Has Trump discussed what color triangles the registered Muslims will be forced to wear?

Will the determination of who is a Muslim be based on Mosque registries? Family lineage? Or we'll simply know them when we see them?

Does this apply to all Muslims? Just Middle Eastern Muslims? Middle Eastern and Indonesian?

Does Trump's plan contemplate placing them into camps? Alternatively, will redlining towns and simply forcing them to live in ghettos suffice?

I'm not trying to be a jerk about this -- I'm just trying to figure out whether Trump has thought through these details.

How can the media just grin and pretend this is healthy discourse for the nation? For a democracy?

The back­lash against Mus­lims has also been fueled by a num­ber of politi­cians that have made state­ments that equate Mus­lims with ter­ror­ists and paint Mus­lim refugees as a dan­ger­ous risk to the United States. Among the most egregious:

◦Don­ald Trump sug­gested in an inter­view that harsh mea­sures against Amer­i­can Mus­lims might be nec­es­sary. When asked in the inter­view if these mea­sures might require “reg­is­ter­ing Mus­lims in a data­base or giv­ing them a form of spe­cial iden­ti­fi­ca­tion that noted their reli­gion,” Trump did not rule out such actions. Later, he told another reporter that he would absolutely imple­ment a data­base for reg­is­ter­ing Muslims.

◦Sen­a­tor Ted Cruz is advo­cat­ing for a ban against any Syr­ian Mus­lims enter­ing the U.S. Cruz pro­posed that the coun­try admit only Chris­t­ian refugees, say­ing “There is no mean­ing­ful risk of Chris­tians com­mit­ting acts of terror.”

◦Dur­ing a cam­paign event, Ben Car­son com­pared Syr­ian refugees to rabid dogs. In talk­ing about let­ting in immi­grants from Syria, Car­son said, “If there’s a rabid dog run­ning around your neigh­bor­hood, you’re prob­a­bly not going to assume some­thing good about that dog and you’re prob­a­bly going to put your chil­dren out of the way.”

◦After Mayor David Bow­ers of Roanoke, Vir­ginia, requested that agen­cies stop pro­vid­ing aid to Syr­ian refugees seek­ing relo­ca­tion in his city, he cited the use of intern­ment camps for Japanese-Americans as a jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for his decision.

◦Jeb Bush said that Amer­i­can aid for refugees flee­ing Syria should be geared toward Chris­tians as opposed to Mus­lims. Bush pro­posed that the U.S. should take in a lim­ited num­ber of Chris­t­ian refugees, adding, “We should focus our efforts as it relates to the refugees for the Chris­tians that are being slaughtered.”

"Brave" white Americans always need someone to fear. In my lifetime it's been Commies, hippies, militant blacks, Mexicans, Arabs, Muslims in general. I'm sure I'm leaving out several other fearsome categories. I'm just sick to death of the stupidity.

when I was a kid (I was born in 1946). They were going to nuke us for sure, and we had to do all the drills (as if hiding under your desk was going to help), and I remember one where we had to get home as fast as we could (again, as if it would do any good if a bomb were dropped). I used to have nightmares about the earth itself being blown to smithereens, like a big chunk of it blasted out into space. They did a really good job of terrorizing us poor little post-war kids.

then place them in detention centers, where they were abused. And they were abused.

When T-Rump said what he said, that was the first thing that came to my mind.

Bush/Ashcroft/Chertoff and their Muslim men round up.


detainees’ abuse included slamming them into walls; bending or twisting their arms, hands, wrists and fingers; stepping on their leg restraints; leaving them handcuffed or shackled in their cells; and insulting their religion or making humiliating sexual comments during strip searches.

Probably to follow the Bush administration and round up isolate Muslim men. Then place them in detention reservation centers, where they were abused processed. And they were abused sequestered.

When T-Rump said what he said, that was the first thing that came to my mind.

Bush/Ashcroft/Chertoff and their Muslim men round up retreat.
