9. I agree but they are just trying to pull our chain.

I have already visited the nearest Mosque and advised them that I will stand with them. When I am in Target I approach folks with traditional Islamic dress from various countries (I can usually pick the country on the first try) and have a friendly conversation and apologize for any ill will that is coming their way.

There is not going to be any Muslim registry. We don't even have an agency that is equipped to do it and the courts wouldn't allow it.

It is a ruse. Get us excited about this, divert our attention and then try and negotiate a "meaningful and reasonable compromise" which will only seem reasonable because it stands next to batshit crazy.

What compromise? Who can guess what these idiots want but I will try a sample:

"After securing the votes necessary to establish a registry for all Muslims in the US the President and Congressional leaders offered a compromise proposal that would tie all US educational dollars to high schools and Universities that would require all institutions to have a Western Civilizations required course that would outline the benefits of the Judaic-Christian tradition and the principles of individual liberty and the Capitalist economic system".

Trump has specifically articulated in "The Art of the Deal" that the opening shot in negotiation is to appear mad and unreasonable so that when the next outrageous demand comes it will be viewed in a more favourable light than if it was the first offer.
