FOR 1 KEY GROUP TRUMP'S
MUSLIM BAN IS YUUGE, Idea
has massive Republican support as primary votes are cast in state after state,
4/29/16
When
GOP front-runner Donald Trump first announced his temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims
entering America, his idea was condemned by virtually the entire Republican
Party.
Jeb Bush responded, “Seriously?” Speaker of the House Paul Ryan addressed
the nation to condemn it. Even Ted
Cruz wouldn’t
support it.
But there’s one massive group of people that overwhelmingly
backs Trump’s proposal for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration: Republican
primary voters.
A poll
taken soon after Trump announced his plan in
December showed almost two-thirds of Republican voters supported the GOP
front-runner’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. And as the votes are
cast in state after state, support for Trump’s proposal is actually higher in
some areas.
In the Northeastern
primaries held earlier this week, exit
polls showed almost 70 percent of voters in New York and Pennsylvania supported
Trump’s proposed ban. This narrowly exceeds the support expressed for the
policy in supposedly more conservative Southern states.
G.M. Davis, who earned his doctorate
in political science from Stanford University and is author of “House
of War: Islam’s Jihad against the World,” said
the widespread popular support for Trump’s policy shouldn’t be a shock to Republican
leaders.
“It should not be surprising that Donald Trump’s proposal
for a temporary halt to Muslim immigration has attracted such overwhelming
support among Republican voters,” Davis told WND. “It is an eminently
reasonable and moderate proposal, which one hopes will set the tone for more
sweeping proposals as the campaign progresses.”
Davis continued, “It demonstrates that Mr. Trump understands
the danger posed by Muslim immigration as well as the slanted politics of the
issue, which routinely cast such proposals as his own as ‘extreme,’ ‘racist,’
etc. and which requires special handling from figures such as himself.”
Davis argued Republican leaders are committed to an agenda
of globalization, which leads them to put political correctness ahead of national
security.
“On the issue of Muslim immigration, perhaps more than any
other, ordinary voters and the establishment of both parties are divided,”
Davis said. “Really, the establishment is happy to give voters whatever they
like as long as the general program of globalization continues to move forward.
That program entails the continued demolition of national borders, the mixing
of national, religious and ethnic populations, and the general dissolution of
local and regional distinctions of all sorts around which ordinary people can
rally to defend their traditional freedoms.
“Ongoing immigration, especially Muslim immigration, is
central to the general plan of eroding national integrity and identity, which
is exactly why the establishment loves it and ordinary voters hate it.”
In fact, support for a temporary ban on Muslim entry far
exceeds support for Trump himself.
Large majorities support the policy even in states that
voted against Trump. In Texas, which backed his Republican rival, Ted Cruz, 67
percent of GOP voters supported Trump’s policy proposal. In Wisconsin, where
Trump was savaged by conservative talk radio and suffered a stinging defeat at
Cruz’s hands, 69 percent agreed with Trump on banning Muslim entry into the
country. Sixty-five percent of Republican primary voters in Ohio also supported
Trump’s idea, even though the state went to Gov. John Kasich.
Pamela Geller, an activist who
speaks out against extremist Islam and the author of “Stop
the Islamization of America,” is
one of those voters who supports Trump’s policy while not supporting Trump
himself.
Geller, who has endorsed Cruz,
called Trump “questionable on the free speech issue” after Trump criticized
her for hosting a contest featuring images of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. However, she called Trump’s idea “a common-sense
solution.”

“There is no way to vet for jihadis or distinguish them from
peaceful Muslims,” Geller told WND. “Trump’s idea is so popular because people
see the problem of jihad and see how our leaders are not dealing with it
adequately. No one who had denounced Trump for suggesting this has come up with
an alternate plan.”
Davis also said the whole issue of Muslim immigration and
entry into the United States is bigger than Trump himself.
“Even a mere political opportunist ought to be able to see
the vote-winning potential on the issue,” claimed Davis. “Westerners, Europeans
and Americans are increasingly waking up to the nightmare of having their lands
invaded by a hostile ideology that recognizes nothing of their own as sacred:
not Christianity, not women’s rights, not freedom of speech, not responsible,
secular government. Regardless of how the 2016 election turns out, the issue of
Muslim immigration will persist, either as a focus of policy in a Trump (or
possibly Cruz) administration or as an ever-growing elephant in the room of a
Clinton administration.”
The issue is likely to increase in
importance as investigations continue into the Dec. 2, 2015, terrorist attacks
in San Bernadino, California. On Thursday, the brother of Syed Rizwan Farook,
one of the San Bernadino attackers, was arrested
and charged with marriage fraud, conspiracy and lying under oath. Two other individuals related to Farook were also
arrested.
Philip Haney, a former Customs and
Border Protection Officer who won numerous awards and commendations during his
long career for analyzing intelligence and identifying terrorists, argued said in December the San Bernadino attacks could have been
prevented if the federal government hadn’t shut down his investigation for fear
of profiling Muslims. He chronicles his experiences in the new book “See
Something, Say Nothing.”
Haney told WND there is a lack of political will to carry
out the laws needed to protect the American people.
“I support enforcement of our constitutionally mandated
immigration laws, so that we can more effectively protect our country from
threats both foreign and domestic,” he said. “The flaws in our current vetting
system are well documented. They are fixable, but only if there is concerted
effort.”
However, Haney expressed some doubts about Trump’s plan,
arguing it was too vague. “He needs to clearly define ‘temporary’ and define
exactly what he hopes to accomplish during the halt,” he said.
Regardless, Haney argues both Republicans and Democrats need
to start taking the threat of terrorism seriously because the American people
won’t settle for anything less.
“This is not just a partisan issue but a national security
issue,” the former intelligence analyst warned. “The primary responsibility of
our elected officials, regardless of their party affiliation, is to do their
utmost to protect American citizens from those who seek to enter our country in
order to do us harm.”
Haney concluded, “For almost eight years, the Obama
administration has supposedly been advising the American people if they ‘see
something,’ they need to ‘say something.’ Well, what the American people are
seeing today is very disturbing, and the support for Trump’s idea shows they
are saying something, too.”

Americans don’t want a Muslim invasion. We have witnessed the damage this
multicultural suicide has caused in Europe and want none of it. We have enough “enemies within”.
