Trump Calls for 'Complete Shutdown' of Muslims Entering the U.S.
Trump Calls for 'Complete Shutdown' of Muslims Entering the U.S.
by Andrew Rafferty
NBC News
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Monday called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," the most dramatic response yet to the string of terrorist attacks that have Americans increasingly on edge.
Trump released a statement citing polling data he says shows "there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population."
"Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life," Trump said.
Trump's announcement comes the day after President Barack Obama addressed the nation, calling on Americans "to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country."
A number of Republican presidential hopefuls, including Trump, have called on Obama to stop accepting Syrian refugees into the U.S. after last month's deadly attacks in Paris. Trump, however, is the first to suggest ending Muslim immigration as a whole following the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, that killed 14 people.
None of Trump's GOP rivals has yet to back his call, with many speaking out forcefully against it.
"Donald Trump always plays on everyone's worst instincts and fears and saying we're not going to let a single Muslim into this county is a dangerous over reaction," Carly Fiorina told NBC News after a campaign stop in Iowa.
"This is the kind of thing that people say when they have no experience and don't know what they're talking about," Chris Christie said during a radio interview.
"That's a ridiculous position," he added.
Lindsey Graham tweeted that "Every candidate for president needs to do the right thing & condemn" Trump's comments.
Ted Cruz, who at times during the race has aligned himself with Trump, said "that is not my policy."
A spokesperson for Ben Carson said, "Everyone visiting our country should register and be monitored during their stay as is done in many countries. We do not and would not advocate being selective on one's religion."
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley also took to twitter to respond to the extraordinary proposal:
"It's entirely inconsistent with the kinds of values that were central to the founding of this country," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on MSNBC's "MTP Daily."

Donald J. Trump Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration
(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.
Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump

Yes I agree with Trump on shutting down Muslims entering America. It should not have taken Trump to do this. OUR Congress should have stopped it along time ago as they should have stopped Obama. Politicians.....what a joke.

Yes I agree with Donald J Trump, he is not doing this to be mean or discriminating against Muslims. He is doing this to protect the American People, and that is what a leader who cares about their own citizens is supposed to do.

I was registered as a Democrat until recently but reregistered because the party's stance on immigration didn't jive with what I experienced teaching English to adult immigrants for years. I've traveled to the Middle East where my daughter has worked since 2002, have had a couple of Muslim students over the years, and am educated and open-minded (less so these days). And I agree with Trump 100%.
It sounds really awful but there are too many potential holes in the screening process for visitors, immigrants, and U.S. citizens returning from Muslim nations- they did the most cursory examination of me and my belongings during my journey home in Jordan, Egypt, London, Texas, and L.A. I hate to say it but I'd have been more comfortable with a more thorough pat-down and screening. At least nasty things wouldn't get through. Until there's a handle on incoming or returning Muslims and everyone else, a temporary halt to migration, even visitors espousing Islam, unfortunately might be the way to go. As my formerly liberal daughter noted during a pat-down in Cairo, "I don't want to die." It took being embedded as a journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan for the entire campaign for her to get to that point. Trump's delivery is blunt but he's right, in my opinion. It's not Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, etc. blowing up planes and shooting and beheading people, it's young male and female Muslims. "Until we figure out what the hell's going on..." is what he said and I agree.
