This thinking is so UNAMERICAN and goes directly against the first Amendment of the US Constititution:


The "Establishment Clause," stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," is generally read to prohibit the Federal government from establishing a national church ("religion") or excessively involving itself in religion, particularly to the benefit of one religion over another.

No one despises ISIS more than Muslims. No one.
I've read the Koran and Hadiths. ISIS is very Islamic. What they did to the Yazidis is exactly what Muhammad did to anyone who didn't convert to his religion. Also notice that no Muslim country ever fought a civil war to end slavery because enslaving non Muslims is allowed in the Koran.

? Read up on the constitution of Medina and what the Prophet (saw) did when he conquered Mecca.

Also notice that the very Yazidi community you quote somehow survived and lived peacefully under Caliphate after Caliphate. Also note that the Ottoman Caliphate was majority Christian at one point and Jews had up a significant minority.

If the goal was to simply murder non-believers the Yazidis would have been removed long ago.

What is your source?

"...Refugees make up a small percentage (about one-in-ten) of the roughly 1 million immigrants granted lawful permanent residency in the U.S. each year. Because the U.S. government does not keep track of the religion of new legal immigrants, it is not possible to say what share of all recent immigrants are Muslim. A 2013 Center report, however, estimated that as of 2012, roughly six-in-ten new legal immigrants were Christian, compared with one-in-ten who were Muslim...."

That will keep out all the Hasidic Jews too. Good? Bacon, and Cheeseburgers (mixing meat and dairy together). I suppose you never had to take a Comparative Religions course in HS? Islam is not the only religion which does not eat pork products.

I think this line just about some it all up.

"The election of President Donald Trump has proven that numerous Christians are more worried about power, influence, and control than the gospel messages of humility, generosity, ministering to others, and love."

...I'm sure this will be very controversial with Muslims and their athiest allies.
I'm a Christian and find the policy abhorrent. Luckily it will most likely also to be found unconstitutional.

Its all over the Quran and the Hadiths. It equates Hindus with criminals for example. Why do you think the Yazidies are bing exterminated?


https://quran.com/search?q=polytheists

Certainly, that is how We deal with Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the disobedient to Allah, etc.).



Only Jews and Christians are even tolerated as long as they are slaves.





However if what a good bunch of Muslims and what the materials they read don't matter then the KKK can be good too. Only extremist Klu Klux Klan are a problem, right?

The Constitution does not apply to non citizens. Why do you think it does? Do you think they have the Constitutional right to vote?
