[quote]Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called for a "total and complete" halt to Muslims entering the US, in the wake of the deadly California shootings.
He said that polling showed a "hatred" by Muslims towards Americans that could put the nation at risk.
The border shutdown should remain "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".
...
Mr Trump's statement to reporters on Monday said polling firms like Pew Research had data that showed a hatred by Muslims against Americans.
"Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension.
"Where this hatred comes from and why, we will have to determine.
"Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life." [/quote]

No. Because you know, the first amendment to the US Constitution kinda has the whole Freedom of Religion thing.
I can't believe this dude gets as much support as he does.
A ban on muslims entering won't save you for shit. In fact, it'll probably just piss off the people who want to harm you even more because you're just giving them another reason to get pissed at you (and I'm not even talking about this being blatant discrimination).
Is there anything Donald Trump hasn't said?
He'll run out of sentences to demonize people before the end of the year.
"We can't let Syrian refugees in, what if they lie about being refugees and only want to destroy America?"
"We can't let Muslims in, even though they can lie about their religion. It's fine!"
What logic is this?

I think he just wants to ban all brown people from entering.
He is Hitler 2.0 pretty much, not surprised.

Well, I mean, technically speaking Jihad traditionally just means "to serve Allah", which includes helping the poor and being a good overall person - which is what most Muslims probably try to do anyway.
Then again, Trump speaking out about things he has zero knowledge of is hardly news. :v:

He's the front-runner of the Republican Party, one of only 2 main parties. You don't get in that position from a "vocal minority".

It's enough of a vocal minority to possibly get the guy voted in as president.
I hope enough of you are reasonable enough to vote someone in who will at least do the least amount of harm.

What does anarchism have to do with this?
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;49267895]What does anarchism have to do with this?[/QUOTE]
He is referring to perceived threats and how people tend to view them. Some anarchist were violent, most were not.
I honestly hope Trump gets assassinated if he's elected.

Impeached is better. Assassinated makes him a martyr.

a few european immigrants did acts of terror back then, and the sentiment was used to greatly close up our immigration system by a political party appealing to mass hysteria and unfettered racism
I'm really surprised that donald is even getting support. and it fucking scares me.

Want to know how this came to be?
Know all those times some one accused someone of bigotry for not agreeing with liberal views?
Yeah, well people dont give a shit about being called them any more.
Their retort is now "yeah Im fucking intolerant. What cha going do about it?"

It's definitely not that clear cut.
[quote]Muslims and scholars do not all agree on its definition. Many observers—both Muslim[6] and non-Muslim[7]—as well as the Dictionary of Islam,[3] talk of jihad having two meanings: an inner spiritual struggle (the "greater jihad"), and an outer physical struggle against the enemies of Islam (the "lesser jihad")[3][8] which may take a violent or non-violent form.[1][9] Jihad is often translated as "Holy War",[10][11][12] although this term is controversial.[13][14] According to orientalist Bernard Lewis, "the overwhelming majority of classical theologians, jurists", and specialists in the hadith "understood the obligation of jihad in a military sense."[15] Javed Ahmad Ghamidi states that there is consensus among Islamic scholars that the concept of jihad will always include armed struggle against wrong doers.[16][/quote]

He doesn't even have [I]HALF[/I] of the party support.
Keep calling him a front-runner all you want but stop using it to imply the GOP is completely backing him.
[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;49267948]I'm really surprised that donald is even getting support. and it fucking scares me.[/QUOTE]
the republican party has been headed this direction for a couple decades now, they just didn't anticipate someone actually being the embodiment of everything they've been building towards
