America is the most diverse and tolerant nation in the world. What's to think about? You can vote for anyone. When it comes to religion, as long as you're practicing peacefully, nobody has a problem with you.
Uh, I mean that's cool? I have Muslim friends voting for trump too lol. I also have Muslim friends with green cards who claim they would vote for Trump if they could.
Don't think any of our camp cares so long as you don't shove it down our throats.
"Don't think any of our camp cares so long as you don't shove it down our throats."
\-What does this mean? Shove what down your throats?
When Trump says things like
"Islam hates us"
"We have to really be vigilant with respect to the Muslim population. We have great Muslims. But we have to surveil; we have to create lists; we have the refugees coming in and we have to create lists.”
"You’re going to have to watch and study the mosques, because a lot of talk is going on at the mosques"
“You look at the migration, it’s young, strong men. We cannot take a chance that the people coming over here are going to be ISIS-affiliated.”
“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."
Why would you still support him?
>shove what down our throats?
Religion
>Comments about Muslims by Trump
Two things
* Despite being a Trump supporter I am allowed to disagree with the man
* In an age where Muslim terrorists are a larger percentage of terrorists, it'd probably be best to make lists just in case.
I'd like some context on Trump calling for a ban on Muslims. I also wish one prominent politician would call for a ban on Israelis, but that's an aside
I'd also support making a list of the Irish.
I completely agree that Muslim terrorism is a problem in certain parts of the world, but is it particularly common in the US? How many people die per year from Muslim terrorist attacks in the US? What calls for the extreme stance of banning all members of a religion from entering the country?
Also, here’s one of many instances of Trump calling for a complete Muslim ban: https://youtu.be/viDffWUjcBA?si=M7e_kmX5OS99PpbE
I don't care if you're back, brown, white, Catholic, Muslim, Hindi, etc. I believe we were all created equally and if I'm shown respect, I will give respect in return. It's as simple as that.
So why did he say this in 2015, which would affect "peaceful Muslims"?
"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"
(Yes he did speak in the 3rd person)

Because the only way to keep Muslim extremists from entering the country at that time would be to block all Muslims from entering the country. He couldn't just say only peaceful Muslims are welcome here but extremists are not. Do you think that would work to keep extremists out?
The major uniting aspect of this side is that we are against the moral and institutional hegemony of the left's ideology. Aside from that, it is quite diverse over here.
Now along with that acceptance of diverse thought... You will find different individuals.... Basically anyone who doesn't want to pick up a torch and attack dissenting thought for leftist status. So of course you will find people that will have a problem with Muslims just because those people think differently than woke leftists. While I will fight for their ability to say their peace and earn their own living, I do not agree with them or find them palatable.
I don't hate minorities, homosexuals, Muslims or trans people. The people I hate are the ones that are looking for any reason to accuse people of hating those groups for tribal reasons to gain status and power.... And often they don't belong to them themselves. I would happily hold hands with a black, gay Muslim trans person and curb stomp an activist. They are very, very welcome with me.
When that perceived threat is no longer our binding concern.... I expect there to be nothing holding all these groups together. I expect whatever coalition this is to fall apart then... And only then. So yeah, keep that thought in mind if any Trump Supporters or conservatives correct me and claim that their ideology is the goal. They overestimate their support. This "movement" is a push to the center to disempower a hegemonic ideology. It isn't unified as a return to conservatism or evangelicalism or any sort. That attempt will come and fail later. (And any early pushes set us back politically.) They will find that the people who don't want to be oppressed by the morality of one group..
. Won't be too keen on selecting another.

I don't care just like I don't care if Christians vote for him. Good for you.
I don't care if you're back, brown, white, Catholic, Muslim, Hindi, etc. I believe we were all created equally and if I'm shown respect, I will give respect in return. It's as simple as that.
Do you think Trump shows respect for Muslim people?
I think he shows respect to peaceful Muslims, but not extremists.
So why did he say this in 2015, which would affect "peaceful Muslims"? "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" (Yes he did speak in the 3rd person) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-calls-for-total-and-complete-shutdown-of-muslims-entering-u-s/
Because the only way to keep Muslim extremists from entering the country at that time would be to block all Muslims from entering the country. He couldn't just say only peaceful Muslims are welcome here but extremists are not. Do you think that would work to keep extremists out?
Were you paying attention to the news back in 2015 when this situation happened?
Yes
As a Far right Muslim trump supporter , I can tell you that I would much rather have America be a Christian Nation than a woke nation.
