Donald Trump Adviser Rudy Giuliani Says It's Time to Start Electronically Tagging Muslims

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has emerged as a prominent adviser and campaign surrogate for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, told reporters on Wednesday he would support requiring all Muslims on federal terrorism watch lists to wear physical tracking devices to monitor them at all times.
Giuliani also seemed to hint the tracking devices would act as a visual warning to others that the person in question was a potential threat.
"I would think that's an excellent idea," Giuliani said, according to NJ.com. "If you're on the terror watch list, I should know you're on the terror watch list. You're on there for a reason."
As mayor of New York during the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, Giuliani was widely praised for his initial response to the disaster — but in recent years, has become an outspoken advocate of putting the nation's mosques under surveillance. Giuliani's role in launching a New York Police Department unit that spied on every place of Islamic worship within 100 miles of the city, including places not under its jurisdiction, has also since come under fire.

Hitler made Jews wear a star of David, next these fascists will want Muslims to wear a star and crescent. I feel like I'm watching a bad 80's flick about an apocalyptic future...

In an insidious way you begin to take such outrages for granted. This is not a mental disease it is pure despotism.

just to have them wear a crescent patch on their clothes. Maybe a tatoo on the arm, too.

tip off the person by putting a tracking device on them. Seems counter-productive in that way.
