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 hope so but when he pops off on stuff like this it scares me. Hope he doesn't blow his chances for the Presidency. He got this far because he spouts off without a filter and I guess the plus side is you never have to wonder what he's thinking but sometimes I wish he'd go easy......
Better not start down that route.
The Islamofacists are horrible and must be stopped.
BUT and I cannot believe I am the one who posts this question, my huband has told me that once we do this, we all take the risk of losing our freedoms.
What do Freepers think. A loaded question. Again, the jihads have to be stopped here and abroad. I admit I have no muzzie friends but where does Liberty start and end?
So if you find a bunch of explosives and arms hidden away in a Mosque, what do you do?
Ask yourself and your husband if you think Islam is compatible with or does it contradict our Constitution?
If we are not at war with Islam, we should be. Islam is at war with us. Islam is at war with Europe. Islam is at war with all of the civilized world. Islam’s goal is hostile takeover, world conquest, world domination. They’ve already conquered almost all of the Middle East. They’ve conquered large portions of Africa and Asia and have extended deadly tentacles throughout the world. Islam is a violent political/military organization out to conquer the world. Wherever Islam goes, terrorism goes and blood flows.
Mosques are Trojan Horses.
That’s my understanding too Jim, and I agree 100% with what you said as usual.
In WWI, German churches were infiltrated and German-speaking pastors were arrested. There’s already precedent if Obama or the liberals wanted to do it.
Besides, the free exercise of religion does not include plotting mass murder.
We are already doing that.
Are you comfortable with that? Do you feel secure?
At the airport the other day there was a big police presence along with bomb sniffing dogs. Cars were being searched. There were Muslims working all over the airport, even in TSA. I don't like living like that just to keep some Muslims happy.
It’s no longer a religion when mass murder is being plotted. Same thing with outright war.
How did that work out in Boston?
Terrorist organizations should be shutdown.
Uversabound,
Your FR handle and your post prompted me to read your about page.
WOW!!
Really?
The Urantia Book?
A boat load of “New Age” indifference that attempts to bridge the mythical gap between science and religion.
When a mosque is a terrorist camp, arrest everyone associated with it on real charges. Convict and throw away the key.
Islamic terrorism has been the scourge of the earth for 1400 years. It’s their primary tool of expansion through conquest.
Mr trump is correct. Islam is the only “religion” (sic) that actively preaches and teaches and organizes and promotes attacks to murder , terrorize, and subjugate innocent people’s including infidels ( sic) like Christians and Jews and
Hindus It is in no way a real religion. It is a vast and very very deadly and dangerous criminal conspiracy that needs to be removed from USA and eradicated ASAP.
See tag line
Absolutely idiotic. If the goal is to get names and affiliation established for purposes of deportation or incarceration, I would much rather have them all in one place allowing them to be mutually brazen such that they can more easily be infiltrated.
I hope Trump is going to include phony front groups too, starting with CAIR!!
Dear Hillary: Islam IS extremism! Islam IS hate.
