We cannot ban based on religion. That violates the 1st amendment. Now stopping all immigration temporarily until the vetting process is fixed would be fair.

PVT James Strait - We still have this pesky thing called the Constitution. If we start using religion as the basis of government decisions in this case, what happens when another group say Christians or Jews are targeted in the same manner. This is a VERY dangerous course and also a very slippery slope. Shut down all immigration for a time and it's fair and equal. We get the same result, just without targeting based on religion. You also have to consider that not all middle eastern folks are Muslims. So if you shut down immigration for Muslims, they will just start saying they are Christians or Jews. A Middle Eastern Christian doesn't look any different than a Middle Eastern Muslim.

I am going to leave it at that.

PVT James Strait - Killing thousands of people is different from violating the freedoms of many more, we are willing to kill for what we believe in -- what's the point in sacrificing what we believe in to protect what we believe in. Ontop of that, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki we killed 200,000 people... 0.007% of the worlds population then. We are talking about exiling 1.6 billion people. Violating 23% of the world population's freedoms (or potential thereof).

There is no war against Islam, there is only a struggle against religious extremists... some who are Islamic and want to turn the US into a theocracy and some who are Christian who want to turn the US into a theocracy.

I would support a temporary ban of any individual coming from an area we are not currently on friendly relations with.

Hi, Sergeant Cunnally. I don't know if this will answer your question, but it came to mind first.

""Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Maybe, in the future, you should do a little research, and understand the context of the quote you so freely throw up.
