Jonathan Greenblatt, director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which campaigns against anti-Semitism and other bigotry, said he would register as Muslim if the database is created because of “painful memories” from when Jews were “identified, registered and tagged”.

Speaking to AFP, Mr Greenblatt said: “The day they create a registry for Muslims is the day that I register as a Muslim because of my Jewish faith, because of my commitment to our core American values, because I want this country to be as great as it always has been.


Only Trump can get Jews and Muslims to band together....

I thought his people would've learned they wanna be on the other side of the walls when white nationalists start talking solutions for undesirable minorities.

Pretty nutty if you think about it. What's a "muslim?" If you have certain beliefs you have to say so to the government in some official capacity, tell them who you are, where you live, officially indicate your beliefs? That has to be a violation of constitutional rights' freedom of religion.

The things I'm reading in the NYT the last few days have me wondering if the USA isn't headed for another McCarthyism, even totalitarianism willy nilly. Even Richard Nixon seems way preferable.

Bringing Americans together. His fondest dream. That's why he ran for president.

That is a sticky one isn't it? Wasn't Christianity tamed by continuous disrespect (starting with Voltaire)? How can reformation of a religion occur absent disrespect?

For example, if a religious person says their God makes it impossible for evolution to occur.... that his belief should be used in science books. THEN it is perfectly fine to treat that person's assertion with utter contempt and derision..... it just is.....

Disrespect of bad ideas? Yes. Disrespect of the people who hold those ideas no. There is a very big difference. I'm not accusing you of doing so, just pointing that out for those that might conflate the two.

Some people are just shitty by the standards of modern liberal western virtue, eg. honesty, ethics, etc. This is just an objective fact.
