An israeli killing and stabbing blacks in cleveland and throughout the United States, this is crazy, most people from , thewere from saudi arabia reason they are not going to allow saudi arabia to do this is because he has dealings with people and businesses. With certain islamic countries and he will not put the people on the list, donald trump is crazy and a walking impeachment, thank you. Host Virginia Beach excuse me, Virginia Beach next up, betty, good morning. Caller good morning, my name is betty, that is right, in Virginia Beach, this is the most awful thing, i am ashamed, there should never be any religious test. He can try and say it is not a religious test but it is a religious test because i believe he said something about letting whichorities christians that is fine but this is the most shameful thing. And if the republicans the leaders of the republicans in congress, they really should be speaking out against this. I happened to be jewish, i am not that religious but that is what i am and i hope the Antidefamation League condemns this. All kinds of groups should be condemning this, a horrible, horrible, horrible thing, never a religious test to come here and as far as banning the Syrian Refugees that are mostly women and children, they go through a ing for a big vett couple of years and are extremely vetted already and it is the same thing like when jews were not let in during the second world war. And i heard Cote Divoires say that on morning joe cockie r oberts say that on morning joe and i agree with her, he is a horrible president , everything so far is that bad. Host joe ewing you the front page showing you the front page of the New York Daily News as they show you the statue of liberty, michael, republican line, good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call and thank you for cspan. I have a different outlook on this. Is somewhat islam of a political religion, especially if you look at it from the thinking of the radical islam where it is basically means submission. ,hey have throughout history many of them still believe in jihad and things like that. Sayones that do i do not all due and i am not saying there are good muslims in this country, there are. The ones that believe in this. Adical blend brand of islam they have never had a reformation like we have in christianity as we moderate some of these views. It is more of a political religion political theory than a religion, if you take it at his work which is to subjugate other peoples and force them to conform to islam. On that basis alone we have to be very weary of who we admit to this country. To me, that is not christianity does not do that and judaism does not do that and buddhism does not do that. This is something we have to watch out for because it has been inherent in islam from the beginning of from its origins 600 ad. Host do you see conflict between the temporary ban and the refugee policy outlined by the president and the constitutions First Amendment and the guarantee of religious freedom in terms of Congress Making no law regarding the establishment of a religion is this does this interfere with that . Caller that is an interesting point but i believe that as a constitution, it pertains to americans who are already here. I think that every country has the ability to limit who it admits to its country. I think that is not necessarily the constitution applies to americans who are under its jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of the constitution and the fact that many of these islamic radicals do not believe in the constitution. Test perfectly good litmus to ask these people if they will submit to become situation because a lot of muslims to submit to the constitution because a lot of these muslims, not all of them, in polls have shown many muslims do not believe in the constitution, they believe in sharia law. Host welcoming your views and thoughts on the executive actions on refugees signed by President Trump yesterday. 2027488000 for democrats. 2027488001 for republicans. All others 2027488002. Should the u. S. Limit refugees based on religion . A memo, this headline from december of 2015, Jake Cheney Dick cheney, his view then, we have not heard from him early this morning come he thinks the muslim band against everything we stand for. Former Vice President dick cheney has denounced republican president ial candidate Donald Muslim plan to ban immigration in america, he says this whole notion we can say been i hope religion goes against everything we stand for and believe in. That is part of what dick cheney said in late 2015. Gene, independent line, your thoughts. Wilmington, delaware. Caller good morning. I have a lot of perspective, i am heavily involved in the Interfaith Movement with lots of muslim friends and i do a pakistanichristian deal with Pakistani Christians in this , there is no war there are thousands languishing in greece and thailand and they are persecuted and they deserve asylum here. This is totally against what we stand for as americans. I do not believe there is any kind of litmus tests that will ever tell you a person was a jihadi and the majority of muslims have no knowledge of their religion and the more we teach them what the hate is in it, the more they tell us what the hate is in christianity and for the men who say buddhist are nonviolent, they are killing thousands of muslims around the world, especially in burma and the fall, buddhists nepal, buddhists, who everyone considers the most peaceful people. When you take the oath, it supersedes anything and your god comes first but your nation then becomes america. Host she was talking about the situation in burma, the buddhist and the muslims in burma, the Washington Post and one of their main editorials this morning, asias aleppo, the suffering has escalated, the transition from military rule to democracy remains as far from assured in burma on the military the comes a formidable force, now it is carrying out a scorchedearth offensive against some muslim militants. A campaign that is for 65,000 civilians to flee across the border to bangladesh amid reports of mass rape, torture, and the killing of innocents. You can read the entire piece at Washington Post. Com. Lots of comments on twitter. Should the u. S. Base ban refugees based on religion . Jim says that middle east immigration 101, not all muslims are jihadist but all jihadist are muslims. This one says the people who love us and will not kill us act. This is not what america is about but we can say everything about what trump has done. President trump yesterday spoke with david brody of the. Hristian Broadcasting Network here is some of what he had to say here. Areefugee changes you looking to make, persecuted christians, do you see them as a priority . President trump they have been horribly treated, if you are worried christian in syria, very tough to get into the United States, if you were a muslim you could come in but if you were a christian, it was almost