So is that his preposterous position or his real position?
We're in a war with radical Muslims. At this point in time we CAN'T tell the difference between radical Muslims and peaceful Muslims. Getting it wrong could mean the lives of our children.
Trump's calling for a moratorium... time to ‘figure this out’... Since his comments aren't focus tested and scripted by a speech writer... it could have been smoother. He's opening the discussion...
Many years ago - some months after 9/11 I was talking with a Muslim friend who was horrified that he was able to fly without being checked when grandmothers were being searched.
He said to me, “Don't your people know it's people who LOOK like me who are the terrorist?” I tried to explain how we wanted to be ‘fair’ and he kept saying he didn't want to die on an airplane because we wanted to ‘be fair’.
I was unable to make him understand. Today I would know how... back then I just said we didn't want to hurt people's feeling. He thought Americans were nuts after his experience.
