Trump's anti-Muslim stance provokes firestorm on US campaign trail
DPA International ^ | September 18th, 2015 | Unattributed

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?"

e said “we will look into that” in response to a statement about Jihadist training camps here in the USA.

I would suggest that anyone interested in the advancement of Islam for the past 1400 years google Dr. Bill Warner. He has made a study of the steady advance of Islam and its crusades, of which he has counted. Just in the area and nations that ring the Mediterranean there were by his count 548 compared to 8 Christian crusades in less than the same time period.

Yeah, how a question from a planted democrat turns into something Trump said is a firestorm is hilarious.

But hey, he didn’t say much, but thanks Donald. The media sealed my vote for you!

Almost one third of Americans question BO’s faith.
If Obama can’t convince Americans he’s not a moslem then it certainly isn’t Trump’s job to do so.

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

If you are asking me personally, the question isn't relevant to my earlier post. I merely pointed out how the author of article tried to misquote Donald Trump.

It’s going to create a firestorm in my checking account after all of the donations that I send him after this statement.

This story doesn’t have attribution. We have no idea who wrote this tripe. This could be anybody. George Will could have wrote this for all we know.

Firestorm only to the extent we’re glad he at least recognizes the Muslim problem. Which if they’re not sent home ASAP will destroy both Germany and USA

[The left is up in arms that Trump didn’t refute the guy’s claim that Obama is a Muslim.]

Hasn’t the President called Trump derogatory names?

It was sort of rhetorical.

Personally, I don’t see where mass deportations of hostile unassimilable supremacist Muslims would do harm to any of the `host nations’ now infested with them.

If that sounds heartless, why won’t their “brethren” in the Gulf Arab states take them in?

This latest yahoo puff piece on a woman and her children from Syria in Germany is not getting any sympathy in the comments section. They are complaining that they are being moved away from Berlin with its many mosques and charms of cosmopolitan life to a place outside of Dresden with “skinheads.” The bemoan they probably won’t be able to slaughter a sheep for an upcoming Muslim holiday and they would have not known where they were going if it weren’t for the daughter’s smart phone.

No mention of gratitude or the bombs and beheadings they no longer have to fear. They are shown traveling by train and are very well dressed and the fees they paid are more than Slovakians and Bulgarians can dream of having in their bank accounts.

“When she found out her family had to leave Berlin for eastern Germany, Khawla Kareem was so worried that she considered tearing apart their papers and filing a new asylum application, in hopes of getting relocated to a better place.””When she found out her family had to leave Berlin for eastern Germany, Khawla Kareem was so worried that she considered tearing apart their papers and filing a new asylum application, in hopes of getting relocated to a better place.”

The very first story on tonite’s evening news with Lester Holt is about Trump and this incident. In fact they even said ‘Trump is under fire by both republicans and democrats for what he didn’t say’. If that ain’t orwellian newspeak, I don’t know what is.

This is a sparkling example of PC trying to rise again!
I think the only way for Trump to handle this is to double down. If he tries to back out of it some way the ‘Rats will take it as an apology and begging-off, and be on him like a rooster on a Junebug.

He should double down like he did with illegal aliens. Reel off a string of examples of muslim atrocities, here and around the globe. He should describe in detail what they did, and ask if even ONE “peaceful, America-loving, loyal muslim” ever said one peep against it or expressed disapproval.

The cherry on top would be to look straight into the camera and ask whether anyone has ever heard Obunga express the least disapproval or condemnation of ANY muslim atrocities, including the several mass beheadings of Christians and/or other innocents. EVER?

It’s reported that approximately 30% of American citizens think Obunga is a muslim. There are at least another 30+% who think it in their hearts but are afraid to utter it out loud. It’s just like all the other subjects that are not PC, and therefore, cannot be mentioned.
