​DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION

(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, "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. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump

what hatred there is of the US abroad comes from our foreign policy. Deporting gainfully employed, well-educated, law abiding citizens is not going to do anything but incite more.

Yeah, many things are obvious if you just ignore the data. Pesky facts just get in the way.

Our Constitution says something about the separation of church and state. What was the french revolution about? The ideas for our Constitution were developed about the same time.

Also, the constitution stresses life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Any person of the muslim faith should be admitted to our country. Not banned. I know that there are those who want to come to America and will do us no harm. That's why we have the DHS with ICE, CBP and other agencies. In the meantime, lets create some goodwill.

These people coming here want to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Can you imagine what some of these refugees have experienced? Our biggest current threat comes from those citizens born here who chose to become radicalized.

Keep in mind, the freedoms we enjoy change people. Live and let live. Our country thrives on diversity. Although, there are large portions of our country where diversity is not appreciated. It ends up that the diverse states are supporting all of those states that have trouble supporting cultural differences.

I am a loyal American in opposition. And as posted in other threads, impeach him. He has gone to far.
