The American people are lied to constantly nowadays about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, but Paris and San Bernardino and Brussels and Orlando sent a message that comes through loud and clear, despite increasingly desperate government and media attempts to obscure it.
“Americans Have Grown To Like The Idea Of A Temporary Ban On Muslims,” by Alex Pfeiffer, Daily Caller, June 22, 2016:
When Donald Trump originally proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, polling showed that nearly six-in-ten Americans were opposed to the idea. Since that time, public opinion has gradually shifted to the extent that the number of Americans in favor of the proposition now consistently exceeds the number of those opposed to it.
“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” said a statement from the Trump campaign on December 7, 2015.
Three days later, the Wall Street Journal released a poll that found 57 percent of Americans objected to the proposed Muslim ban. Just 25 percent of those polled supported Trump’s plan at the time. CBS released similar polling results the next day. In the CBS poll, 58 percent of Americans opposed a temporary ban on Muslim immigration and 36 percent supported it.
One December poll from YouGov found different results than the WSJ and CBS polls. The YouGov poll showed 45 percent of Americans supported a Muslim ban, with 41 percent in opposition to it.
The next polling of Americans generally (rather than just Republican primary voters) on the issue came out in late March. That poll was conducted following the Islamic terror attack in Brussels that left 35 people dead.
YouGov polled Americans again on the Muslim ban and, by that time, support for the ban had increased to 51 percent and opposition to it had dropped to 40 percent.Another March poll — this time from Morning Consult — showed 50 percent of Americans supported temporarily banning Muslims from entering the U.S. Thirty-eight percent of respondents were against the idea.
Reuters has kept a rolling poll on the subject since May. On May 31, Reuters found that 54.5 percent of Americans disagreed with the Muslim ban and 40.7 percent supported it.
By June 6, the same poll found that 52 percent of Americans supported the ban, while 44 percent opposed it….

Wow! Americans are finally awaken. It is about time. Jihad Watch readers that statement is not for you as you have awaken long time ago I say.

Champ says
Majority of Americans now favor Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim immigration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indeed! …count me among the “Majority”!
gravenimage says
Feels good, Champ!
eduardo odraude says
It’s good news, but an essential fact is missing: how much do people care either way about a Muslim ban? Is it just a preference of the majority? Or something more important to them? I think it may be a rather weak preference for many — otherwise support for Trump would be much higher than polls have been showing. And for a long time polls have shown that more people favor Clinton than favor Trump. It ain’t over till it’s over, of course.
Champ says
Sure does, Graven! 🙂
Jack Everett says
All Islamic people should be banned from entering our country unless they can be vetted first.
I could care less about what Trump says but we need to start protecting our self.
Bob says
How d’you propose ‘vetting’ islamic people when lying to the infidel is accepted by the ‘holy’ koran?

Jack Everett ‘ Not only that, I would go one step further and say castrate the muslim men on entry into USA.

DFD says
Another one? As in *one* singular?
In Germany, over the last 6 weeks the police has intercepted or raided 2 or 3 weapon depots and transits. Some with pretty heavy “stuff”.
The number of Muslims in the US is by now high enough for the kinetic phase to occur regularly. Of course, I could be wrong (I’d love to be! Believe me.) but looking at the way Muslims behave and operate.
Also, applying terror. That is ‘hinting’ that the ‘atmosphere’ would be far less tense if the Muslims would not have to fear a victory of Trump. And since Charli Hebdo they know that terror works…

Trump will protect us – and right now, SELF-PRESERVATION is the #1 agenda on this nation’s list.

