Should the U.S. bar Muslims to stop ISIS?

“Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on”. This was proposed by presidential candidate, Donald Trump.. So the question is, is he right? Will a bar of Muslims from the U.S. help destroy ISIS? What do you all think?

We have to consider all options. It's America's safety first, every thing else, a distant second.

You'll notice we aren't all about to die, you know. Terrorism has done very little damage to this country, especially compared to every-day issues such as vehicle related deaths, violent crime and illness.

Hmm....we have a massive obesity epidemic that is killing hundreds of thousands. Should we outlaw high-fat foods?

"It's America's safety first, everything else, a distant second"?

Or is it just those brown people we can suspend the Constitution for?

That's fine until you happen to be the one who has their legs blown off or sees the remains of one or more of your loved ones splattered all over the street in a bloody and mangled mess as a result of imported Muslim terrorist activity. The degree of liberalism afforded to any problem is always in direct proportion to the distance from the said problem. There is an argument that people have the right to decide to eat, smoke or drink themselves to death, but no one has the right to slaughter innocent men woman woman and children in the pursuance of a political/religious ideology. You ask, should we outlaw high-fat foods? Of course we should, as well as placing a ban on the sale of foods with high sugar and salt content, as is happening now in the U.K. Anyone who fosters the influx of Muslims is complicit in the terrorists crimes which they will, without a doubt, commit. You will be reading about the next Muslim atrocity soon and can feel smug about how liberal the American Government is in permitting such filth to have access to slaughtering it's citizens, providing it's not you or anyone close to you.

So, you wait for a smolder to become a raging fire before acting???? Does 911 ring a bell??????

Your analogies are ridiculous, period.

Going back to the well again, I see. Race has nothing to do with it other than what you're trying to make out of it. Race cards don't work, nor will the sexist/chauvinist cards you're gonna play on Broom Hilda's behalf.

Of course he's right. All Muslim immigrants will contain X% of terrorists and another % which will be radicalized to become terrorists. So a simple mathematical calculation will tell us that the greater the number of Muslims in the country the greater the X% will be. Trump is a hard nosed businessman who ''tells it as it is'' and has the political courage and moral fibre to stand up and express his view. The $ billions spent by the various homeland security agencies on monitoring the activities of Muslims is a wasteful drain on the defense budget. Why in hell would any sane person advocate the introduction of more terrorists and potential terrorists unnecessarily? Would you inject yourself and your family with an aggressive strain of cancer? Immigrants= Muslims, Muslims= terrorists, terrorists= death and destruction. Keep the filth out and return as many of the existing filth back to their original countries, regardless of how many generations they've been in the U.S. When they are repatriated to their beloved homelands they can worship Allah until the camels come home and blow each other to smithereens as a leisure activity which seems very popular with the filth.

So you are implying that all Muslims are, or will eventually become, terrorists?

Read my answer fool. I said Muslim immigrants will contain X% of terrorists and another % which will be radicalized and become terrorists. The greater the number of Muslims the greater the X% will be. If X turns out to be 1% then 1% of 100 is 1. So, 1% of 200 is 2, 1% of 2000,000 is 20,000 and so on. How in heavens name did you interpret that this means all Muslims are terrorists, you benighted shit head. Who permits you morons to contaminate this site? I'm not implying anything, I'm stating the fact that without Muslims in our midst, the Muslim threat doesn't exist, so instead of infesting the country with even more vermin, get rid of the existing infestation and stop the spread of the Muslim disease by denying them access.

Letting the Muslims in is very precarious and it would pose danger to the entire country.

The probability of pretense amongst the citizens will be high and the same, along with ISIS's new

passport printing machine. The ISIS schools in Syria teaches children as young as three to kill and there are many single women who are involved with ISIS.

US should also reinforce its military forces in fighting against ISIS. Syria is the true home for the refugees.

We have to enforce our military fighting to conquer the true nature and power of the ISIS, together we stand with the Syrians!

Canada is currently focusing on admitting more refugees which also poses danger towards the US, as Obama declared.

Although many citizens oppose the recruitment of refugees, Canada has doubled its original intention of 25,000 refugees to 50,000. This will double the danger and threat to us Canadians.

Please sign my newly created petition regarding to this matter if you agree: "In Canada, We Stand with the Syrians"!

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Yes, agreed. It would be obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that a further influx of Muslims would increase the threat of terrorism.

Side: Yes

Your question is "Will banning Muslims help defeat IS ".

Of course not. It has only become a topic of consideration because Obama has failed in Syria. If we had created a safe zone in the region, the refugees would be there not here and all over Europe.

I don't think we should be barring a religious group, but barring refugees from a country known to be infested with ISIS would be prudent.

Trump's next idea of killing the families of known terrorists is complete crap though.

Side: No

When a group such as IS states in internal publications that they want us to fear Muslims and react in such a way that will further alienate the global Muslim community in order to make them desperate and radicalize them into supporting IS, it seems to me that we should think about not doing it.

I still find it weird that after the cluster fuck that was our response to 9/11 (remember, Al-Qaeda had said in internal publications that they wanted us to invade because they knew they could draw out the war and put a massive drain on our economy), we still need to be told to stop and think before reacting.

Islam is already the religion of the perpetually offended, so who cares if they are "alienated"? We are Infidel in their eyes and, therefore, must be converted or killed. Remember: the US is already the great Satan, regardless, so all options should be considered to secure our borders and our people. Who cares what they think.

Intelligent people like to prevent issues.

Stupid people like to ignore issues.

Don't know what to tell ya beyond that, since you have demonstrated you don't really want to think this through.

I completely agree. That is why I believe Donald Trump's plan is completely idiotic. ISIS is recruiting more members and if the US alienates Muslims, then ISIS will only gain more supporters. They need to find a better solution to this problem. One that does not discriminate against Muslims (most of who do not approve of ISIS).

Muslims are only 1% of u.s. population. The kkk are the ones behind the Muslim hating because they and their victims are the 99% doing the crimes causing USA to have the largest prison population on Earth. Attacking Muslims is just a distraction so nobody notices who really are doing the crimes and packing the prisons.
