President-elect Donald Trump is handling things a bit different than the current White House administration when it comes to radical Islam. Just after the Berlin Christmas market attack, Trump argued that ISIS represents a "purely religious threat."
On Monday, the suspect drove a bus drove into a crowd of innocent bystanders shopping in a Christmas market, killing a dozen people and injuring many more.
He posted a video prior to the attack on social media in which he talked about slaughtering crusaders who had come to kill Muslims.
“My message to the crusaders who bombard Muslims every day: With God’s will, I swear we’re coming to slaughter you, you pigs,” Anis Amri said.
"The terrorist who killed so many people in Germany said just before crime, 'by God's will we will slaughter you pigs, I swear, we will..... slaughter you. This is a purely religious threat, which turned into reality. Such hatred! When will the U.S. and all countries, fight back?" Trump tweeted on Friday.
