For presidential candidates to suggest that the broader Muslim community writ large poses a threat is both wrong and counterproductive.

This is the thinking that has resulted in Belgium, France, England, Sweden etc. These places have been systematically invaded, had their cultures annihilated, their citizens living in fear.

This means that, for the United States of America, there can be no solution to the Muslim problem that doesn't require an opposing mindset--that the solution sadly, and by necessity must involve consequences that accrue to ALL Muslims.

We simply do not have the ability to read minds. Where were the "good" Muslims in Europe, working to prevent the violent ones within their midst from their violent actions? There were none, there will be none, until consequences befall all of them.

Our goal should be to make America the most inhospitable place in the world to practice Islam. Profile the religion. Islam's propensity to call for Sharia Law makes it a seditious entity and disqualifies it for religious status in this country.