impossible. The reason that was so unfair is because everybody was persecuted in all fairness but they were chopping off the heads of everybody. More so the christians. I thought it was very, very unfair. We will help them. Host that interview can be seen sunday at 11 00 on freeform which was formally abc family. Here on cspan and cspan radio, asking you should the u. S. Limit refugees based on religion . Hemingway, south carolina, good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call. Give me your tired, your huddled masses, your poor, that is what it says on the statue of liberty. Unfortunately, our new president has not used heard about it or does not want to follow it. The most interesting part is the ban,ries that he wants to none of them were involved in the attack on 9 11. He stated that was a reason he wanted to protect us. Isquestion to him is why he doing this when those countries were not involved . He is just playing to some sort out seated to keep [indiscernible] it is not what our country is supposed to be about. It is deeply disturbing and i hope folks wake up and protest or do something, we need to stop this before it gets so bad we cannot do anything about it. Host republican nine, pennsylvania, nathan line, republican pennsylvania, nathan. Caller first of all, i am amazed by the opinion of some people on the left or even some republicans to have this belief that america has an unlimited capacity to love at an unlimited resources, and limited space, but you need to look at a map. Drive in a crowded suburb and look that we have a country of 326 Million People, only 205 million when i was 12 years old in 1977. We will add 100 Million People to this country if we do not slow down migration altogether. Host you are talking about the broader issue of numbers of people, rather than just taste on religion based on religion . Caller we have been ringing in muslim refugees for 15 years. Go to lewiston, maine and see what somalias are doing to that sudan,ringing them from the mennonites, the quakers, the lutherans have been bringing them in, it is a money racket with the lutherans. Say,ther thing i wanted to this is something we have done it many times in our past, a lack of understanding or desk revisits in history, people forget that donald trump gave a hint of what he would do in his first debate when the only guy in 60 years to mention assimilation. Onmentioned the moratorium migration from 1924 to 1965 we stop immigration, absorbed the great wave into one language, one people, one unity, one allegiance, if we do not do that, we will be a schizophrenic nation and a seven headed dragon going in seven different directions. He is talking about a regional, not a religion, a regional stop because in this time in our history that part of the world is on fire and you do not bring people in from an area look at the problems germany and france are having, they have maybe 20 or 30 years before they are gone. Not because of muslims, they are not all terrorism terrorists but the fact that they are different and some people are assimilable and some are not. If we halted migration from every group in our history, i often point this out, if i could say one more thing host wrap it up, you have made good points, one more point. Caller to the people who say this is horrible did we let germans and italians come into the country during world war ii, was ellis island opened for operation . Of course not even though the majority of them would have loved to escape, we could not take a chance of one or two german coming in as saboteurs. The nation comes before the individual. Host i wanted to point out a tweet we saw from california, kamala harris, during the holocaust we fail to let refugees in like anne frank and we cannot let history repeat itself. He brings up a number of issues in terms of localities, let me read a quick piece from the Washington Post who are reporting on this executive order signed by President Trump yesterday and right that the order also included a new policy that states in localities should have a say in determining whether refugees can resettle their. The secretary of Homeland Security to propose a way to make their involvement routine, governors and mayors mostly republicans have objected to refugees was they are admitted to their untry after being resettled in their jurisdiction, often in small and mediumsized cities where the cost of living is lower then it is an big coastal cities. Earlier drafts of the order called for a creation of a safe zone to protect civilians in syria, a feature that could require committing thousands of Ground Troops but in the final order there was no mention of such zones. Active calls, back to calls, massachusetts, independent line. Caller good morning and thank you for taking my call. I wanted to point out that any sort of test you will do based on religion is going to be completely unobtainable and unenforceable how do you expect to asked somebody who is a terrorist that is looking to come into a country what religion they are or keep them confined to coming from a list . Y on that if you want to come into this country and do harm, you will simply lie about your religion . How is anyone planning on verifying an individuals religion . We all have an interest in keeping terrorists out of our country but we cannot do that by banning a broad swath of individuals and expect that to make a difference. It is no different to me than Airport Security before 9 11 where they ask you if your bags were in your position the whole time and if anybody else touch them. If you just have had to answer yes and you are on your way through. It seems silly to me that you could keep out people looking to do bad things to us by the country they are or asking them what religion they subscribe to. With aew york times story about a town in massachusetts dealing with refugees and immigrants, a city built there is the headline, a city built on refugees looks at the plan with fear, the New York Times running that went on it and her two sisters and mother arrived here Late Wednesday night, the somali family could hardly believe their good fortune, it is like a , theirome true she said arrival was more remarkable because they may be among the last refugees allowed into the United States before President Donald Trump closes the border, he cited executive order suspending the nations Resettlement Program temporarily with an eye toward shrieking it and it resumes, their family the city, 35f miles from boston with red brick factories lining its canals until they searched for it on google from kenya two weeks ago. If it is strange to them, having been here not strange for local, immigrants including many refugees are part of the fabric of a life in the city of 108,000 people which most a kaleidoscope of cultures, downtown bursting with restaurant serving ,ortuguese, mexican, greek cambodian, japanese fare and global features a statue of buddha and a plaque honoring Nelson Mandela and a site in the high sc
