    Wow, what's ironic is that traditional Islam forbids dancing.

    You really have absolutely no idea about the "innocent" ideologies you're defending do you?

    But thats what happens when you hate your own people so much you'd rather side with their enemies.

    Reporter puts together another lie: "Trump wants to register Muslims in a database!" :flagus:

    Donald Trump was talking about his proposal for a wall on our southern border. A "reporter" asked out of the blue, if he would “require registering Muslims in a database or giving them a form of special identification that noted their religion.”

    Trump ignored the question and kept talking about the wall, and about monitoring mosques as the U.S. has done many times in past years. “We’re going to have to–we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

    The "reporter" then announced that Trump hadn't actually "ruled out" the reporter's idea of registering Muslims... and hey! That meant that Trump approved of it!

    In truth Trump had never even mentioned it. He ignored the reporter's proposal with the contempt it deserved.

    But the lie was planted: Trump approves of registering Muslims in a special database!

    It's the latest in a series of outright fibs the media and other Democrats have ginned up about Republicans. These people know Trump never approved of their suggestion to register Muslims. But they're willing to keep the lie going, in hopes of fooling other people into thinking it was true anyway.

    This is what the media's "we tell people what actually happened" has come to.

    Naturally, liberals across the country are chiming in as hard and fast as possible: "Trump wants to register Muslims!"

    Even when it's pointed out to them that Trump never suggested and certainly never approved of it, the liberals go on screaming as loudly as they can, "Trump wants to register Muslims in a database!"

    Trump didn't have to lift a finger. The liberal reporter made up the charge out of thin air, and now the liberals are trying to spread it as though it was true.

    Is there any depths these people won't sink to?

    You might want to listen to what he actually said and what question he was answering.

    I totally agree that it is appallingly un-American and horrifically offensive on both a moral and intellectual level for our liberal media to keep pulling this type of crap on the republicans while they let Hillary do and say whatever she wants without a word from the MSM.

    The question was asked to make Trump think that it was about Syrian terrorist refugees - NOT ALL MUSLIMS.

    Please post the question that was asked and how Trump answered. Neither the question or the answer had the word "ALL" in them. Clearing the question was meant to imply that the reporter was talking about the refugees. And you know it.

    Didn't expect you to. It's not about logic with you, it's not about reality, it's about how best to annoy conservatives.

    No it doesn't. When was the last time that firearms were effectively used to roll prevent the police state?

    I hate to break this to you but those "old white conservatives" were extremely progressive for their day. They have little in common with modern conservatives.

    You're confusing local customs/edicts with Islam. There is nothing in the Quran that forbids dancing.

    I defend people who follow their faith as having the right to follow that faith. However, I believe that a secular government is important.

    Not all Muslims are our enemies. That train of though mirrors the thinking of the terrorists. So stop advancing the terrorists' agenda.

    Trump and ISIS share the goal of increasing hatred against Islam as a whole. Should make radicalizing Muslims against the U.S. mush easier. Trump doesn't appear to care for our constitution too much. He seems scared sh**less to be honest. ISIS got him shook. Coward.

    Most Muslims are certainly not terrorists, but a great number of terrorists are Muslim.

    EXACTLY. So guns have never been successfully used to secure our Constitutional rights, even as the right-wing seeks to suppress the vote, even with the "War on Drugs" and it's steamrolling of Constitutional rights.

    Which part?

    That pretty much guarantees are response from anyone.

    The term terrorism is highly subjective. Remember when Reagan referred to the Taliban as "freedom fighters?"

    How do you think the British referred to the guerrilla warfare tactics of the colonists during the American Revolution?

    How do you think the civilians who died during American attacks felt?

    The victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings by the US during WWII?

    OK. Now to wait for the flood of right-wingers screaming "OMG! You just called the troops TERRORIST! TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR!"

    The mistake the liberals seem to keep making is that they are still, despite thousands of terrorist attacks and millions slaughtered, is that islam is a religion and not a death cult. But even many of them are beginning to come to their senses, it'll just take a few more attacks like the one in France before they fully do so.

    Most victims of Islamic terrorists are Muslims. If Islam exists only to attack infidels they're doing it wrong.

    Who cares what the death cultists think; once they are all deported from the West - as they should have been long ago - is won't matter as they will be in their countries, and we in the civilized parts of the world will be free of them.

    Not historically, as muslims have been pretty adept at slaughtering millions of non-muslims, and lately they have done an excellent job increasing their focus on non-muslims as well. That they also don't like certain types of other muslims only strengthens my argument that these are undesirable people unfit to live in democratic western societies.

    Perhaps. So why start a list of non terrorists?

    but the list was of American Religious fanatics? they are already in America

    yes and I am sure a list of religious fanatics would be used all the time too.... though maybe not by the religious right in the same way as the rest would use it, they would use it to recruit new members ;)

    after I said that above line.... it occurred to me that ISIS could use it as a recruitment tool too, you make these people outcasts and they would be more easily recruit-able

    Hang on to your panties folks. Trump clarifies.

    Sort of. Kind of. Not really.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ept-of-a-muslim-database-during-rally-in-s-c/

    More than a day after Yahoo News connected Donald Trump's name with the idea of setting up a Muslim database, and more than 19 hours after Trump used the words "absolutely" and "certainly" when asked by a NBC News reporter if he would implement such a database, the Republican frontrunner clarified his stance in a tweet that still left many questions.

    Trump provided no details on who would be included, how the information would be used or how this watch list would differ from those already used by the government.

    First the candidate avoiding taking a stance during an interview with Yahoo News. Then, on Thursday evening, Trump used the words "absolutely" and "certainly" when asked a series of questions by an NBC News reporter about implementing a database or system for tracking Muslims. Later that night, Trump refused to answer follow-up questions from other reporters. On Friday morning, a spokeswoman for the campaign, Katrina Pierson, was asked about the database on Fox Business on Friday morning, and said: "Trump is not taking anything off the table."

    Trump's campaign did not immediately provide any clarity on the issue, but promised that the candidate would address this idea of a Muslim database during a town hall at a college in Spartanburg, S.C., on Friday afternoon. Although Trump was repeatedly asked questions about the Islamic State terrorist group and Syrian refugees, he never brought up the database.

    In the wake of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Trump and other Republican candidates for president have warned that Syrian refugees could pose a security threat to the United States. Trump has said he would bar any refugees from coming into the country and, as president, would kick out who are already here. He has also called for heavy surveillance of mosques and said he's open to the idea of closing some mosques.

    The idea of setting up a database that tracks Muslims in the United States first came up in an interview Trump did with Yahoo News that was published Thursday morning. When asked whether he would support such a database or require Muslims to carry religion-identifying identification cards, Trump would not endorse or condemn the idea.

    Chickens coming home to roost is the way I see it. For 7 years now progressives have been celebrating Obama taking more and more control with his phone and his pen, but now they're fearful that a Republican might do the same thing.

    Trump is a liberal democrat "playing Republican." No evidence that he was Republican leaning before Hillary lost the Dem primary in 2008. Trump just makes up this (*)(*)(*)(*) as he goes along, with whatever he thinks the most gullible republicans believe.
