Trump calls for 'total and complete shutdown' of Muslim immigration

Peace on earth, goodwill to all.

When you're Donald Trump, it's always a good moment to pick on minorities and he’s outdone himself once again in a campaign statement released Monday.

Donald J. Trump Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration (New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump More “inspired” leadership from Trump—inspired, of course, by his political gain in targeting people of color, since many of his supporters think Islam should be illegal. Trump supporters on our NC poll coming out tomorrow: only 24% think Islam should be legal in United States, 44% illegal — PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) December 7, 2015 It’s so warm/fuzzy holiday-esque, isn’t it?

Apparently Trump’s original statement wasn’t abhorrent enough, so now…
