Openly rejecting, indiscriminately, a whole religion a whole culture, is dangerous, it creates a wide range of problems, from economical, to political, would greatly damage geostrategics and ultimately generate more hate. That is not prudence, that's embracing ignorance.

To answer your point. I don't like conservative Christians. But I'd have to admit I've absolutely gone off my rocker if I wanted them banned from the country. I don't see them very different from many Muslims. Ignorant of science, reactive, conservative, etc. More likely to be gun owners, which in turn means they're more likely to go on a mass shooting, which in turn has killed tons of people.
Ok guys. Let's ban all guns then. They're way more likely to kill you than Muslims. Let's not swim with crocs! I assume anyone that's supporting the ban on Muslims will support this, right?
Guys?

Using lightning falsely supports your argument, because if you are true to your words on avoiding any small chance of harm, you would have to stop eating or you will choke, you would stop taking baths or you will drown and showers as well or you will slip. All of those are far more probable that dying by a terrorist attack.
...even deers are statistically more dangerous. Let's get them all out of the country!

Thats great but I said nothing of the sort.
What I have said, is I will not walk through a storm with a golf club bc it is not worth it. The economic utility I could gain from walking through the rain with a golf club is minuscule. There is nothing in it for me. The juice isnt worth the squeeze. Cost benefit analysis. I eat bc I like to and I need to to survive. Eating provides me with a lot of utility. Muslims provide me with nothing but the small chance I or someone I care about is hurt. Muslims provide me with very little utility and I will therefore risk much less to avail myself to it. Holy crap man this isnt complicated. Are you doing this on purpose?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Donald Trump is a fascist.
Earlier he said he wanted a database of all the Muslim's in America and that each Muslim would have an ID card to identify them as a Muslim. Now he's saying he doesn't want any Muslim's at all. That's 25% of the entire world! What's next? They're just too dangerous, lock them all up in mass prisons! Too many for mass prisons, start killing the most dangerous of them...still too many, start killing all of them. 'Protect' America from these dangerous Muslim's!
Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslim immigration into the US, including that of tourists, was met with an immediate and massive backlash from across the political spectrum.
Republican presidential candidates moved quickly to condemn their party’s frontrunner, with Jeb Bush describing Trump as “unhinged” and Lindsey Graham calling on everyone seeking the presidency to denounce the plan. Even former vice-president Dick Cheney, as the Republican establishment began to chime in, told a conservative radio host the call “goes against everything we believe in.”
“Donald Trump today took xenophobia and religious bigotry to a new level,” Graham told the Guardian in an interview shortly after Trump unveiled his proposal.
But there’s one type of Muslim Trump really loves: The ones that make him big bucks. You see, if a Muslim can show Trump the money, then all those concerns he has with Muslims go right out the window of his private jet as he jets off to the Gulf to cash in.
For example, Trump loves Hussain Sajwani, head of the Dubai luxury real estate company Damac Properties. Trump has called the Muslim Sajwani a “good friend” and a “great man,” among other accolades. And in May 2014, The Donald even flew off to Dubai to spend time with his Muslim friend as they announced the massive real-estate project they were teaming up to create in that Gulf state.
And when I say massive project, I mean Trump-style “yuge!”
