All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
People in glass houses...Trump avoids his own obvious reflection. The following is quoted from a piece recently posted at Gates of Vienna: "Why is it that cartoons about Islam’s prophet rouse an anger in some of its adherents so intense as to be murderous? ...The answer was actually given by a notoriously corrupt American politician: William M. Tweed, known as “Boss” Tweed, who ran the Tammany Hall political machine in New York during the mid-19th century. Tweed’s plundering ways came under attack by the cartoonist Thomas Nast, whose most famous drawing depicted the portly politician in a fancy suit and a tie bearing a huge diamond stickpin, with a head that was a big moneybag emblazoned with a dollar sign. The cartoons upset Tweed, who said, “Stop them damned pictures! I don’t care so much what the papers say about me — my constituents don’t know how to read. But they can’t help seeing them damned pictures!” That is the key to the cartoon’s power: its instant accessibility. All it takes for a cartoon to deliver its truth and take its target down a peg is one glance — and one laugh. Populations in Muslim majority locations are documented as having embarrassingly substandard literacy rates yet the 2005 Cartoon riots resulted in deaths across the globe.

Compare Megyn's attitude here to your post with Martha McCallum and Pam below. Night and day.
As for Trump I have no use for anything he says and Bill Donahue is just a sorry excuse for a Catholic. Although far too many of them think like him.
Probably why I haven't attended church regularly in many many years...
Unfortunately Bill Donahue and the Pope have similar thoughts on this subject.
The Pope is not a very deep thinker.
