Terrorists - what do we do about em

[bimmerfrk]

With all the recent terrorist activity in the world Donald Tump's polls have been gaining steadily.

Just curious to see if people agree with him Hence the poll.

Don't yell at me and tell me i'm racist or a bigot. I just want to get a feel for the sentiment that people currently have.


Do we block all access for Muslims to come to america or vice versa?

<Yes or no>?

[Lups]

Oh come on, put the money in drivers education and less people will be killed yearly.

[vsix]

He has a very rassistic point of view, wich IMHO look's to be only set up.
Set up to gain attention.
Don't think he is serious about some statement's...

[Sara]

For right now, yes. It's not permanent but it's an idea until we can get a grip on this whole ordeal.

[Joekerr]

I see Ms. Bleeding Heart didn't vote, since I'm the only No at the moment. But definitely No.

How does it prevent anything really - doesn't their religion say to lie to infidels (genuine question, I'm not sure, heard someone else say it) - so then the ones who really want to do some harm to the great white satan will just claim to be Jews, or Christians, or Hindus or whatever.

And then what - do we then ban all Christians? All Jews? Where does it end. No, I'd be afraid to see any barring of one religion / race / etc regardless of whether I was a part of that religion or race. Mainly because mine could be next.

But I do think Trump is just using social media in a stellar way. And that's why he's gotten as far as he has, he's very savvy that way. And at no cost to himself - everyone's happy to publish him bc of the outrageous things he says.

That sounds like exactly the words I heard from Trump last night...until we can understand this whole ordeal.

Which leads me to wonder if you even bother thinking?

What is this "whole ordeal" and how do you "understand" it? He talks like an idiot. But he has mass appeal because he speaks their language.

Yes but ISIS really really does hate us and wants to kill as many of us as possible in any means possible... I got to say if not based on religion then what about nationality?

Look at Europe and the attacks in Paris. Would have stopping the Syrians from coming helped? probably not but it would keep a lot more of the garbage out of Europe. These types of people don't integrate nor do they want to. They just wanna see the world burn unfortunately.

Its a tough argument never the less.

Whole ordeal meaning "Act of Terrorism"

[wdb]

Country with "freedom of religion" among its founding principles bars people based on religion. Terrorists win.

[Sara]

My state is going to be blocking refugees from entering, and I support it.

[Needbmwpartzz]

I wouldn't ban all Muslims or any religion or people....just the would be terrorists and filth.

Ok, great, we're getting somewhere. Now instead of that talking mouth with the bad toupee saying "until we understand this whole ordeal", we'll sub in "Act of Terrorism"

So now he's getting a bit more specific and less stupid. Now his statement is "until we understand these acts of terrorism".

Now...what is there to understand? Some people hate you, they always have, they always will. So what is there to understand? At what point will you have reached the point that you "understand" it and then let Muslims back in?

My point is - he's saying nothing. They are a bunch of words, yes, and they sound good, yes, but ultimately he could cut it off with "We're not going to allow Muslims in the country" and he'd be saying the same thing as "We're not going to allow Muslims in the country until we understand this whole ordeal".

IF you take a look at the incident in Cali, the man was born in the US. Sure, he went to the ME to get his bride and bring her to Cali, but he was a US-born citizen.

I looked at my passport, it doesn't have religion box anywhere on it.

The Donald is a consummate salesman, but I don't think he is fit for the Oval Office. Is he just going to fire everyone who tells him he's the Prez, not the Dick(tator)???

[Delta0311]

Hook them each up with 40 virgins now so they resist the urge to blow themselves up to paradise anytime soon. I'm also willing to throw in Sara504 and Lups to sweeten the deal.

[UncleWede]

Oh, and I can't yet confirm it, but during some of the discussion last night I thought I heard that people originating in Syria and Iraq are already banned from flying directly to the US?

Well...how would you identify them? I suspect most of them don't go around announcing their intentions ahead of time....

What amused me was Obama's address from the Oval office to reassure the Americans that things were under control.

So on one hand, Americans appear to believe Obama is responsible for letting these attacks happen because he has to make this address, but on the other hand, they are totally against any invasion of their privacy, so how would one catch these idiots before they do something.

It just seemed bizarre.

I'd rather be safe and alive then worry about my privacy invasion. Come search me. 24/7 monitor me. Just KEEP ME SAFE from a terrorist attack.

First it can't be "racist" Islam is a religion not a race.

Second, your freedoms end where they trample on mine. When your religion tells you to lie to, cheat, steal from and kill those that don't believe what you believe, then your "religious freedom" is invalid because it attempts to infringe on the basic human rights of others including the most basic of rights: to live.


IMO, if the Founding Fathers knew that Islam would eventually attempt to infiltrate the U.S., they would have modified the 1st Amendment, something like:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof excepting any religion which encourages, commands or validates the robbery, deceit or murder of non-believers; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

People like to point out that Jefferson had a Qu'ran translated into English. They fail to look into the historical reason of why he did. Jefferson was running into a problem with Islamic Pirates attacking U.S. Merchant vessels; when he attempted to negotiate with the countries these pirates originated from (the Barbary states) he found that they would say one thing and then do another. So in order to understand their beliefs, he had the Qu'ran translated. Once he understood what he was dealing with, he sent in the Marines to take care of the problem ("to the shores of Tripoli"). By reading the Qu'ran Jefferson quickly figured out what we are so willingly ignorant of today: You cannot deal or negotiate with someone who believes it is their divine right to lie to you, to cheat you, to steal from you and to ultimately murder you. The only outcome of such fanaticism is complete and utter defeat/destruction: yours or theirs, the only question is who is going to make the decision: you or them?

[Mr Tonka]

Can't vote like that.

I'm all for keeping potential terrorists out of the country, but this question says to literally close the borders to all muslims and there are all kinds of people who claim to be muslim. Some do want a fresh start and to assimilate to our culture, some want a fresh start but want to keep their culture, some want a fresh start while changing our culture and some want a fresh start and to destroy our way of life.

But to answer this very simple question about a very complex issue.... I don't see that effectively curbing domestic terrorism any more than taking guns from law abiding citizens would curb gun violence.

I would say they must have extensive background checks,interviewed by some intelligent method to see if the "terrorists/extremists" can be weeded out.....I know very vague right?
Truth is it very difficult to discover these types as they don't usually become known until it's too late....and this includes homegrown terrorist and psychopaths.
