Trump: 'Absolutely no choice' but to close mosques
The Hill ^ | 11/18/15 | Bradford Richardson

Posted on 11/18/2015 10:53:07 AM PST by Enlightened1

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."

That can be amended for Islam’s sake.

If a pisslam house of worship is a front for anti-western militant jihadi training, financing like most of the nonprofit muzzie organizations, go after them all.

I agree with you about the practices of Islam. But you have to admit they have a powerful Constitutional argument to not shut down the mosques. It is up to the decent powers that be to make sure that they feel they are benefiting from the first amendment as is their right, but to keep mosques from being terror centers.

It kind of doesn’t matter about the violent raping behavior being full tenets listed in their holy book. What matters is their behavior NOW (terrorism or plotting) because it isn’t anyone’s authority to tell people how to worship. Worshipping Satan is legal.

I think every large city mosque might need a few infiltrations.

I wonder if anyone in France even dared to dream of nuking something in the ME. And I wonder what O would do to stop them.

I wish we could do something serious to stop them now, but I’m not sure of all the chess moves after that. Maybe smarter people than I have plotted it all out and thought it wouldn’t help in the long run. Why do we always have to wait for a Pearl Harbor before we finish them off?

Why not keep them open and spy on them aggressively?

You can bet Mossad is doing just that.....but damnit, we have a Prez who hates Israel.....and Israel knows it.
