If you want to believe that American Muslims represent the average Muslim of the world, you're free to do that. I'm not going to continue to converse with you in this thread because I don't see the point.

The reason he is advocating for vetting Muslims is because their is a not so insignificant Muslim population that has openly expressed a desire to slaughter innocent Americans just trying to live their llives.
There may be Christian Terrorists yes, but they are nowhere near as Armed as Muslim terrorists,
nowhere near the sheer number of Muslim Terrorists, their body count is marginal when compared to Muslim Terrorists,
and unless you can prove to me that Christian Terrorists abroad, who are rrefugees wanting to come to America, have an explicit desire to kill large numbers of Americans, then you can't claim you are trying to protect America and her ideals.
AFAIK the biggest Christian Terrorist groups are in Africa and their war is pretty much focused on African Muslims (who are also attacking Christians and who are the primary reason these Christian Terror Groups appeared in the first place, but that's another discussion). Anywhoo, that number (of Christian terroistas who are refugees) is pretty damn small if not non existent.
The Christians refugees who are trying to come here are typically Christians who are being actively oppressed, usually in Muslim Majority countries and would not be alive if they were Terrorists in them.
That is something unique to Islam when it comes to the three Abrahamic religions. Muslims have this uncanny aspect about them that even when they are a minority, they still have an active and significant violent side that completely overshadows the violent elements in other religions.
In the countries where Christians are fleeing oppression, the largest portion of them are ridiculously oppressed (Pakistan, Egpyt, most of North Africa, Syria, etc.) In these countries, Christians are treated officially as second class citizens (you might want to have a chat with the Christian woman on death row in Pakistan for supposedely blasphemizing the Koran if you don't believe me). However on the inverse of that, in Christian/any non Islamic majority countries where there is a Muslim minority, in almost every single one, there is active MUSLIM terrorist activity. Again, this is more or less Africa, but also think Muslim Terrorists in China (Muslims make 2% of the populatiin) India (up to 15%), Phillipines (up to 10%)
In every single one of those non Islamic majority countries, there are active Islamic terrorist groups. Now, I dare you to find me a non Christian majority country with a SIGNIFICANT active Christian terrorist group.

I'm glad you are consistent. Only problem is that Obama and Hillary haven't done anything about gun control or religion control.
You share the same views.
"The correlation between religiosity and successful societies is somewhere around 0.7. Zero is no correlation and one is a perfect correlation, so it's a really good correlation, and it's not just an accident," he told CBC News.
"There's no situation where you have a really highly religious nation that's highly successful socially."
Now, I dare you to find me a non Christian majority country with a SIGNIFICANT active Christian terrorist group.
