Trump's anti-Muslim stance provokes firestorm on US campaign trail

Washington (dpa) - Donald Trump's slash-and-burn attacks against Mexicans, women, immigrants and military heroes has expanded to Muslims, provoking another round of outrage on Friday over the leading Republican White House hopeful.

The business tycoon, who is seeking the conservative party's presidential nomination, is under fire for failing to rebuff anti-Muslim comments at a campaign rally Thursday.

Trump indicated that he would look into getting rid of Muslims during a question and answer session at the event in Rochester, New Hampshire, according to broadcast footage and The Hill newspaper.

One man stood up and said: "We have a problem in this country, it's called Muslims ... We know our current president is one - you know he's not even an American ... That's my question - when can we get rid of them?"

What’s great about Trump is that he has demonstrated that these ‘firestorms’ are in reality merely ‘tempests in a teacup’. And, consequently, can be ignored.

When McCain was running I didn’t care for him but was willing to back him because he got the nomination. I remember somebody in the audience accused Obama of not being a legal citizen or a Muslim or something along that line and McCain defended Obama, BOOM, I and everyone I knew was done with him after that.

I believe someone in the Establishment ‘planted’ that statement to Trump hoping he would do the same thing McCain did. How many times has Obama called conservatives names?

Barack Obama in outlook and worldview is pro-Muslim and anti-Israel.

You’re a Muslim if your father is a Muslim and you have a Muslim name. Obama’s Muslim name is Hussein.

You’re a Muslim if you say the Shahadah - the Muslim confession of faith. Obama did.

Facts are stubborn things.

Doesn’t create a firestorm with his base. Is he supposed to pander to those who wouldn’t vote for him anyway? In what galaxy is that logical?

islamists are enemies of Liberty.

Now, how many muslims are islamist?

I suspect ALL of them. Just ask Calypso Louie.

islam is born from the patrilineal side. ø’s father was a muslim. That would make ø an infidel if he claims he’s Christian...which would seem from all his actions to date is taqiyya.

“...my muslim faith”, by which he had to be corrected. What true Christian could make such a mistake?

I would have replied:

('Personally, I don`t believe he`s a Muslim, nor a Christian. I believe in his heart he`s a Progressive. And by that I mean, given his past actions he truly worships at the altar of Marx and Engel.')

why would this create a firestorm

Because the media make it one; it suits their purposes.

Why would ANYONE interact with a ‘kook’?? Following my own advise, why am I interacting with you-— ‘I no longer care about our country being overrun by illegal immigrants and bad trade deals and worse treaties..’????? Unless of course you forgot the sarcasm label.

The Left-Wing media all have their undershorts in a twist because a Republican candidate doesn't defend Obama. What else is new?

For one thing, this is a German news source. The Germans have shut off the spigot of the massive influx of Muslims into their country because they don't want them either. Sweden might still want them but the rest of the EU seems to have slammed the door in the face of these people.

For another thing, John McPain may have stuck up for Obama in 2008 but remember he was a big loser. And since then, we have almost 7 year history of Obama's love affair with Muslims that we didn't have when he ran in 2008. If he is a Christian, then why does he treat Christians like lepers and Muslims like his brethren? And he acts unlike any Christian I know.

Lastly, I don't think Trump has necessarily has an obligation to defend Obama's religion and agree with some member of a large audience. He didn't agree with the guy and quickly moved on. This is all about a hit job against Trump by the Left-Wing media, some establishment Republicans and beltway idiots. They found a pimple and they are squeezing and picking at it, trying to get it infected.

So, what’s wrong with getting rid of Muslims?

Food for thought: America was protected in two world wars by two oceans. The Japs and the Heinies just couldn’t get at us without seriously getting their feet wet.

Our muzzie infestation isn’t nearly as bad as western Europe’s where the sand rats have a natural bridge all the way from Mesopotamia through the Balkans. It’s bad in UK, Germany & France & going to get worse (the Central Europeans & Eastern Europeans finally get it).

Here, the muzzies are confronted by a vast unoccupiable land and hordes of armed citizens. My take, anyway, and it all could change quickly.

What’s funny is that the Left is outraged that Obama is called a Muslim.

Like it’s a bad thing. Something to be apologized for :)
