Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, called on Dec. 7 for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." Replace one word in this formulation and it goes from outrageous to brilliant. Reacting to massacres by Muslims in Paris and San Bernardino, Trump pointed to a Muslim hatred "beyond comprehension" for the West. Therefore, he concluded, "Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad." The negative responses, domestic and international, Muslim and non-Muslim, came in fast and furious â and rightly so, as Trump's crude blast is unconstitutional, unacceptable, unworkable, and unstrategic.

Sorry if this has been posted. I checked earlier and didn’t find it.
So not all Muslims should be banned? Then which should be permitted to immigrate?
Still taking a chance, because it seems that in this day and time, Many Muslims are not here to become Americans but to colonize.
“Whenever Daniel Pipes speaks, I listen”
Bad idea. He’s a dumbass.
I stopped reading on the 4th paragraph when he wrote that the ban is unconstitutional.
Send this to him:

Sure would have been nice if Mr. Pipes had some way of actually sorting out the nut balls from the “reasonable” ones. Sadly, he doesn’t.
So the only rational thing to do is stop anymore of them from coming in.

And when the former tries to "blend in" as the latter, how in the world do you tell the difference?
Oh, for Lurline’s sakes. Stop immigration completely. Islam is not of one race. It is not of one sex. Any profiling at this point is useless. Everyone who wants to enter should be viewed with suspicion. It’s unfortunate, but our country, our citizens, and our children are in grave danger. This is no time to play games.
If a Muslim cannot be vetted, they must not be allowed to proceed further. We should’ve applied this same criteria to 0blama. That’s quite obvious at this point.
Law of Submission aka Law of Slavery aka ISLAM vs Natural Law.
God given unalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Islam needs to be eradicated from the world not brought here to our shores. We've already got our enemy within----The DEMONCRATS
at best, hair splitting, but really a distinction without a difference.
Dr. Pipes is just kowtowing to the Establishment in piling on Trump.
Agreed. Common sense.
He’s playing the 2 steps forward/one step back/net gain game. Unfortunately with muslims, that still gets dead people, not solutions.
>> Islam needs to be eradicated
Makes sense. Islam is a war plan.
Yup, the cost of half-measures.
The value of citizenship must be resurrected — for it would solve many problems.
There is no Constitutional right for individuals overseas to come to America. Foreigners in foreign lands do not have Constitutional rights. Nor do Americans when they are travelling in foreign countries, for that matter.
The Constitution starts and ends at America’s borders.
It’s as easy as curing cancer. Just kill the cancer cells and leave the good cells alone.
Is it just me or does this “you can ban someone based on their religion” seem a little weak?
Especially since the regime is not letting in Middle Eastern Christians?
