Thread: Trump as a urinal

Trump kinda reminds me of Holbrook......weird, right?

Got to wonder how many everyday Americans agree with his stand on not letting any more Muslims into the USA??......I guess most won't openly admit that they agree with the policy but I also guess there are many who secretly agree with it....

Can't find any good studies that address your question precisely. However, you can find out how Americans feel about various religious groups, including Muslims here How Americans Feel About Religious Groups | Pew Research Center

It should give you some framework for working out an estimate of the number you are interested in.

He did not say he wasn't going to let any more Muslims into the U.S. What he said was we shouldn't let any more in until we have procedures in place so that they can be properly vetted first.

Rather odd don't you think that the "refugee's" that have had to flee their homeland and are living in the refugee camps are 99% Christian, but Obama only wants to let in 3% of them and 97% Muslims? If we are accepting refugee's, then they should be those Christian refuge's, and they still need to be properly vetted.

Wait...

Are you saying you're supporting Donald Trump?

Say it isn't so.

In seriousness , I don't really care much on inner American politics. Though I do believe that Trump is one of the worst choice for US pesident.That's just a disaster waiting to happen.

Care to cite where the 99% Syrian refugees are Christian coming from?I can't find anything supporting this.It may turned out to be a myth.

Where did I say that I was supporting Trump? All I did was point out what is claimed he said isn't what he said. But I do agree with him that we need to build the fence at our southern border, and we need to stop immigration until we can properly vette those we are letting into the country.

As for the 99% number, have to get back to you when I have time to get the figures.

In regard to my comment about the percentage of refugee's being Christian, I remembered reading it in an article in CBN World News about the flood of refugee's from Iraq into Syria and Jordan. What they said was that 99% of all the "new" refugee's flooding into the refugee camps were Christians fleeing ISIS in Iraq and Syria. There were so many coming in, that they had to set up another camp that currently houses 70,000 Christian refugees in Ankawa. My error in not qualifying my statement, but was rushed for time when I posted.

If you are going to take in refugee's it makes no difference what religion they are. But if you are going to bring refugee's into the US, or in any country, make it more equitable is all I am saying. In fact Syrian and Iraqi Christians are being denied entry into any Western Country, let alone the U.S. This is about the refugee's not religion, right?

In fact, the refugee's themselves have said they prefer their homeland be taken back from ISIS so they could return there instead of being shipped all over the world. Interesting isn't it that all the rich Arab states that have the capacity to house all the refugee's, and have the facilities to house them are not accepting any of them, and they are their neighbors. It speaks volumes of what they think of the refugee's doesn't it.

There is far more going on here than people are aware of, and it is time people start waking up to see what really is happening.

I am still laughing at the mere fact that I pointed out an inconsistency in what was reported that Trump said wasn't what Trump said, and all of a sudden I am a Trump supporter. I would have pointed out any discrepancy no matter who the candidate was if they were misquoted. Some people think they are psychic about who I support but the reality is they really suck at it.

The fact about the lack of Christian refugees coming into have more to do with most of them not registering with refugee aid agencies like the UNHCR (one figure stated that only 16% of registered Syrian refugees stated Christianity as their religion) and them sorting out refugee aid on "most needed/urgent basis". There're also reports of them prefeering to move in with Christian communities (such as in Lebanon, which received the highest amount of Christian refugees) than staying in camps/within the system.In terms of total percentage , Muslims (Sunnis ,Shiites etc) still make the bulk of the refugee percentage.

And another thing, claiming that the "richer Arab nations" do not accept refugees is false, all of Syria's neighbors (from Jordan to Iran) who aren't already embroiled in conflict themselves accepted refugees.Saudi Arabia itself claims to have taken in several millions refugees.

I'm guessing this is why politics is outlawed here at RS but I think that this is an outrageous stance, Lynn.
What does it matter which fairytale an immigrant believes in? (Apologies to the religious)

People are people.

No matter which religious group they belong to they're both immigrants.

On the face of it, nothing, but I don't see a bunch of Christian nuts running around trying to blow people up!

Oddly, I remember first reading about Osama Bin Laden in a Playboy article back in the 80's. The article was in regards to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
(Note that web achieves don't go back that far.)
But, needless to say, he wasn't being referred to as a terrorist back then.

Especially Trump.
