Reply to: Trump - Ban all Muslims

Fair enough - I know you have to change my words to inform to the ignorant.

If they knew or where related people from various religions, they would realise that every individuals interpretation is that - individual.

They would end up knowing Jews who don't believe in the state of Israel and Muslims who do.

Danger. You are educated and literate. You are able to interpret. You might wan't to add a disclaimer that many are not. Very many.

A significant additional problem is that not all Muslims like Christians are of the same sect.

So basically like Christians they can spend centuries beating each other up and killing each other due to believing in variations of Islam.

Not a good source at all.

This is probably the best "Introduction" I know of on the Internet.

An Inquiry Into Islam: What Makes Islam So Successful?

It is not perfect but it does present the side of Islam that may be of concern.

Very poor photo as they are all the same shade.

The Muslims I know are every shade under the sun.

Yeah, THAT looks like an unbiased source.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

So, they went after a social and economic system, followed by an organization of workers and then an ethnoreligious group, followed by Pastor Martin Niemölle who was a member of the German Protestant ('Evangelische') Church. Niemöller wasn't too concerned about the Catholic Church.

This quote makes sense in the context of National Socialist Germany during the time of the holocaust, but within the legal framework of a Western country, persecution of an ethnoreligious group is unlikley, despite even Trump's bluster.

The Muslim's are safe. Unless they are also benefits claimants in which case all bets are off.
