GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump says the United States has "absolutely no choice" but to close down mosques where "some bad things are happening."
"Nobody wants to say this and nobody wants to shut down religious institutions or anything, but you know, you understand it," Trump said on Fox News's "Hannity" on Tuesday. "A lot of people understand it. We're going to have no choice."
Trump said on Monday he would "strongly consider" closing mosques if elected in response to the terrorist attacks in France last Friday that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds more.
Pressed to explain his tougher stance on the issue, the GOP primary front-runner told Fox News's Sean Hannity that the security situation was changing "a lot faster than anybody understands."
"There's absolutely no choice," Trump insisted. "Some really bad things are happening and they're happening fast. Certainly a lot faster than our president understands because he doesn't understand anything."
Trump also highlighted his concerns with accepting Syrian refugees, saying he has "a feeling that a lot of bad things will happen."
"But yet we take everybody," he said. "We don't know where they come from, we don't know what their crime record is. It could be wonderful. It could be a disaster."
The businessman said if he wins the presidency, "they're going out."
"We can't take a chance. You know, if you take thousands of people, and again I hear it's going to be many more than what you're talking about right now. But if you take thousands of people, Sean, all you need is a couple. You know, you don't need 25, you don't need 100," he said. "Look at all the damage done in Paris with just a few people."

I had heard his interview, but didn’t remember any cannoli
Watched the video again.....no cannoli
But now I get the joke.......The Godfather, eh
Once again Trump is right on the money. These are basically terrorist training camps and propaganda machines - as per their governing documents (Koran)
I happened upon Trump’s interview on Hannity last night.
I love to see and hear Trump at least once a day.
Makes me feel some hope for our country’s future.
I loved when he said 3 times he’d “bomb the hell out of them”.
President Donald Trump. Love the sound of that.
Trump.. a MAN who makes SENSE.
Do what Israel does, bulldoze the whole dam thing (and in a new twist, with the muzzies inside)!!
We need to take notes from Angola...a country with zero tolerance for islam.
Sorry Islam is not a cult. It is a repressive form of 7th century government hiding itself behind the cloak of a religion.
Islam does not deserve the protections of the 1st Amendment and should be weeded out as the subversives organization it is. The scourge of world wide Islam must be stopped. Wars against Islam have not been carried out to their full conclusion. Its time we finish it once and for all time.
Not a good idea, since our security agencies are politically corrupt.
I remember talking to an old retired FBI agent once at a fairly large rural church meeting. The topic came up about crime, of course, and he said: “See, a group of people like this, you can automatically assume ten per cent are criminals.” The irony was, of course, these were all professing Christians, Americans (and, I could add, white).
One can automatically assume that a much larger per cent of any group coming from the Middle East will be criminals.
Too late. The US is are already targeting Christians. So in the least, target the muzzies as well.
“Nor does the First Amendment allow you to do so.”
Depends on criminal activity.
Somebody would have to prove in a Federal Court that ALL Mosques, or a majority of Mosques preach incitement to murder.
Or go after them one at a time.
Personally, I believe this is better solved by the independent actions of the citizenry in every city and town.
"No officer, I didn't see anything".
“Until the Mosqueâs start actively policing their own they have to go.”
They can’t end their support because there is no such thing as moderate Islam. The mosques help control who is active and who is inactive in Islam’s subversive activities.
The mosques are the command and control centers for radical Islam in its quest for world domination.
Read the first again...... It prohibits the government from establishing a national religion...That is the very goal of Islam.
Of course they won’t police their own, that is the whole idea. But in politics you always have to provide that option.
Fedgov as crime syndicate is not conservative
you'll love it!
Mr. Trump never said that all mosques should be shut down anyways, just some of them.
No establishment of religion or the prohibition of the free exercise thereof, yeah.
It's time to do the same for Islam here.
