What Trump actually said was the U.S. should have a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S. until our representatives can figure out what's going on (with ISIS, terrorists, etc). Nothing wrong with that, quite innocuous if you ask me. All ISIS are Muslim but not all Muslims are ISIS. We need better checks and vetting processes before we invite terror into our front yard. We can probably all agree to that, right?

But...what the media is trying to push is that Trump called for an all out ban on anything and everything Muslim, even if they're already in the U.S. They're comparing it to the Jewish holocaust. Come the fuck on...really!?!? Just look around and look at some of the news headlines (hell, even look at thread titles here on GFY). Suckers are falling for it every second, and it's sad.

We have brains. We're supposed to be analytical creatures. Why does 99% of our population go with what they're told?
