I do not support religious tests.
Nor do I support any religion.
That is what Islam does...if you aren't Muslim, you are as good as dead for defecting against their God.
That said, if you don't support Islam, you are dead if caught and tested. How will you deal with that if you were a hostage of such a faith? What would you want your President to do?
Like it or not, we are dealing with spiritual/religious warfare world-wide....
What country is Islam let me know and I will avoid it then I will not worry about being caught blah, blah.
Anyway, when I was active duty serving overseas I wasn't as paranoid as many people here.
Between yesterday's thread and this one you give me the impression that you want a wholly war. Is that wrong?

Holy wars do not bring peace. They only fuel the next war.
Those that wish to send people to fight holy wars are no better than the ones they are fighting against.

ISIS would not be in Iraq if we had not invaded
Q: Iraq is back, unfortunately. A terror threat from this group known as ISIS is back and perhaps poses the biggest threat we've seen to the West since Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Former V.P. Dick Cheney, said that al Qaeda is on the march, and that America is less safe under President Obama.
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: I believe if they hadn't gone to war in Iraq none of this would be happening.
Q: It wouldn't be happening in Syria?
BILL CLINTON: Well, it might be happening in Syria, but what happened in Syria wouldn't have happened in Iraq. Iraq would not have been, in effect, drastically altered, as it has been. But Mr. Cheney has been incredibly adroit for the last six years or so attacking the administration for not doing an adequate job of cleaning up the mess that he made. And I think it's unseemly. And I give President Bush, by the way, a lot of credit for trying to stay out of this debate and letting other people work through it.

1998: Signed Iraq Liberation Act calling for Saddam's ouster
In 1998 Saddam Hussein insisted that international weapons inspectors stop work and leave Iraq. In response, Congress passed and President Clinton signed into law the Iraq Liberation Act, making regime change in Iraq the policy of the United States government and approving nearly $100 million to fund Iraqi opposition groups working for Saddam's ouster.
That December, President Clinton launched Operation Desert Fox, a four-day air strike campaign meant to diminish Saddam's weapons capabilities. "If Saddam defies the world and we fail to respond, we will face a far greater threat in the future," President Clinton said. "Mark my words, he will develop weapons of mass destruction. He will deploy them, and he will use them." There was bipartisan support for the operation.
So you can assume US brought war unto themselves by sending Military to the Middle East under Clinton/Bush/Obama administrations.

Exactly what Hillary said. We need to go after the leaders of those countries make them accountable for donations to these terrorist groups. The leaders need to stop their citizens from funding them and they need to be held accountable when private citizens fund radicalization.

Laying it on thick. That's how we describe liars where I come from. Liars and phonies.
You're laying it on thick, too.
Just saying.
we need to put a temporary ban on people coming into this country from countries of radicalised Islam until we work out a way to screen them properly and perfectly because we have no idea who they are

You can of course show where she took millions and acted to benefit any special interest group right? It was asked during the debates and damn if none could be found. So please educate me.