…………………
Bravo!
eduardo odraude says
But if they favored it strongly, then a majority would also be supporting Trump, which does not in fact seem to be the case right now.
KnowThyEnemy says
Some of it is Trump’s own fault! Why did he have to go after that judge and his ethnicity? He has lost virtually all Hispanic support, and more, because of that stupidity of his. The Hispanics will all be voting for Hillary now!
I follow this group of liberals on Twitter who recognize that there is a problem with Islam and who chastise the “regressive left” for their support for Islam. Unfortunately everyone in this group including the incredibly smart Sam Harris, supports Hillary and opposes Trump. I have seen Sam send many tweets to Hillary and almost begging her to recognize honestly the problem that is Islam.
Obviously this group is desperately hoping and waiting for Hillary to recognize Islam to be a problem! The JWers however know that this will never happen.
I think we need to engage this group of liberal centerists and make them realize that they are hoping against hope and will be axing their own foot if they vote for Hillary. We also need to convince them that it is smarter to vote for Trump despite his faults. If we can convince them, there is a decent chance that Trump will win.
WorkingClassPost says
Yes, it is a great mystery how anyone claiming to be a liberal cannot see and be horrified with what islam brings.
They should be up til the early morning every night of the week, searching for a way to make sense of it.
My. guess is that they are afraid of what they’ll find.
Turbo Diesel says
Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin is a Muslim.
So, Hillary most likely will NOT admit that Islam is a problem.
Steve says
Hillary is way behind Trump only you will never hear that through the Mainstream Media.
Rob says
The media insisted on leaving out the 2nd part of Trump’s comment, which was:
‘Until the Government figure out what the hell is going on’.
If the government had come out and said ‘We are doing
A
B
C
to vet Muslims’ they could have shut Trump down.
But no. They are so used to getting stuff through by shouting ‘racist’ & ‘knuckle-dragger’ that they thought it would work again.
Sooner or later the public ‘gets it’ and this is another instance.
JawsV says
I don’t know what the fuss is all about. I realized 10 years ago that we couldn’t let in Muslims and their Jihad ideology. It’s obvious! And it can’t be “temporary” it has to be permanent as a Muslim can become a Jihadist at any time. Vetting Muslims is impossible. They are all potential Jihadists now or in the future.
CogitoErgoSum says
As Trump has said, the United States needs to take the lead in showing the world how to deal with Islam. This religion should not be allowed to grow any larger than it already has. I suggest that the way to do that would be to use the rules of Islam against itself just as the terrorists are so fond of using our own laws and our own technology against us.
So I say, yes, go ahead and place a ban on Muslim immigration and use that time to find out just what is going on with Islam. It should not take all that long. How do Muslims deal with other religions they want to suppress or to control? Study their methods and learn. Then take that knowledge and use it to do unto Islam as Islam would do unto us, the “infidels.”
Keep in mind that when Pharaoh decreed that the first-born of the Hebrews should be killed, God took those words and used them against the Egyptians. Jesus said that as you judge so shall you be judged.
I say as Islam judges, so should Islam be judged.
Does anyone have a better idea … any idea at all?
eduardo odraude says
We need many more people to become public, non-anonymous Islam critics and educators. If we want to win, the majority of the population must be convinced that containment of Islam is a matter of vital importance to the survival of civilized, open societies with freedom of speech and conscience. We need a hundred Robert Spencers, or ten thousand public, outspoken Islam-critics of ordinary stature would do. We need people who criticize Islam in a balanced, civil, factual way, without internet anonymity. Too many public figures are self-censoring on the subject of Islam in fear of violent Muslims on the one hand and in fear of being publicly tarred as a bigoted, racist, moron on the other hand. That self-censorship by many many public figures and ordinary people is ceding the debate to the other side. That leaves the society defenseless over time.
A good book on the art of persuasion when it comes to educating people about the totalitarian character of Islam is Getting Through, which one can get on Amazon. It’s not enough to have the facts. One must know the most effective ways to reach people with them.
Demsci says
I do have a far fetched idea. But not to the exclusion of staying very vigilant and a “control is better than trust” attitude. So that must always remain.
The key point is Opposition To Islam. Sorry for the obvious, but now I mean something more than only the negative way of Opposition through Diminishing the Power of Opponents (ODPO) (which must also go on!).
