true and clear arguments had come to them; and Allah does not guide the unjust people. [3.87] (As for) these, their reward is that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and of men, all together. [3.88] Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be respited. (posted August 30, 2001 10:35 PM)
It's actually amazing how many people say that Bush screwed things up.....inadvertently endorsing, yes, think about it....SADDAM! Seriously, they are in effect pining for the good ol' days when Saddam was in power ("before Bush screwed it all up!")....Saddam holds the Guinness World Record for most people killed in a chemical weapons attack, for example. Incredible.
I agree on both counts. I'm not particularly a fan of Michael Moore but he's pointing out that first and foremost people are people regardless of any other consideration.
Um guys, before you all get too carried away, when much of the world said Je suis Charlie it did not mean we all turned into french satirical magazines.................. just want to point this out for the litrelists amongst us!
That we be one BIG bomb! Yes, I could (finally, finally!) legally kill all the gays I wanted! I'd start with that insipid troll Elton John (great music, one of my favorite artists, but kind of a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) with his political comments and all.)
