Should the US Close its Borders?
TERROR!!!
Hello all,
I would like to open the doors to discussing an important topic with you all today.
Terrorism Around The Globe.
Background
Terrorist Attacks have sadly become a regular event in society. It doesn't matter where you're from; you are a target. Whether you're black or white, gay or straight, Catholic or Muslim, Terrorism will in some way, shape, or form affect you.
Last year, there was a mass shooting at The Pulse, an LGBT+ friendly nightclub in Orlando, Florida. At 2am an ISIS supporting, American born terrorist named Omar Mateen went into The Pulse and opened fire. 50 people were killed and 53 were injured. This is being called the biggest mass shooting in American history.
The Debate
With The Rise of Trump as the President Elect, we see somewhat extreme views revolving around how America should deal with the issue of terrorism. As Trump has said many times, he would like to bar Muslims from entering the United States, while expelling Muslims living within our borders, or forcing them to wear some form of visible identification. The Attack on The Pulse has been bringing plenty of support to Trump with supporters outraged about yet another attack on American Soil by an Islamic Extremist.
While on the other hand...
Omar Mateen was an American citizen. He was born in Brooklyn, New York with Afghan parents. He was not trained with the intent to come to America and attack. the victims of the attack were from multiple faiths. Muslims died in the attack as well. The issue is more the empowerment of Mentally Ill who legitimately believe that killing is justifiable.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
- Is closing our borders to those of Muslim Herritage Justifiable?
- Should a nation born on religious freedom judge a whole religion based on the actions of Mateen?
- Is it right to let a few sick individuals reflect upon 2.08 Billion people?
- Is it time to end our war on Terror?
- Should America be supporting Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip?
- If we forced Islam out of American borders where will we relocate the 3,000,000 Muslim Americans
- How would these drastic measures effect the United States economically? Would Opec put an embargo on us?
- And most importantly,WHATS GOING ON WITH TRUMP'S HAIR???
Closing the US borders will not protect US citizens from the terrorists already inside. Especially groups who think Trump endorses their deplorable behaviour: the KKK, the neo-nazi "alt-right", and other racist, sexist SOB's.
I agree.
Muslims need to live in Muslim Countries and not non Muslim Countries. America and Europe have had enough Islamification and all should be deported and the Islam faith outlawed. We welcomed Muslims into the country but this is how they repay us. All must go
Great attitude. Blame everyone for the actions of a few.
By your own logic we should probably ban all Americans from entering the UK, seeing as few of you like to shoot kids in schools.
To lighten the conversation a bit, the UK already banned Trump from entering it. @PhoenixMaid
haha that petition was was tongue in cheek he wasn't banned.
Oh, haha. It was still pretty funny, though!
