Trump calls for 'looking at the mosques'

By Jesse Byrnes

Donald Trump on Monday said the United States must look at its mosques in response to the Orlando, Fla., terror attack in which a gunman killed 49 people at a nightclub.

"We have to be very strong with our military, with our security. We have to be extremely strong," Trump said during a phone interview on "Fox and Friends."

"We have to be very strong in terms of looking at the mosques, you know, which a lot of people say, 'Oh, we don't want to do that. We don't want to do that.' We're beyond that."

Trump similarly called for domestic surveillance of mosques in the U.S. after the Paris attacks in November 2015. He has since claimed the title of being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

as we start looking at the churches that all of the nutjobs who bomb and shoot up Planned Parenthood clinics, shoot and kill doctors who work at those clinics, shoot up churches, movie theatres, schools...etc, go to.

But let's start "looking at" those first.

Perhaps 'they' should be looking at everywhere where bigoted ideas are shared, nourished and spread in tax-free surroundings.

Trump wants this to be blamed on Muslims, doesn't he? He's a very stupid and dangerous man. Please don't elect him.