No, I mean,if we really don’t know how we can defeat Islam, Muslims and their multiple allies, and at the same time remain Democratic I think we should try to go the way of Opposition by Promotion of a Positive Alternative (OPPA).
Look: I. Islam is incredibly strong, with it’s 1.6 billion followers + 56 nations. II. Incredibly it has all these de facto allies and supporters or at least bystanders among us, infidels, up to and including majorities of citizens, the “enemedia”, the PC politicians.
Thanks to Robert Spencer and Tom Holland not only do we now know what Islam is like, but also how it came about, and it came about in a political process of hundreds of years, not in that ridiculously short period of 610 to 632! It was forged by Caliphs (esp, Abd Al Malik, 685-705), because there was a political need or wish for it. BUT … Eventually Islam became mega-succesfull!
Now, when Opponents take the strong points of Islam, such as the centrality of Most Important Guiding Texts and the concept of an Ummah, and EMULATE that, that right there would be a start of …. The Democratic Positive Alternative To Islam (Dempati).
Dempati’s central texts could be constitutions, enlightenment-tenets, new great tenets.
Dempati could model itself on Islam’s tenets, only with this time their democratic opposite, portrayed as an alternative for Islam.
For instance; In Islam is deathpenalty for apostasy; Dempati’s positive alternative; freedom of religion.
In Islam is discrimination against women and infidels, Dempati’s pos. alt.: Equal rights for all under the law.
Islam wants to subjugate the world; Dempati’s pos. alt.: Let the people themselves decide.
And so on. As long as a big and growing group IS really in opposition to these anti-democratic horrible tenets of Islam, opponents can find the opposite positive tenets in a broad democratic context.
And augment that with the search for happiness and practice of positive psychology, which is popular right now and which can provide the spiritual component to the Positive Alternative To Islam.
And opponents can now aim to attract more and more Muslims themselves, to defect to the other side, with an alternative for Islam and it’s holy book and ummah, instead of only infidels telling them to ditch Islam, it’s spiritual promises and community.
Negative opponents of Islam can join the ex-Muslims in Dempati en become positive opponents or the groups can stay as they are but allie on key points.
Fence-sitters who feel sorry for Islam, can now focus on a better alternative to it, which is quite reasonable, yet profound and join or support it’s organisation(s).
Furthermore, a positive alternative to Islam-group could tactically avoid the criticism, or much opposed perceived hatespeech, because it can declare respect for Islam and Muslims, while still promoting a better alternative. In this way the group would be immune to the ever-present (untrue) objections of “painting Muslims with one brush” and “hatespeech by bigots and racist”.
So, OPPA; Opposition by Promotion a (viable) Positive Alternative, perhaps called the Democratic Positive Alternative To Islam! Is my idea.
Debi Brand says
I sure as heck hope he is not back flipping away from this again.
As recent as this past Saturday, he was standing strong on the issue–in fact, not only asserting his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering our nation, but stating with respect to it, “at least” a temporary ban until we can, he stated, figure out how to deal with the threat.
He even added to that, that profiling those commonly known to wish and thus do us harm we should definitely consider.
For such reasons, I “hooahed” him big time.
Then came Monday. And he fired Cory, then came Tuesday, and he gave his speech on top issues he aimed to address in his first 100 days.
No mention therein of the Muslim ban. Only speech of helping “peace-loving” Muslims.
KnowThyEnemy says
The horse is already out of the barn. Trump already spoke of banning Muslims from entering the US, even if temporarily! Now the onus is on us. We need to vote for him and let everyone know that we voted for him because he talked about banning Muslims from US and because he said “Islam hate us”!
This way the future Republican candidates will know exactly what issue to stress on to successfully compete with other Republican candidates. This is true both for the future presidential and congressional elections.
It does not matter if Trump reneges on his promise. If he does, we simply will not vote for him in the next election and will instead vote for someone more honest!
Lesley says
Exactly… Trump may not be everyone’s perfect candidate, but he is the best champion for our country and way of life.
Vote Trump, and tell others you support him.
In my experience, prefacing my declaration of support with a bit of self deprecation like, ‘you can call me crazy, but I actually favor Trump’ is an ice breaker and a non-threatening way to share why I do.
I wish Trump had supported Pamela Gellar at the time of the Draw Muhammad cartoon contest, and I still think he’s our best bet for a survivable future against Islam.
Whether you love his personality or not, he’s the only one who has the gumption to change the course our country is on and put the interests and safety of America first.

