Irish Parliament Will Hear Arguments on Petition to Ban Trump

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was clear Thursday night on whether anything has caused him to rethink his controversial proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S.to protect the country against possible terrorism.

“I have many great Muslim friends and some of them – I will not say all – have called me and said ‘Donald, thank you very much”. I know it’s insane to think that just because a few radical extremists do something horrifying, the faith of Islam is not to blame.

Former Florida governor Bush, son of a former president and brother of another, repeatedly called on Trump to “reconsider”, warning that the idea makes it “impossible” to build a coalition with other Arab countries necessary to defeat the IS. Do you agree that we should pause Muslim immigration until we get a better handle on our Homeland Security situation, as Mr. Trump has said? But as an American who is part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the world’s largest organized sect of Islam, I can wholeheartedly say that there is nothing in Islam that justifies any acts of terror. Trump said: “We have to stop with political correctness”.

More than 570,000 people have signed a petition demanding a debate in Parliament, easily passing the 100,000 threshold for motions to be considered for discussion in the Commons, but three hours is longer than is usually given to debates triggered by e-petitions. The Kurds are our strongest allies.

You’re seven times more likely to be shot by a right wing extremist in the United States than you are to be shot by a Muslim extremist. “We’re laughed at all over the world”. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas said Americans are feeling frustrated and scared and angry when there is a president who refuses to acknowledge the threat U.S. faces. We can’t do this unilaterally. Now, before a Democrat chimes in, the other side has said some pretty stupid things, too.

Trump’s statements about banning Muslims from entering America followed terrorist attacks on Paris.
