Obama had the secret power to do so, but some could argue that it was using the same tactics some of us mocked Sanders for. The bombs are troubling, but Trump is mostly gloating about them. Which is not a great look at all. If goes into another anti Muslim immigration spree, I don’t think it will help him much. Well not according to this study: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/muslims-acism-america-most-disliked-group-discrimination-anti-mosque-a7311151.html Muslims are the more disliked group in America. | ||

It was a couple of Irish guys right? That aside, Trump simply understand the average voter and appeals to them in a moral ground first and foremost,, exactly like the left has done since forever. You will all be surprised at the debates when you realize the media cartoon of him as a dumb person is not true at all. | ||

That is not a good sign in my book considering that I have about the same chance to be killed by lightning as Islamic terrorism. But we are now heading towards the talked over discussion of “Muslims, can they live among us in peace?” Edit: I like how Trump links it to immigration, even though the guy is a US citizen, born here. This is the problem with Trump, that he connects events to things he believes are the cause. But in fact the cause is something else entirely and we are not focusing on addressing that problem. This guy was turned to terrorism somehow. They are recruited in some way And if we knew how, we could have stopped him earlier. But lets talk about refugees, because those are scary. | ||

And you can't rule out people's natural instinct of survival. If one group of people have statistically higher chance of causing harm toward others, then you can't blame others for expressing their distrust toward that group of people since we do live in a western society where freedom of expression is allowed. | ||

Can I take the crime rate for any race in the US, show that it was higher than other crime rates for other races and then argue they shouldn’t be allowed to live near me for my own safety? Is that cool? | ||

Again with the book shit, the cluelessness is real, its also why you will never solve this problem. Statistically speaking American Muslims have a lower chance of causing harm to the average american than cops and whacko white dudes. Cops have plenty of distrust granted, but no one seems to have a problem with white dudes. | ||

Totally, as long as you are not going out there and dealing damage to other people and/or their property and not disrupting the transportation flow that slows down the society's function. | ||

Just to be clear, if I show that blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes, you think its fine that I advocate that no blacks should be allowed to move into my community or have their kids attend my children’s school? For safety concerns, of course. We just want to be safe. | ||

I understand the argument you're making Plansix, but my guess would be that there's a pretty large overlap between people who are fine with this that are also fine with a Muslim ban. You're not going to change anyone's mind this way. If someone views segregation and discrimination as reasonable when done for safety and the good of society, they're going to apply that to all contexts. | ||