A majority of Americans now favor a permanent ban on all Muslims. We won’t come right out and say it ut a lot of us are sick and tired of pain in the butt Muslims who always wants special rights and have no intention of assimilating into host nations.

@duh swami: I’m not sure, but my best guess is that flooding the West with Muslims is a distraction tactic being used by the globalist agenda.

America has become very much golden with Islam soon after President Ronald Wilson Reagan came to the Oval Office.
Before President Reagan became commander-in-chief, American people never heard of CAIR (America-Islam Relationship Council) and American people have not seen so many mosques in American cities.
President Reagan gave amnesty to all Muslims living illegally inside America who — after naturalization — started to bring in millions of foreign-born Muslims via chain immigration system of America.

Really, you americans are so lucky not being flooded by islamist refugees like us in Europe, Germany, France and the Netherlands. I am really concerned about a third strike like the one on Brussels and Paris. I myself am part of a gay couple and live together with my Dutch friend for about six years now. How much longer can we be safe? I saw the headlines in focus.de telling the story about 3000 salafist muslims who entered Germany from Chechenya. Those are the kind of islamists that would blow up any gay festival. Or kill anyone who changed their faith. Or – as happens almost daily in Germany and the Netherlands – rape and prostitute girls – our girls! Quite often, underaged girls. The media are hushed and silenced – it is often regarded an offence to write about this in the context of islam in the Netherlands. Police will come to your house here when you oppose the location of refugees in your own town.
Personally, I believe that mr Trump is an absolute asshole but he has been proven right in everything he said about us being run over by the aggressive islam culture. America would be better off closing their borders in my opinion.
Steve Klein says
For those who are interested. It looks like there is going to be another attempt (amendment) to remove language in our national party platform (Bush put it in there August 2004) calling on Israel to retreat from Jewish land and establish a Muslim state in Israel’s heartland. It will be interesting (at least to me) to see how Trump and his people respond to this attempt. Will he, like Mitt Romney, try to defeat such an amendment?

Trump visits Scotland tomorrow, so we can expect plenty media attention which is likely to be very predictable, but maybe something interesting will pop up.
The EU referendum result should be in too, so that will occupy most of the headlines but it might also allow Mr T to make some points without the usual brouhaha. The mainstream here really can’t handle him, even to contemplate the Donald as president, is freaking them out.

“Majority of Americans now favor Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim immigration” Not me……I favor a permanent ban.
Islamorefugee says
It is not about a man’s words for that. It is all about a truth. A long awaited truth that remained only uncluttered while it was all before our eyes,happening day in and day out …over the whole period of its history.
The greatness of Mr. Donald Trump, despite his so many limitations as has been tirelessly trumpeted by his adversaries , is that he has shown the rare courage of pointing towards the true historical evil of all times and all nations : I..S.L.A.M .
We ,the sufferes ,have been looking for such a brave MAN who will come out one day to place islam where it truly belongs : the gutter of history .
This man has the courage : ask any one other than the main stream news merchants engaged in , what the sufferers say: ‘ presstitution’ for their paymasters ( the sheikhs, we doubt .) . If for no other qualities befitting to a president of the great Republic ,Mr. Trump should be chosen as the President, for his courage to point towards islam and its captive ‘believer’ criminals as the scourge of all nations . He has opened up a historical truth in a public domain, which an overwhelming majority of professional politicians will cower even to think of ( again,the sheikhs have purchased them along with Boeing’s ,Mercedes, BMW and so many other things from the West ,as they do )
We , though from geographically distant India , are mentally and morally so close to the democratic and patriotic spirit of the USA that it pains us when we see the nation suffer ,and that too for reasons of its tolerance ,acceptance , fairness to all . The wretched Muslim immigants from all over the world have gone there for good life and security from the violent hands of their own people. But their ‘prophet’s has thought them never to be grateful to anybody . That vile teaching persists and it is islam.
Enough is enough You wanted to better their their plight but the muslims have proved that they do not deserve your kind favour. They now want you to surrender to their vile ‘religion’s and coerce you to take their law and culture ,equally vile. So , enough is enough .
It is time to knock them down and drive out from the great Republic.
And you have that strength (before it is late)

