Sound Off: Donald Trump's Proposed US Muslim Ban
I usually like to just to report on the facts, letting the readers interpret my posts as they wish, but in lieu of the recent Trump news I couldn't help but voice my opinion.
Here Are the Facts. In his campaign statement, Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".
His campaign manager said that would apply to "everybody" - would-be immigrants and tourists. But Mr Trump told Fox News it would "not apply to people living in the country", adding that Muslims serving in the US military would "come home".
What I Think. Donald Trump has made a valid point in wanting to monitor immigration in light of the recent terrorist attacks in both America and around the world, but him wanting to single out Muslims and completely ban them from entering the US is absurd. Banning a group of people from entering the states is not only radical but also backward thinking.
Trump's call for a "Muslim ban" is just a precursor to what he eventually plans to do if given the job as President of the United States. First it starts with the banning of Muslim immigrants, then eventually he is going to call for the eradication of American-born Muslims and all others currently residing in the US. only becoming (yup you guessed it) the modern day Hitler. This move will only spawn the eradication of other groups of people including Latinos , whom which Trump has expressed great disdain for, calling them "rapists" and "criminals". He also said Mexicans and other immigrants were "killers".
Trump is also the same one who previously called for surveillance against mosques and said he was open to establishing a database for all Muslims living in the U.S., again mimicking the practices of Hitler, who called for the eradication of all Jewish people, beginning with their imposed segregation from the rest of German society.
Trump Sympathizers. In my opinion the only people crazy enough to support Trump are those who share his same set of bias ideas and beliefs. Trump acts as a voice for those Americans among us who posses that same hatred and bigotry that he has and who are to afraid or "small" to do anything. He is instilling a sense of white hope and pride in his following , only igniting their already present racist beliefs.

I just pray that American voters aren't actually crazy enough to let a maniac into the White House. I pray for the sake of all of us and our freedom.
