People have been comparing Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler, and this comparison is becoming more believable. Many Republicans are making statements that seem more and more like what happened during World War II. It was not just in Europe that people of certain races, religions, sexual orientations, ethnicities, etc. were persecuted. In the U.S. Japanese Americans were put into prison camps and their belongings were taken away. They were not killed, but they were persecuted because of their ethnicity. Many Japanese American were compensated for their losses, but it was too little, too late. Not allowing people to come into this country because of their religion goes against the concept of freedom of religion. I know that not all Christians are anti Muslim, just as just a very small portion of Muslims are terrorists. Some of the worst acts of terrorism in this country were not carried by Muslims. Remember Timothy McVeigh? As I have said before, too many people confuse freedom of religion with the right to discriminate and hate.