This, almost 15 years after 9/11, demonstrates the power of a dedicated effort to conceal the truth (propaganda) by government and a complicit media, who have aggressively and with disturbing success, done and continue to do, their very best to conceal the truth. The truth, which flies in the face of their preferred narrative that Islam is a religion of peace and Barry Soetoro’s assertion that this nation will never be at war with Islam.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/full-text-of-president-obamas-2014-address-to-the-united-nations-general-assembly/2014/09/24/88889e46-43f4-11e4-b437-1a7368204804_story.html
This is either the wishful thinking of an intellectual idealist or the deliberate obfuscation, taqiyya, of a dedicated, Muslim, stealth Jihadist. The latter becoming increasingly more likely given the number of Muslim Brotherhood operatives actively participating in positions of influence within Soetoro’s administration.
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=844
And, perhaps even more disturbing is the question, who will be to a President Hillary what Valerie Jarrett is to Barry Soetoro? Huma Abedin?

R Cole says
I think Trump is wise to modify the language – and frame the ‘Muslim ban’ on blocking immigration from those countries which are hostile to the US.
The vast majority of those convicted or have taken part in terrorist related activities – have either been immigrants to the US or were the children of immigrants.
These are damning statistics.
::
Every Accommodation
The Left turn everything into a battle between racism and anti-racism – including their unquestioning support for Islam. But ironically what is driving Muslims to migrate to non-Muslim areas – and what is the cause of their countries’ instability – is supremacy based on religious belief.
However with fleeing Muslims comes this same poisonous ideology. And in the west it shows itself in a number of ways – despite all the opportunity Muslim migrants are granted and all the religious freedom they enjoy – mosques can be built and freely attended – there is still their overarching desire to see sharia law implemented and enforced at the state level. More, the reluctance of the host nation to adopt Islamic theocratic laws – is perceived as an attack or an affront to Islam, thereby making all others in this regard – enemies of Islam.
That Islamic law is openly ignored, sometimes maligned and rebuffed – has to be punished or fought against – and that can manifest itself as terrorism. Of which is carried out from a position of authority or supremacy – they believe is granted by adherence to Islam. [You simply cannot so callously kill huge numbers of people and yourself – otherwise!]
Sadly in the Left’s simplistic view – which claims to stand with Islam – solely based on their anti-racism position – they unwittingly embrace the antithesis of western values and norms – in Muslim supremacist belief. In this sense the Left become a tool – for theocratic Muslims and Muslims who would be terrorists – by willingly hounding out and demonizing all who Muslims – feel they or Islam suffer injury by.
In Europe, parts of the US, and in Australia it is not simply that Muslims are not integrating – it is that they wish to live under an entirely different system of laws and norms. The more Muslims – the greater the pressure on wider society to conform – to Islamic norms. Such that it is not a matter of offering a few accommodations – these unique immigrants want it all – unreasonably they want every accommodation. And if we look at the Islamic world – we can’t hold out much hope – with the widespread persecution of Christians and other religious minorities – the Islamic world will arrive at a moderate norm – anytime within the next 100 years.
::
The Politics of Kumbaya
Under Obama the number of Muslim migrants has sharply risen – it is prudent that there could be at least a pause or a break in the coming years.
Conversely the Left could help in making Muslims honest – but at the moment confined by their own rhetoric – that looks unlikely.
With only 24% identifying as liberal in the US – the US being a prime target for Islamic terrorism – many others will see the stakes as being too high. Singing Kumbaya and All We Need is Love – won’t solve this one!!
Peter says
The greatest idiot of all who ever became president was Ron Regan .The Russians had subdued the muslims in Afghanistan .
