Hillary blasts Trump’s remarks

Republican United States presidential candidates Dr. Ben Carson (left) and Donald Trump talk during a commercial break at the second official Republican presidential candidates debate of the 2016 USA presidential campaign at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, on September 16, 2015.

The situation started when Trump was asked by a Yahoo News reporter whether he would consider creating a in a database and making them carry a special form of identification that noted their religion, and he wouldn’t rule it out. You’re talking about closing mosques. You’re talking about registering people. They called Trump’s proposal “Islamophobic and unconstitutional”. When an NBC reporter asked the presidential hopeful how his plan to sign people up at mosques and then track them would be any different than that of Hitler’s, Trump said, “You tell me”.

“I didn’t suggest a database – a reporter did”, Trump tweeted. “If that’s okay?” Trump said, as thousands of people in the audience cheered. “But even if I did, I mean, I want (a) database for the Syrian refugees that Obama’s going to let in, if they come in”. Bush went out of his way to draw a line between Islam’s “good and peaceful” teachings and the radical jihadists who slaughtered almost 3,000 people – committing “evil in the name of Allah”. “That’s not strength; that’s weakness”, he said.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., said the candidate “does not support databases based on one’s religion”.

On Thursday, the GOP-led House, with the support of 47 Democrats, voted in favor of tighter regulation on allowing refugees into the country.

“You tell me”, Trump responded. “The First Amendment protects religious liberties for every American”, Cruz said. In contrast, voters think that the business kingpin Trump will be more effective in leading the country.

The findings are part of a Bloomberg Politics national poll released Wednesday that also shows the nation divided on whether to send U.S. troops to Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic State, an idea President Barack Obama opposes, and whether the USA government is doing enough to protect the homeland from a comparable attack. “The answer to that is not forcing tyranny on other people”.

Republicans who want to block refugees from the US are finding themselves in conflict with religious groups who say it’s their mission to help them. Marco Rubio of Florida said the idea was “unnecessary” and not something Americans would support. “It’s not about closing down mosques”, he said.

The House passed legislation this week essentially barring Syrian and Iraqi refugees from the United States. And a Texas politician likened refugees to rattlesnakes. The Roanoke mayor has since apologized.

The daylong furor capped a week of one-upmanship among Republican presidential candidates as to who would be toughest about preventing terrorism after the November 13 attacks in Paris.

“We expected a rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric in the presidential election cycle, but we didn’t realize it would get this bad”, he said.

However, Mr Trump’s comments have once again exposed the rift between an insurgent candidate with noisy policy proposals as well as surging poll numbers and his more mainstream opponents.

Mr. Trumps remarks took hours to circulate widely over social media.

“He has not confirmed a database”, radio host Rush Limbaugh said Friday. “He has not confirmed registration of Muslims”. Mr. Trump’s disdain for Mexicans – he would build a 2,000-mile wall on Mexico’s border – is irrational.
