Trump’s ban Muslims call not unreasonable

The mentality of UK politicians has reached an all-time low. They are debating whether Donald J Trump should be banned from entering the UK due to his call to ban all Muslims from entering the USA until the immigration authorities can sort out what is goi

These are not his exact words, but that is what he said. The point is Trump did not call for a ban on all Muslims. He was calling for stringent immigration controls to prevent radicalised Muslims from entering the country. But the debate in Westminster is based on the first part of his sentence. Trump’s remark was clearly qualified by the clause, “until we know what is going on”. Trump’s statement, read in its entirety, was not unreasonable but precautionary.
For members of a British parliament, the bastion of English language, to debate an issue based on a half statement is not only ludicrous but a dangerous placation of Muslim agitators.
Had European and American leaders adopted Trump’s sensible approach to immigration some years ago, 9/11, the Charlie Hebdo murders, the Paris slaughter, 7/7 and the mass rape in Cologne and across Germany and Europe would not have occurred. There would be no no-go areas for police and European women would not be in fear of venturing out after dark.
The situation has nothing to do with racism. It is common sense for a country to control its borders. A country without borders is not a country and its laws may as well not exist.
The pertinent question which must be posed is who and what is a Muslim? The definition of a Muslim is someone who follows the fundamental ideology of Islam as taught by the Prophet Muhammad. While there are Muslims who claim to be fundamentalists and enact the original diktat, there are many who do not, claiming to be moderate and peaceful. Both claim to be Muslim, hence the confusion and fear among the general public including Muslims. It is a justified fear of uncertainty, not a phobia.
Rather than debating a groundless issue based on an erroneous, seriously edited statement, the brains of Britain and Europe should be challenging Muslims to identify themselves. Countries and their people have a right to know whether a migrant Muslim’s allegiance is to their host country and its laws or to fundamental Islam and Sharia law.
