Nope. Not every member of that group is threatening to bomb you. You are holding the entire religion responsible for the actions of a minority.
Not to mention that there is no way to implement such a policy. But, I suppose that Trump has a "great, really beautiful" Muslim detector. He probably bought it in Tan-zain-i-ya.

I say this because I have friends and acquaintances who do tell me they will support Trump even though they are not willing to publicize it. There is still a bit of a stigma associated with supporting Trump.
BTW, they are not racists or bigots or uneducated. Just very normal people who have lost faith in the system and conventional politicians. None of them think that Trump is ideal but they believe that going with one of the establishment politicians will merely mean more of the same - whether it is Hillary or anyone else in the Republican party.
Some like Bernie but think he is too far out there in terms of his socialistic views.
So they'll vote for a racist, xenophobic, misogynist but you think they're entirely unprejudiced?

He said he's put a moratorium on it until we can do better background checks. I fully support this- look at what's been happening in Europe.
I voted for Obama twice and I'll vote for Trump if he's the nominee. If it were between Cruz and Hillary, I'd either sit out this race or hold my nose and vote for Hillary.

The media must think most of voters have a IQ of 90 or lower that they can trick them to believe something that Trump never said. This is what I am hearing from the media - "Donald Trump wants to ban all 1.6 billion Muslims based on their religion". Give me a break. I am voting for Trump partly because of the biased media coverage against him.
Because a "moratorium" is sooo different.![]()
Yes, a moratorium while the screening process is reviewed and strengthened to prevent ir at the least minimize security risks from entering the country is not racist or bigoted. It is commonsense.
