So the most bigot republicans are heading towards the most extreme steps against muslims that any human mind can think of, thanks to the crazy show run by media these days while stereotyping and islamophobia has reached a new peak.

Now Mr. Trump has suggested all muslims to be barred from entering US. I’m wondering wut next? Concentration camps for muslims living in US?

He is an a$$ who is heating up the game, setting things on fire to keep media attention to himself, giving statements which some bubbas like but it will backfire on him (his back).

I think its other way around. Trump himself is very inspired of PCG’s posts. He is actually trying to help her. See no more immigrant wives means a guranteed hatching of all local chicks. Everyone lives happy in the end :aisha:

Re: Donald Trump calling for 'complete shutdown' on Muslims entering U.S.

^ LOL.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to put a ban on immigrant wives for men who grew up here.

Like really.

But no, I actually thought what would be reasonable is to ban niqaabi's and those who insist on not wearing American clothes. They should have interviews just like they do job interviews. If you don't fit our culture, then you're not welcome. Plenty of westernized muslims who want to live here, want to live a more Americanized life than burqas/beards/abayas and so forth, and we shouldn't ban them. But I think if you're a niqaabi, there needs to be a pure ban on immigration to the US for those women. They simply do not fit the culture here, and they will feel left out and be at risk for these kinds of terrorist acts, or perpetuating these ideas in their kids.

Thank you Arianna Huffington for showing sense and sensibility. I wish more media outlets would stop paying heed to this clown.

A Note on Trump: We Are No Longer EntertainedÂ*|Â*Arianna Huffington

Earlier today, the candidate currently leading in the polls for the Republican presidential nomination called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” That was, of course, Donald Trump. As Jeffrey Goldberg just tweeted, “Donald Trump is now an actual threat to national security. He’s providing jihadists ammunition for their campaign to demonize the US.”
On the heels of Trump’s proposed change for America, we will be changing how we cover him at The Huffington Post. Back in July, we announced our decision to put our coverage of Trump’s presidential campaign in our Entertainment section instead of our Politics section. “Our reason is simple,” wrote Ryan Grim and Danny Shea. “Trump’s campaign is a sideshow.”
Since then Trump’s campaign has certainly lived up to that billing. But as today’s vicious pronouncement makes abundantly clear, it’s also morphed into something else: an ugly and dangerous force in American politics. So we will no longer be covering his campaign in Entertainment. But that’s not to say we’ll be treating it as if it were a normal campaign.
Our decision in July was made because we refused to go along with the idea, based simply on poll numbers, that Trump’s candidacy was actually a serious and good faith effort to present ideas on how best to govern the country. We continue to believe this to be true – and will continue to let it guide our coverage – but much has changed.
Yes, there was certainly no shortage of ugly comments from the beginning, as he kicked off his campaign with outrageous comments about Mexicans. But at first, this over-the-top xenophobia, though disgusting, played as the sour shtick of a washed-up insult comic. Now that Trump, aided by the media, has doubled down on the cruelty and know-nothingness that defined his campaign’s early days, the ‘can you believe he said that?’ novelty has curdled and congealed into something repellent and threatening – laying bare a disturbing aspect of American politics.
We believe that the way we cover the campaign should reflect this shift. And part of that involves never failing to remind our audience who Trump is and what his campaign really represents.
As Jay Rosen recently observed:
“To an extent unrealized before this year, the role of the press in presidential campaigns relied on shared assumptions within the political class and election industry about what the rules were and what the penalty would be for violating them … These assumptions were rarely tested because the risk seemed too high, and because risk-averse professionals – strategists, they’re called – were in charge of the campaigns.”

That is, most politicians knew not to say outlandish and offensive and dangerous things because they knew they’d be punished for it. As Rosen continues, “Those beliefs have now collapsed because Trump ‘tested’ and violated most of them – and he is still leading in the polls.”
But that doesn’t mean we in the media should in any way let Trump or those who would follow his footsteps off the hook. So as we cover his daily campaign, we’ll constantly remind the public of what he stands for, citing references and providing links.
For example:

  1. His enthusiasm for creating a database of all Muslims in the United States.
  2. His ongoing lies about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating 9/11.
  3. His status as birther-in-chief, cynically sowing doubt about President Obama’s legitimacy as the duly elected President of the United States.
  4. His misogyny – here’s just one HuffPost piece on this, but there’s no shortage of these.
  5. His xenophobia and scapegoating of immigrants, including his lies about Mexican immigrants and his ardent desire to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
  6. His unmistakable passion for bullying. Again, there’s no shortage of examples, but you could start with his defense of supporters who roughed up a protester at one of his rallies or his ridiculing of a disabled New York Times reporter.
    And we’re happy to see we’re not alone in our desire to present the unvarnished, un-euphemized Trump. Last week, The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank opened acolumn by writing, “Let’s not mince words: Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist.” And he went on to back that up, which isn’t hard and is the approach any reporter with an interest in telling the truth to his or her readers should adopt.
    So if Trump’s words and actions are racist, we’ll call them racist. If they’re sexist, we’ll call them sexist. We won’t shrink from the truth or be distracted by the showmanship.
    Of course, Trump isn’t the only candidate out there spouting extreme and irresponsible messages, but he’s in a unique position in the wall-to-wall coverage, from Meet the Press to SNL, that he elicits. By not calling out Trump’s campaign for what it is, many in the media, addicted to the ratings buzz he continues to deliver, have been legitimizing his ugly views.
    As we’ve seen in the Republican race so far, Trump’s worst comments don’t occur in a vacuum – or land without repercussions. They affect the tenor of the conversation, frequently moving the line between what’s considered mainstream and what’s considered unabashedly extreme and unacceptable.
    So we’ll not only be covering the ways Trump’s campaign is unique in recent American politics, but also the disastrous impact it continues to have on his fellow candidates – and the national conversation.

Re: Donald Trump calling for 'complete shutdown' on Muslims entering U.S.

If the Washington Post is going against him, and if Dick Cheney is disagreeing with him on this, you KNOW he went too far.

I couldn't believe my ears when they played a clip today on CNN of Dick Cheney explaining how it doesn't work to ban all muslims from entering the US. And you know, Dick Cheney is the reason there was a massacre, cough war on terror in Iraq. And even HE is saying you can't just take away liberties like this.

I was thinking of planning a trip to Pakistan for some shopping, but I think I'm going to nix that. I might not be allowed back into the country. :(

You know it's interesting. Puts a different perspective on the ban of non-muslims to Makkah and Madina.

How is that fair? Maybe if we were more inclusive, we would find the world welcoming us more.

Re: Donald Trump calling for 'complete shutdown' on Muslims entering U.S.

Don't be part of bigots frenzy. What people wear or not should be up to them. When you go down this road you don't know where you will end up. This man is a moron and should be treated with contempt instead of entertaining or giving credibility to anything he says.

Would USA be a country worth going to if the people there manage to elect this man as their president?

He's a joke. Everyone knows that. Don't think he's worth the discussion.

Re: Donald Trump calling for 'complete shutdown' on Muslims entering U.S.

Cheney speaking up for refugees may be his way of expressing solidarity with Jebya. Last reports indicate the ex President is still missing a heart.
