Mess, and how does he want to control that ?

Muslims exists in every race and they are not an ethnicity like Jews. So basically:

1. there could be white, blond haired, blue eyed people from Sweden immigrating to the USA and could be muslim, even if they don't look like that and aren't born as those 

2. People who immigrate in the usa could pretend they are christian

3. People in the USA could convert to Islam 

Stupid Trump. He is a huge joke 

Yeah but only the brown ones from the sand countries are evil.

Spoiler

And for god's sake if someone can't tell, I'm joking.

It is different though.. you were talking about Europe handling "this one" as if the U.S. is entirely unrelated to it. That's what I meant.

I'm enrolled in a university course about political Islam with several top scholars in the field, so don't give me that. I don't claim to know anything but I do know that the U.S. is far from blameless in letting the whole thing spiral out of control more than it had to. And delaying IS' creation? Entirely false, I don't even understand how you could come to that conclusion, especially when you mock Obama for not recognizing the risk in time. I don't go into it because it's off-topic and frankly, the statement is too stupid to acknowledge.

Well, we're not discussing about whether or not the U.S. has the right though are we? Whatever, I was just offended by some of your statements and I expressed it but this discussion arising out of that is just pointless and without any productive direction, so let me stop here.

lol. Tell me when ISIS started to form? Was it before, during, or after the occupation of Iraq? Because I'm pretty sure the most ruthless terrorist organization didn't form when we were in the country buddy. And it's entirely on topic. If Europe had helped us stabilize the middle east we wouldn't be in this mess but since you spend all your GDP (and then some) on your socialist programs, you don't have enough money to even maintain a well regulated militia. People in the US are tired of being the world's watchdog.

Actually ISIS started during the resistance in Iraq.

At this point anyone who is not and idiot or a terrible person knows that Trump is a joke.

I'm not surprised tbh. He is extremely ignorant and racist. He is clearly not even prepared to be a politician. No one who is actually slightly intelligent would put give him a chance.

Sadly there are many uneducated, ignorant, hateful and not very intelligent people in the US who agree with him.

I'm not surprised by the usual users who believe this crap is actually a good idea. When I first saw the thread's title I expected to find a few posts that confirmed the lack of intelligence and humanity among some people, and let's just say that I wasn't wrong.

I think Trump is attempting a typical conservative strategy by tapping into a societal fear of the "other" (in this case, Muslims -- in the past, it has been African-Americans, LGBTs, Hispanics, and other marginalized groups) in the hopes that it will garner him support. It has, in a small degree (I can't believe how many people I see on Facebook who actually agree with him...), but it looks like the backlash is greater than he anticipated. Because he's a moron.

What he's doing is basically terrorism, though not violent. Or feeding into/off of the "actual" terrorism. Which ever you prefer to call it.

Warning the Americans about the big bad Muslim threat. Sewing the seeds of doubt, fear, anger, and bigotry. It's what the GOP does best and who better to do it than the TV personality/real estate giant that millions had already let into their homes and admired for his tough views. The only thing I ever see literally praised about him is that "he speaks his mind". A lot of people speak their mind. It doesn't mean they're smart or right, it just means they have a big mouth and Trump is the definition of a blowhard.

I get so scatter-brained talking about these people 'cause they're just so evil and genuinely stupid. Proof that you don't have to have a soul to get a lot of money and a big platform.
