Would implement system tracking Muslims in United States to curb terrorism: Donald Trump

We’re going to do something very big with loans because you have to get these people going.

While a few of his rivals have been chastised by the president for suggesting that Christian Syrian refugees be given preference over Muslims, Trump has gone further in his rhetoric, advocating new restrictions on civil liberties and enhanced surveillance activities, including inside mosques.

His remarks created a storm on the social media.

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a statement said, “Donald Trump’s openness to special identifications and a database for Muslim-Americans is beyond shameful, embodies the exclusionary culture of today’s Republican Party, and is a unsafe mindset our Greatest Generation fought and died to defeat seven decades ago”.

He added that he didn’t “know who wrote it”, referring to the Yahoo News article, and declined to answer a follow-up question from Murray about whether he would “support something like that”, referring to a Muslim database. You sign up at different places.

But other Trump supporters saw his logic and fear radicalization in the U.S.

Trump has ignited controversy by calling for the closure of mosques in the United States in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday that left 129 people dead.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Politics, the real estate mogul said that “drastic measures” were needed to meet the “radical Islamic terrorism” threat in the United States after cruel terror attacks in the French capital and considered an aggressive take on Muslim community in the country. On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted on a plan that would make it “near impossible for the United States to continue our refugee program”, Sanders said.

Also, the US Congress passed a bill on Thursday requiring strengthening of vetting procedures for Syrian refugees looking into the opportunity to enter the USA, despite Barack Obama’s opposition. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called Trump’s words “outrageous and bigoted”.

Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who has challenged Trump’s lead in the GOP primary, has also made eyebrow-raising statements about Muslims following the Paris attacks. In a separate interview on November 19, Carson had compared Syrian refugees to “rabid dogs”. “It doesn’t mean you hate all dogs, but you’re putting your intellect into motion”.

He never said that-but at this stage, who cares.

“We can talk economics, we can talk everything, but one of the things is we have to give people their spirit back, we have to give people hope”.

“One of the hallmarks of America is that we treat everybody the same”, he said.

For instance, he did not count out possibility of warrantless searches of Muslims across the entire country in future in terms of combat against jihadists in the US.

When asked whether Muslims should be legally required to register for the database, he said, “They have to be – they have to be”.

Trump was pressed on the database by NBC Thursday evening. He responded four times by saying, “You tell me”.
