Donald Trump Calls for Barring Muslims From Entering U.S.

 

Updated, 10:42 p.m. | Donald J. Trump called on Monday for the United States to bar all Muslims from entering the country until the nation’s leaders can “figure out what is going on” after the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Calif., an extraordinary escalation of rhetoric aimed at voters’ fears about members of the Islamic faith.

A prohibition of Muslims – an unprecedented proposal by a leading American presidential candidate, and an idea more typically associated with hate groups – reflects a progression of mistrust that is rooted in ideology as much as politics.

Mr. Trump, who in September declared “I love the Muslims,” turned sharply against them after the Paris terrorist attacks, calling for a database to track Muslims in America and repeating discredited rumors that thousands of Muslims celebrated in New Jersey on 9/11. His poll numbers rose largely as a result, until a setback in Iowa on Monday morning. Hours later Mr. Trump called for the ban, fitting his pattern of making stunning comments when his lead in the Republican presidential field appears in jeopardy.

Saying that “hatred” among many Muslims for Americans is “beyond comprehension,” Mr. Trump said in a statement that the United States needed to confront “where this hatred comes from and why.”

“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,” Mr. Trump said.

Edward, tsav@d tanem.
I understand your pain.
Do you know that the way things are going some day, probably not too long from now, when America becomes an Islamic state, look how many goddam "mohammeds" are in your local phone book, the same will happen to all of our churches and kahchkars here?
When will we ever learn to manufacture "qar-berds" (stone forts) instead of stone crosses, khachkars??
They are "reducing our kahchakars to dust"/ How about we manufacture devices to "reduce THEM to dust"?

We as Armenians should know the danger posed by too much islamic infuence in a country. We lived in relative peace in various middle eastern countries only by being low key. and even then, look what happens when a secular government is replaced or assaulted by an islamic one, like in Syria. and of course we were genocide victims in turkic muslim controlled western Armenia. We escaped that to come to the US and the last thing we want is to see the same cancer spreading here.
