Wow talk about straw man arguments what does the Japanese internment have to do with not allowing them to enter the country.
Seriously?
Labeling millions of people based on the actions of a few individuals.
Perfect analogy if you ask me.

Trump really is right. Islam has always desired Global Control. Here in America we are Americans that answer only to American Law. If you live in America you are American. it can be no other way

Do you honestly think the IJN set sail for Pearl Harbor on a whim and hoped the fleet would be there when they eventually arrived? No.
You're right.
All nations have spies. We should assume everyone here is a spy.
Based on their skin color/nationality/religious affiliation

I don't understand people not wanting to fight and destroy ISIS and their ideology I hate war but some need to be fought like against the nazis in WW2.
I think this is a fight we need to fight.
Islam is not a religion, its an Ideology

Part of the greatness of being an American is having the freedom to believe what you want.
Excluding someone because of their faith is the definition of anti-American.
Trump wasn't breaking any laws as they are not Legal Citizens...The US denies millions of people every year, and Islam isn't a religion, its Ideology

The BIGGER issue to me, is not his views on Muslims, but the fact that the man is perfectly willing to violate the constitution, and assume a dictator role, to facilitate his views. And that will affect more than just Muslims.

Exactly!
One of the few times that you and I actually agree on something. Donald Trump is an exponentially greater threat to the American rule of law than ISIS. He's trying to become the leader of our country by proposing shredding our rule of law to... save it?
How is that you and I who are generally on very different sides of most issues can both see this but Trump has so many supporters?

"Islam has always desired Global Control."
What does this even mean? Every religion is trying to grow, that's what religions do. There's a difference between moderate religious belief and what ISIS is attempting to do. ISIS doesn't represent the whole of Islam anymore than Ted Cruz's dominionist ilk represent all of Christianity and for the record, they like ISIS believe that they have a divine mandate to take over the world and impose barbaric religious laws and in many instances, it's very similar in its prescriptions, including STONING PEOPLE TO DEATH for things like being homosexuals.
"Here in America we are Americans that answer only to American Law."
You're trying to prop up his nonsense with a truism. Of course we answer to American law. Donald Trump isn't promoting the rule of law, he's promoting hatred of Muslims and irrational fear. Believe me, I'm an atheist. I have no desire to live under anyone's religious laws. That's why I like you, support our American rule of SECULAR law, something that is under no threat.
That's another example of obvious conflation I should have made mention of in the OP. Trump is conflating the threat of terrorism which is a very real but greatly exaggerated with a nonexistent threat of Americans falling under sharia law. It doesn't even make sense and yet here you are talking about it as though it's an actual thing and has somehow become a more tangible threat because 14 people were murdered. That's completely irrational.
