According to the opinion polls, somewhere between 40% and 45% of the voters intend to vote for Trump if the POTUS 2016 choice is between him and Hillary. That is a LOT of people. The important thing here is that Hillary has been losing support ever since she launched her campaign, while Trump has seen his support levels going up slowly, but consistently.

In practice they are not similar. Compare Saudi Arabia or Iran with the United States.

Islam and Christianity are very similar. At least they used to be very similar until the 19th century. .....

Population of Mexico was around 1 million in 1600, out of which less than 1% was white. As time progressed, the white population increased (as a result of immigration from Europe and high birth rates), while that of the Indians declined. In 1800, the population was 5 million, and the percentage of whites had increased to 18% to 20%. Currently, it is around 10% out of a total population of 120 million.

First of all, lets remove the generalisations here. The thoughts of individual people do not equate to the beliefs of entire religions and the problem  is You will get some bad apples from either religion, but its not a contest. If you are seeing it as a contest of "which religion is nicer" then you would be severely misguided.

Remember, it is not Christians or buddhism or catholic vs Muslims.
what we need is fight isis . Keep an open mind.

How come everyone who says Donald Trump said to ban Muslims leaves the word "temporary" out? He said a "temporary ban". We cannot even vet US citizens correctly. How will we get people from Syria vetted? We can't. It's TEMPORARY. Words have meanings, even the ones you leave out.

It's like when Trump said some illegals kill, some illegals rape and some are good people. All you ever saw after that was rape and kill. That's why it's not working. People see right through it.

We need a TEMPORARY ban until we can set up a proper system to vet these people. Saying this is racist or hate means you are intellectually bankrupt.

Probably the establishment guys want to make it a Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton battle... but since his ratings have plummeted (as per the latest opinion polls, only around 2% of the GOP primary voters said that they'll vote for him), they have shifted their attention to Rubio (who is polling slightly better, but still in single digits).

Ahaha, Trump trolls saudi prince

Exactly. Trump is very honest, especially considering that a serial liar is on the other side (Hillary Clinton). Media has been attacking him since the day he launched his presidential campaign. Also, he is self-financing his campaign, unlike Billary who has taken grants from the Saudi and Qatari sheikhs to steamroll her campaign.

That's right. In reality he might have been having a epileptic seizure, or some other mystical experience brought on by natural causes, or he made it up? Belief in visions had a huge following in the era after Rome fell and before the renaissance.  

For example, from the 10th. century:  
And again I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, 'Cry out therefore, and write thus!'
-Hildegard of Bingen

Which was the plan all along, ¡Jeb! losing facing harpy clinton

he doesnt care because Hillary isnt out spreading hate on islam. nothing else matters to this guy. probably because this level of lying is more or less a normal thing for politicians nowadays.

I think everyone should be allowed to open-carry shoulder-fired nukes.

Donald Trump collects the best enemies – now including a Saudi billionaire prince who funds Islamist advocacy in American universities.


Reportedly the richest of many Saudi Princes, Alwaleed Bin Talal says Trump should quit the 2016 election as he’s “a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America.”....

^^^^ Anything can happen with the GOP nomination, despite the strong numbers for Trump. There is a huge gap between the GOP establishment elites (such as John McCain and John Boner) and the rank and file republicans. There is a strong chance that the elites can group together and present a single candidate, to prevent Trump from winning the primaries.

The Crusades were a reaction to Muslim invasions and stopped more than 7 centuries ago!
The Inquisition is a Catholic version of Sharia.

So cut out those arguments! Basically you're condemning "Catholic modules" which are built-in in Islam.

A hardline shift from an immigration reformer.


I know this is not my usual position. But this is a war. Therefore I have come to believe there should be no immigration or visa waivers until the U.S. adopts a completely new system to stop radical Islamic terrorists from entering the country. A wartime lockdown. And a big change in my thinking.

ISIS and related Islamic terrorists are already here. More are coming. We must stop them.

Until FBI director James Comey gives us the green light, I say seal the borders.

Here’s what we must do: Completely reform the vetting process for immigrants and foreign visitors. Change the screening process. Come up with a new visa-application review process. Stop this nonsense of marriage-visa fraud. And in the meantime, seal the borders. I agree with Jessica Vaughn, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, who argued many of these points in excellent detail on the National Review website on Friday.

Again, why am I taking this hardline position? In the past, I have been an immigration reformer, not a restrictionist. But we are at war. That changes everything.

Let me emphasize that my support for wartime immigration restrictions is not based on religion. I think Donald Trump made a big mistake here. Instead, I agree with this Rupert Murdoch tweet: “Complete refugee pause to fix vetting makes sense.”

Fortunately, the Republican House voted to tighten restrictions on travel to the U.S. by citizens of 38 nations who presently enter our country without a visa. This covers 20 million visitors a year who are allowed to stay 90 days. And of course this system is abused, big time.

But I say seal the borders. People hoping to relocate to the U.S. from Syria, Iraq, and anywhere in the Middle East, and people coming here from France, England, Sweden, and wherever will be upset, at least for a while. There may be some unfairness to this. But I don’t care. Wars breed unfairness, just as they breed collateral damage.

We may set back tourism. We may anger Saudi princes whose kids are in American schools. But so be it. We need a wartime footing if we are going to protect the American homeland.

Of course, President Obama doesn’t get it. He never will. Already we should have led NATO into a declaration of war against ISIS. Already we should have pushed a resolution of war against ISIS through the UN Security Council. Already we should have convened meetings with our Mideast allies to formally declare war against ISIS. Already the U.S. Congress should have issued a formal declaration of war against ISIS.

The president had his last chance last Sunday night. And he didn’t do it. He is not a wartime commander in chief. In fact, he is not a commander in chief.

As I have written before, if the U.S. wants to destroy ISIS, it can destroy ISIS. We won’t end terrorism around the world. But we can destroy ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Prominent generals are telling us that. Prominent national security strategists are telling us that.

So let’s do it.

If there is to be a true wartime effort to destroy ISIS, our leaders must communicate a sense of urgency and energy. Define the clear goal: the destruction of ISIS. Speak to that goal constantly. Take steps at home and abroad to back up that goal. Lead the country. Rally the country.

Republican and Democratic commanders in chief have done this in the past. We must do it again.

I don’t believe a visa or immigration lockdown here in the U.S. will solve the Islamic terrorist threat. Many other steps must be taken. And I am not suggesting this in the name of religious profiling. Instead, I am hardening my position on immigration because we are at war and I fear we may be losing this war.

My shift in thinking comes from a deep desire to strengthen homeland security. Hopefully an immigration freeze will not be in place for very long. But for now I believe we must do it. (By the way, keeping America safe is a prerequisite for growth.)

And let me add, as I have in the past, if the U.S. has the will, the urgency, and the energy to destroy ISIS, then we will destroy ISIS.

Stop day-dreaming. Russia will NEVER send its ground troops to Syria (perhaps with the exception of brief commando operations). And Russian air strikes are not the only option to destroy the ISIS. The Islamic State will crumble in a matter of weeks, if not days, if the inflow of Jihadis from Turkey is stopped completely.
