Trump's demand that Mosques be closed -- Here's what Washington said in a letter to the Jews

[LoneLaugher]

George Washington Letter

George Washington and his Letter to the Jews of Newport
The original of Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregations of Newport, Rhode Island is small in size, but its impact on American life is immense. In 340 well-chosen words, the Letter reassures those who had fled religious tyranny that life in their new nation would be different, that religious “toleration” would give way to religious liberty, and that the government would not interfere with individuals in matters of conscience and belief. Quoting the Bible’s Old Testament, Washington writes,

“every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”
He continues:

For happily the Government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.1

When he wrote this particular letter in August of 1790, the new President must have been aware of the effect it would have on the fledgling nation. He could not have known the extent of its influence today. The history behind Washington’s Letter not only gives us an understanding of the values of the early colonists and our Founding Fathers, but also insight into two fundamental tenets of American democracy: the separation of church and state, and the right of individuals to believe in and practice their religion.

Trump will destroy the basic fundamental right of this nation -- which is freedom to worship without government persecution.

When Christians, Jews, and atheists are no longer being persecuted and are able to live freely and equally in Muslim nations, we'll entertain the idea accepting Muslims into our nation.

That's ridiculous. Do you know why?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Trump's antics and crazy talk is only making matters worse.

I'll take Donald Trump over Rick Santorum or Marco Rubio any day of the week. Both are establishment Republicans which are precisely the type of politicians that say one thing and do another. We do not need any more Establishment Republicans. God save us from such a day!

And Trump's favorite book is the bible. You believe him when he says that, don't you?

 

[Correll]

Trump's antics and crazy talk is only making matters worse.

hard to believe worse than two 110 story buildings coming down, humans burned alive, heads cut off living humans, rock concert slaughter etc.

This fails as a composition fallacy.

Neither American Muslims nor Syrian refugees were responsible for 9/11; and neither are responsible for the acts of terror committed by criminals who have misappropriated Islam, and who in no way represent all Muslims.

So yes, Trump and other hateful bigots who advocate 'registering' Muslims with the government and 'investigating' mosques are making matters worse, by inciting unwarranted hostility toward Muslims.

Is it unwarranted? The "Belgium" who was the mastermind of the Paris attacks wasn't responsible for 9-11 nor did he represent all muslims.

He was born in Belgium. Legally speaking he was a Belgium.

But in reality he was an alien enemy.

How do you want to deal with that fact?

Given his hatred, ignorance, and bigotry, we certainly don't need the likes of Trump.

THat fails as the Logical Fallacy of Argument by Assertion.

If Jews were building suicide vests in the basement, Washington might have a different opinion.

However, at that time, there was still a lingering belief that Jews stole babie and used their blood at Seder.

It's not ridiculous.

It a high bar, designed to open the borders to further Muslim immigration when Islam has become less dangerous.

COmpletely reasonable.

The fears of Islamic terrorism is not a "lingering belief", it is a rational response to random deadly danger.

Because the Law does not define Reality.

So...how do we know who the "alien enemies" are in any country.....among those born and raised there?

So...you don't think people took their lingering belief that Jews might steal and kill their babies seriously?

Who the fuck cares whether you "entertain the idea of accepting Muslims"?

You don't get a say, bigot. Muslims will continue come to this nation and make up an important part of American culture, whether you like it or not.

"Seriously"? I didn't use that term.

Fear of the REALITY of Islamic terrorism is a rational response to real random deadly danger.

For your analogy to work, you have to demonstrate that Jews were ACTUALLY stealing and killing gentile babies.

Link please.

Perhaps "raging anti-American asshole" is a more appropriate term. Or "prejudiced piece of shit".

And if the Syrian refugees are sent back by President Trump, you won't have a say about that.
