Trump's order on immigration and the wacko liberal response

Millions of muslims live peacefully and thankfully in the US. Islam is not our enemy. When we start discriminating against muslims based on their religious beliefs, then we are showing ourselves to be an enemy of Islam. It is really that simple.

Millions of muslims living peacefully in the US, contributing at every level in our economy, disproves your claim.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

The actual experts with years of experience and education who have been hired to determine those very things may very well disagree with you. As much as conservatives like to talk about adhering to the US Constitution, they sure seem to forget that it has a 3rd Article.As with many of these types of decisions, the EO has been suspended until its constitutionality can be determined, which is the right decision. It becomes unconstitutional when people's visas are not honored because of their religious affiliation. Trump et al. have openly stated that this is a Muslim ban, and that is going to come back to haunt them in court.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

Freedom of religion is a secular law. The courts have been quite clear that you can't discriminate against people based solely on their religious beliefs. Trump et al. have been quite clear from the beginning that this is a ban based on religious beliefs and not on a secular law.

How so?

It does apply to government agents issuing and honoring visas. Since when?

The only thing many of these people are "guilty" of is believing that Muhammad was a prophet of God.These people have already gone through an extensive vetting procedure that lasts 1 to 2 years. They have had background checks, had interviews, and so on.Trump wants to claim that he wants time to install "extreme vetting", but everyone has already seen what that means with respect to his own cabinet. He didn't even vet the people working with him in the White House. We all know what this is. It is a Muslim ban where the sole basis for denying entry is for believing that Muhammad is a prophet of God.

You are painting an entire religion using the actions of a minority. There are millions of muslims that live peacefully in the US, love the US, and are not involved in any criminal behavior. They have more compassion for the fellow Americans in their little finger than you do in your whole body.

Just like the Aryan Nation church and other Christian based white supremacist groups are a sub-sect of Christianity.

The ban includes Muslims who don't believe they should fly airplanes into buildings.

If it was limited to slavery then it would have said that it was limited to slavery. No such text exists in the amendment, so it covers more than slavery.

You contradict yourself just a paragraph later:"The 1866 Congress was not thinking about illegal immigrants AT ALL when that amendment was written."

Which parts bother you the most?
