No

 @9G2T95NRepublican from Ohio agreed…5mos5MO

If you ban one religion, you set a precedent that you can ban all religions. This is misaligned with The First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

 @9FMRSM5 from Michigan agreed…6mos6MO

Reports, surveys, news articles, and first-hand testimony given by many Muslims talks about the amount of Muslims that are not in relation to the terrorist attacks at all.

 @9G2HK4FPeace and Freedom from New York agreed…5mos5MO

Most immigrants come to america for better job or living oppurtunities. What if a Muslim is coming to America to leave his harsh living standards at home or if there is a war and he is a refugee.

 @9FTYC65Peace and Freedom  from New York agreed…6mos6MO

One of the most known terrorist attacks in the country was the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Even though Al-Qaeda is a Muslim group, the entire Muslim population should not be cast aside and not allowed to enter the country. Anyone from any religion could be a terrorist and there have been many terrorist attacks by groups/people of other religions. Just because 9/11 is very sad yet well-known attack does not mean all Muslims are terrorists.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional

 @9FPFGQ5 from Florida agreed…6mos6MO

What if someone did it to you? What if the country started taking you’re race/ethnicity/religion with caution do to terrorism?

 @9G4PV5D from Michigan disagreed…5mos5MO

Their religion is ok, unless it is maliciously used against people in which they should be deported or put in prison.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia commented…5mos5MO

I see no deportation attempts for Proud Boys or Evangelicals, so I don’t really think this rule is being applied as much for the sake of religious extremism as it is for MUSLIM extremism.”

 @GleefulR3pr3sntat1veGreen from Florida agreed…5mos5MO

That's an interesting point regarding the selective application of rules and how it could potentially be biased. One example that comes to mind is the differing responses to domestic and foreign threats. Take the Oklahoma City bombing, committed by an American citizen with extremist views. The response to that tragedy didn't involve a broad ban on a specific demographic. Do you think this is a fair comparison to make? If so, how do you think we could ensure more equal treatment across the board?

 @9FZ7G4K from New Jersey disagreed…5mos5MO

It would only be unconstitutional if they were United States citizens. They are not. They are immigrants.

 @9FXRWKGfrom Montana disagreed…5mos5MO

Only immigrants with something to provide to the country should be let in
. Only intellectual’s
not low class uneducated people.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes

 @9G2T95NRepublican from Ohio disagreed…5mos5MO

We should not ban all Muslims from entering the United States of America. This policy is discriminatory in nature, and banning individuals from entering the United States based on their religion is religious discrimination.

 @9G4PV5D from Michigan agreed…5mos5MO

If someone is in need to live in our country they can, however they can not come in with a terroristic mindset, they shall be as harmless as all our citizens and know their roll, or be out of it because they couldn't stay that way.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, and ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process

 @9FZ7G4K from New Jersey agreed…5mos5MO

 @9FRHCCC from Nebraska agreed…6mos6MO

They like to blow people up because they pretend thier god told them to, we do not need a re-run of the twin towers

 @9F6PZ3J from Texas disagreed…6mos6MO

No they should not be banned because of what group they identify as, as long as they are not harmful to people. Islam is a religion of peace, it is a certain few who catch more attention that give it a bad reputation.

 @9F6PVX7 from North Carolina disagreed…6mos6MO

The screening process could be improved, but it is not weak. Some immigrants need to immigrate to America to keep themselves and their families safe, and they shouldn't be denied that opportunity.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries

 @9FTY7MQ from Connecticut disagreed…6mos6MO

i think that its unfair cause they could be running away for their lives from those same high risk countries

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, until terrorist attacks decrease

 @9FTYC65Peace and Freedom  from New York disagreed…6mos6MO

The fact that people follow Islam and identify as Muslim should not forbid them from being able to enter the country. Anyone of any religion could be a terrorist so it is irrational and unfair for Muslims to be singled out and excluded.

 @9FV8MQ9 from California agreed…6mos6MO

I fully agree with this statement because signaling and banning anyone from entering the nation for the sole reason of "potential" terrorism, is a crime against humanity and the choice that comes with freedom of religion.

 @9G2T95NRepublican from Ohio disagreed…5mos5MO

Terrorist attacks can be executed by any individual, from any background internationally and domestically. Because of this, banning a religion becomes a bad precedent. Folks should be banned on an individual basis.

 @9FMXSGV from Ohio disagreed…6mos6MO

Terrorists are not muslims, they are not based nor are muslims. Being labeled as a muslim does not mean decrease the position of muslim immigrants

 @9FMXVFK from North Dakota disagreed…6mos6MO

Anyone who chooses that option had better hold true to this belief when it comes to right-wing groups such as the Proud Boys, because right-wing terror is far more prevalent in this nation than Islamist terror.

 @8D7X8VBNew Liberty from Pennsylvania answered…3yrs3Y

No, but there should be a well -defined process to vet immigrants of all countries.

 @5CMPKVXIndependencefrom Washington answered…3yrs3Y

Fact is, all terrorist attacks thus far have been from Muslims - not Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Seventh Day Adventists, atheists, Satanists, etc. So, let's call a spade a spade and understand that radical jihadist Islamist Muslims have targeted everything and everyone not in accordance with it's stance on well, everything. Is it okay to be leery of such folk? I say, YES.

 @5CWPNK3from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

From what I understand, every incoming immigrant who comes legally goes through 40 hours of interrogation and 3 background checks. How much more do we need?

 @546BWHRfrom North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

We put Japanese and Germans in camps while at war. Are we not at war on terrorists?

 @4XW9CJVfrom Idaho answered…3yrs3Y

Most of the "terrorism" is engineered by the CIA, Mossad, MI6 etc. The Muslims are fall guys.

 @546LXDPfrom California answered…3yrs3Y

Religion should not be a factor of terrorism, however there needs to be a stricter screening process.

 @5CXH2XNfrom New York answered…3yrs3Y

I'm torn on this one... It's crazy to actually consider banning a whole religion and it feels icky as well.... But the status quo needs to change as well... But I'm gonna say no... No ban but single men traveling back and forth should be watched more closely

 @5CXGNWHfrom Washington answered…3yrs3Y

There are millions of Christians who need help. Bring them in first. As a woman I am apposed to inviting cultures that think women are not equal to me. We fought too hard for our rights and those of our daughter. May sound harsh but it is creating enormous anger amounts everyday people you are not meeting. This is a very explosive issue

 @5498JBFfrom Michigan answered…3yrs3Y

No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, but strict background checks should be enacted

 @5496787from Rhode Island answered…3yrs3Y

Let them enter the country but keep them contained. After all, they are asking for help. We can help and need not feel guilty if we restrict their movement and don't exactly provide 4 star hotel. I can see us being accused of something awful just because we need to maintain national security. That's not fair but it would happen, I'm sure. Do it anyway. It's the only human thing we can do and survive.

 @9D47SPKDemocrat from North Carolina answered…8mos8MO

no, unless they are suspect or have a criminal record, and as long as a strict background check was applied
