Apparently the republican presidential candidate Donald
Trump says that a Muslim data base shall be created in United States or special
ID cards be used for Muslims and that it is just a necessary measure needed for
proper execution of security. For obtaining ‘information and learning about the
enemy’. The article also talks of trump making comments in the past like ‘mosques
be taken into surveillance and Syrians be deported’. The article also sheds
light on the view of some other republicans who share Trump’s point of view and
calls on for halt on the Syrian refugee processing. Also interesting is the
comparison made by Ben Carson, perhaps another republican where he calls
Muslims Dogs and ISIS a rabid one and he says we should watch out for the rabid
dog and put our children away but that doesn't mean we hate all dogs.
If asked to analyse I would say it is not only distressing but
indeed sad. Such comments coming from a major political party’s candidate who
is to run for presidential elections the coming year; it really seems out of
place. What else do you call racism when you draw that line of me and you?
Would these serve as examples of humanity and religious freedom in today’s time?
