Donald Trump urges Muslims 'to turn people in'
bbc.com ^ | 16 May 2016 | BBC

Posted on 05/19/2016 1:15:40 PM PDT by Trumpinator

The presumptive Republican candidate in the US presidential election, Donald Trump, has called on Muslims to work with the police and "turn people in". In an interview with the UK's ITV, Mr Trump said he was not anti-Muslim, but "anti-terror".

He was reacting to remarks by UK Prime Minister David Cameron that he was "stupid, divisive and wrong" in calling for Muslims to be banned from the US. Mr Trump made the call last year, when he was not the party's front-runner.

He insisted that when he called for an immediate temporary ban on Muslims being allowed into America, there had been criticism only from politicians. Millions of people from all over the world had called in, he said, saying "Donald Trump is right".

Asked whether he would re-phrase those comments in the light of the controversy they caused, Mr Trump said: "It got people thinking. Whether it's good for me or bad for me, I don't really care."

opinions, we all got 'em.

I'm not going to reach back 8 years to justify supporting Trump, I'm supporting Trump because of the here & now.

Trump is right. A right-wing British page came across my Facebook feed and boy, not only were they down on muzzies, they were high on The Donald. It was a bit of a shock.

I know what you’re saying - put didn’t it burn you when he would always call it the religion of peace? It infuriated me!

I’m going to view this as a positive article seeing that it’s coming from the BBC. The nationalists of England need to know that at least someone, somewhere, has their backs. While their government ignores the theft of social services, housing and national treasures, the property theft, their children beaten, harassed and raped by a foreign invading army - in a morally misguided attempt at ‘appeasement’ of an arrogant, violent and bloody cult based on entitlement.

It did but you know, and you may not like this, I don't like any of the eastern religions nor do I particularly care for anybody from those rancid parts thereabout.

just my opinion and George W. Bush may have referred to them as the "ROP" but that didn't stop him from bombing the s**t out them so I'm OK with that

"It is up to Muslims to turn in people they suspected of extremism", he [Trump] told ITV.

"They have to work with the police. They're not turning them in. If they're not playing ball, it's not going to work out."

Trump is giving clear notice that the new un-PC Sheriff in town and deputies will be NOT be tolerating the same suicidal infection and plague that the last couple of _residents have. All he has to do is simply enforce the US Constitution and engage in common sense.

Same ballgame plan at the border and within illegal Sanctuary Cities. If the Democrats and Republican Establishment and their media surrogates are threatened by any of Trump's suggestions, let them go on record.

George W. Bush - why feed into the lies and histrionics by referring to him as a moron?

Maybe he is not a moron -- just a full-blown traitor to American citizens and the rest of human civilization.

All those years I had to suffer listening to that moron W. Bush call Muslim a religion of peace - it grated - and it did a lot of damage to our fight against Islamists by not identifying the nature of the enemy.


Me, too!!!! What a dang lie, over and over again.

Well, with Bush, he thought if he didn’t say that, we would go out and murder muzzies. That was also infuriating. And, of course, he said it to please his Saudi buddies. Yes, I do agree Bush did some very good things and he was a gentleman unlike Clinton.

You are right. Bush knew he was lying about “peaceful” Islam.

I’ve called him much worse than a moron ... like I’m sure those people missing flights because of the TSA are doing now.

I’ll never forgive him for adding that misery and infringement on the citizenry.

“Like,every police spokesman who cant figure out black hate crimes againt white victims does.

Or when a nut shouts alla kaboom snackbar and kills a bunch of people they have no idea if the motive was religious...

Politicians and leaders who blatantly lie like this...”

this is the single greatest reason that the elites are so hated. They mock our intelligence by obviously lying, and then demand that we pretend to believe it !

you're entitled to your opinions, mine is that he was a great president

He and Tokyo Rove gave us Obama and a democrat House and Senate, so yes he was a great president if you are a democrat or Marxist/socialist.

Good, but they are taught from birth that non-muzzies are to be hated and killed. They are not going to turn in their own kind.

I think Trump knows that. I think he's also aware that all Muslims believe the same things. I think he wants everyone to be aware of that when they look at any Muslim.
