A day after President Obama asked Americans to reject discrimination against Muslim Americans, Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, stated that all Muslims should be unable to enter the United States. In making this announcement, his reasoning behind this action was polls with evidence that large segments of Muslims hate Americans. As you can imagine, this announcement caused strong criticism, including some of his fellow Republican candidates and state party leaders. One of the people's comments that caught my eye was Matt Moore, the Chairman of the South Caroline Republican Party. Matt Moore tweeted, "As a conservative who truly cares about religious liberty, Donald Trump's bad idea and rhetoric send a shiver down my spine." While other people voting in polls agree with Donald Trump's idea but were just scared to speak up. Honestly, in my opinion I think this idea is ignorant. Think about it, not all Christians are bad and there are some people bombing abortion clinics out in the world. Not all muslims are bad. I think banning all Muslims will only cause more violence. If someone is willing to kill for their "god", then someone is willing to lie and say they are not part of the Muslim community. These people are extremist. There is a difference.
