I’m voting for Trump

I am an American-born Hispanic, 64 years old, a veteran and my religion is Islam.

Yes, I am a Muslim and I am voting for Donald Trump.

People don’t understand that America is unique because it’s based on limited government in the lives of individuals, whereas the populations of other countries are accustomed to have the government in their lives.

We can’t transform America into one of those countries.

As a Muslim, I know the prophecies of my religion that talk about these events and how each event will be followed by something even worse.

I ask you all, “What can you give a man who believes he is doing God’s will, his creator and reason for living and will be going to paradise for doing God’s will?

What can you give him to leave his God and accept your direction?”

We need to draw the line and stop acting like all they need is love.

David Colon,

Wilton Manors
