Donald Trumps Comments ......

[fuzzyturns]

A couple of things:

1) Islam as a religion is essentially just an extension of Christianism (and therefore also of Judaism). All muslim scholars will attest to the fact that Jesus is one of their holy people and the Bible one of their holy books. They simply insist that Mohammed was the last prophet and therefore their version of monotheism is the correct one. Does that make them more or less extreme than others? No, it doesn't.

2) The muslim world is roughly in the year 1335. Look what we (the christian world) did at the time. No surprises, really.

3) Border blockades have never stopped proper terrorists from going where they wanted to go. In consequence Mr. Trump's proposal is pure polemic.

4) It is a well known fact that the US population is far more religious than any country in Europe, and he's exploiting this in a bad manner.

 

Donald Trump may very well represent the opinion of a large part of the US voters (and that's scary in itself). I have always been of the opinion that whilst a politician in a democracy has to represent the people who voted for him, he also has a duty to set an example of reasoned and civil behaviour (at least once he takes up office), and that is clearly where he is failing utterly.

Nick Ferrari says Donald Trump might be right about London - after a Met Police officer told him they have been told not to wear uniform in certain areas.

 

Is this acceptable in our country!!?? It's absolutely disgusting!!!!!

Trump can be obnoxious, but I think he's quite funny in a sense. Let's be clear: The man is a self-made billionaire, so he can't be a total wazzock.

 

He says what he thinks, at the end of the day, and agree with him or not, sometimes he makes a good point which many politicians are too afraid to talk about, and they just want to brush it under the carpet. That is no way to run a country; if there's an issue with certain sections of society, then let's address it and work together with members of that community. If they're unwilling to take things seriously, then we have to question their role as citizens in our country.

 

What I find most knee-jerk is the response to this whole fiasco. The so-called "liberals" preach their "tolerance," yet disagree with them and you face the most unpleasant intolerance and hostility. I'm afraid you can't have it both ways.

 

To those who have reacted so strongly to Trump's overly stringent proposal, including the 140,000 odd who have signed an E-Petition to block his entry to the UK, what I say to you, is: Is it not better to confront the man in debate, and address his points, rather than just swear at him on twitter, make jokes about him and want him banned.

 

What a gross overreaction. I'm a persistent defender of freedom of speech for all, and I think that those on the left show utter hypocrisy when it comes to this. We saw it with veteran scientist Tim Hunt, being hounded from his job by opinionated, nasty people on twitter, all because he had an opinion.

 

Let's debate, and keep it civil. The so-called "liberals" of today are anything but, they are tyrants.

Some tolerance needs forcing upon them?

I'd like to think Donald trump could hold his nerve and ride this storm out...

 

I just want someone, just one person to stick it to "Political Correct" movement thats gone to far..

 

I'd like to see Trump elected and Merkel booted.... if Alla will's, even I might be tempted to cry out Alla Akbar,,,,

Trump isn't self made, his farther was a multi millionaire and set him up in business.

 

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story mind.

 

A bit like the Nick Ferrari interview with a London copper.

I don't know the precise history of Trump, but regardless, to get where he has got, he can't be a complete fool. He's an accomplished businessman, pretty sure about that.

I think Tyson Fury wrote Trumps manifesto.
