How will this make the world a better place? You need to be more specific in your argument, you need supporting evidence, a direct cause and effect to have a valid argument. Will it make the world a better place for the Muslim people who are being targeted for their religion? It would be discrimination against people of a certain religion, which is illegal and makes the world a worse place.

It should be required to have a registry for Muslims, but not just Muslims it should be required for all United State citizens. If they refuse because they aren't citizens then they should be obligated to have a certain time period that they can become a citizen. If they haven't been accepted or fail the citizenship test they should be deported so we as citizens can secure the United States.

it can prevent further attacks by looking the history of commitment to Islam faith

It does more good than bad, no one is being hurt from just being on a list. More harm could come from having no list. Having a list would just "ensure" that that person is muslim, and that later they couldnt just lie to get out of some situation

Quran (3:56) "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

This is a quotation from the Quran, the Muslim holy book. People are saying that not all Muslims are bad which isn't wrong, but it's their belief system that brings them to the attack. If there is an attack and we do not have the information to access reasoning for it. Then we can't assure the American people that this came from the outside and we can keep them out until the problem is solved.

not all are bad and it wouldn't be fair to single others out because of the people from their community.

Side: No, we do not need a registry

if "they aren't bad", they aren't practicing Islam. Islam commands them to pretend to be our friends, lie to us, grow in number, and then destroy us and bring in Sharia Law. That's as fundamental to Islam as the Sermon on the Mount is to Christianity.

but not all of them are from a Muslim community. over 50% of terrorist attacks in the U.S. have been from non-muslims.

Which is a false dichotomy because by far, most Americans are not Muslims. In Europe, where Islam is more prevalent person for person, the numbers swing drastically. Percentage-wise person for person, Islam is beyond the pale when it comes to terrorism, and in their own countries terrorism stats put the West to shame. There has been more Islamic terrorism is Islamic countries in the last year, than non Islamic terrorism in the West in my lifetime combined. In 2015 there were 452 reported suicide bombings worldwide. Guess how many were Islamic....

Because most Americans are not Muslims. The false equivalency is a liberal lie. If one group commits 1000% more terrorist acts per person, that's cause for concern. And all terrrorist acts, and there are many, in Muslim countries, are by Muslims. There is a reason that the Middle East has been at war and in a state of violence for 1,400 years. Because they are doing what Prophet Muhammad commanded them to do. It's why ISIS can recruit 5,000 soldiers in one week.

You might, but be warned : any type of register represents the mark of the beast (in some fairytale).

Islam represents the mark of the beast in said "fairytale". Of course you believe the Nothing Monster manifested everything from its nothingness, which isn't fairytale-like at all....

Yes, we need a registry on people from a group commanded to conquer us, kill us, and take our women as sex slaves and rape them, and use taqiyya to deceive us in the Quran.

just because you are Muslim does not guaranty that you are a bad person, A religion does not make you a bad person, a bad person comes from how you are raised and who you are. When we take a look in the past we see what happen to the Jews just because they were Jews not because of who they were.

Just because Nazis were Nazis, that didn't mean all Nazis were bad people. Nevertheless, Nazis burned people alive and killed millions. So we should have never fought in WWII, and just tolerated them making us all Nazis, and why? Because some Nazis might "be good people".

Well, Muhammad wasn't a good person. He murdered thousands, beheaded thousands, took a child bride, and commanded his soldiers to rape non-Muslim women, and that's their infallable leader.

If that being said, ALL races outside of America should need registry for our safety. Not just one racial group.

Side: No, we do not need a registry
1 point

Islam isn't a race, it's a religion. And what's wrong with registering people from a group that is more dangerous than all other groups combined? Does common sense ever play part with Liberals? It's okay to admit that there are groups that hate us, that some cultures suck, and that America is better. Why? Because it's the truth, and it's okay to tell the truth, rather than come up with some mindless, liberal lie that liberal professors brainwashed you with.

This wouldn't be keeping our country safe, it would only show how racist we as a people are. Saying that all Muslims could be terrorists is like saying all Christians could attend the Westboro baptist church. We need to chill out.

1)Islam isn't a race.

2)Opposing groups commanded to slaughter us in the Quran isn't racism. It's self defense against an open decleration of war.

No, too open to ridicule by the sanctimonious bleeding heart brigade.

The better way is to further develop and enhance the existing profiling of the filth by the various security agencies and permit them to employ whatever pre-emptive measures they consider necessary to thwart any planned Muslim atrocities.

How the progressive 'do-gooders' would delight in occupying the moral high ground whilst bellowing from the roof tops about how such a repressive measure is racist and contravenes the constitution.

Of course the smug liberals forget that the protection of The citizens of the United States is an important component of the constitution.

I don't believe that we need a registry. Knowing the constitution and our natural American rights these immigrants are escaping just like our ancestors did from their countries. Coming to the United States is an incredibly process legal or not. Many people are simply seeking refuge from their own war torn countries.

Sure it is. If you are commanded to conquer us, kill us, take our women as sex slaves, and take our daughters as child brides, per Muhammad's infallable commands in the Quran, we'll register you for openly admitting per your religion to being our open enemy, and it will be your own Islamic fault. We didn't make these people join a death cult, nor do we have to appease them in a Christian majority nation. If we (meaning Atheists or Christians) go to Iran, we can expect no tolerance and to be tortured and killed.

Islam is simply Nazism with a god. We owe it nothing and should eradicate it from the face of the Earth.
