Donald Trump Would Consider Shutting Down Mosques In Wake Of Paris Attacks

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-mosques-paris_5649dc69e4b08cda34898552

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump would consider shuttering some mosques in the United States after last week's deadly terror attacks in France.

"I would hate to do it, but it's something you're going to have to strongly consider, because some of the ideas and some of the hatred is coming from these areas," Trump said Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," arguing that such an action would be a reasonable if mosques were indeed radicalizing their members.


Yes, we should, as long as we also do so to the radical Churches and Synagogues.(no, I am not serious)

Where the hell do you think the FBI recruits dupes for their "broke up a terrorist plot" plots??

One example:

An award-winning 2014 HBO documentary about the case, The Newburgh Sting, showed that the attack plans and materials were all supplied by the FBI informant who coaxed the accused into participating by offering incentives including $250,000, described as a clear case of entrapment. The arrest was described as having been expertly stage-managed in the style of a Hollywood production, needlessly deploying multiple armoured vehicles and over a hundred officers from various departments, including bomb squads although there was no bomb. The FBI, it was claimed, was motivated throughout by a desire to maintain public fear of terrorism and to enhance their reputation for effectiveness.

He wondered why, if we knew the location of the ammo depots, training camps, etc., we didn't bomb them before the Paris attack rather than waiting until after the attack. A rare good question, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

statement. I translate merciless meaning indiscriminate or at least less discriminate. Public will supports more collateral damage to civilians than before the attacks. Any fighter engaged in asymmetric warfare knows the value of human shields.

The dumbass right-wing douchebags in the comments support this, unsurprisingly. Funny how they're such staunch defenders of the Constitution only when it supports their positions.
