How will Trump's Muslim Registry work?

Not even gender is fixed.

Let me give you an example. Make it two examples. I have a friend who is from Iran and was born to Muslim parents. I asked him if he's a practicing Muslim. He said "F--k Muhammad." Woe !!! I have another Muslim friend from Iran who was diagnosed with Glacouma. I think he would be more scared if he knew the severity of it. Any way I asked him if he was going to pray. He said "I don't know how to pray. Maybe I will ask my dad."


Will Trump go all Hitler and apply strict tests like Hitler applied to the Jews?

The courts will stop him. What will his party do?

It won't. Germany's Jewish registry didn't fully work, and they were much more brutal and efficient. TreasonousBastard Nov 2016 #1

about it than we would be.

The very thought is anathema to most Americans. (I hope...)

filled in the details. So far, he's just bloviating. I don't think it'll ever go any further, but if it does, we'll find out the details then.

Meaning born Christians. Besides two members of Congress, and sports figures, how about just plain ordinary citizens? A former co-worker of mine converted to Islam but he kept his Christian birth name. Very few people at work knew he was Muslim.

To quote what he said to me, "I face enough discrimination as a Black man so why would I want to add being a Muslim to it".

How would he identify a "Keith Ellison" as Muslim and register them. On the other hand, I know a few christians from Pakistan who have Muslim sounding names
