united states, but it s nothing like what they re facing in europe. the one element that has made this country sort of an unradicalized country is its assimilation and an acceptance of others, including immigrant communities through our history. and so there is a consequence for us to say we re going to close our door to a particular group of people and, oh, by the way, they happen to be muslim, it helps the right wing in europe and we certainly don t want them to rise because that s not going to be good for a long-term effort to fight isis. and it gives a sentiment or a statement to isis that we are what they what they think we are. so from the security perspective, i m thinking long-term. i know we re all sort of nervous about what s going on. but thinking taking the long view here, the one thing that makes america safe is the fact that we do assimilate these communities. we don t go to war with them. compare that to france and europe, which have really a truly homegrown problem.
that s what they want us to do. they re recruiting from american arab populations that are filing misanthropic in the united states. we need to remind people we are the city on the hill, we are about rujus freedom, that the words of thomas jefferson and others mean something. this is a strong argument. no one is saying that people should percent cute muslim necessary this country. by the way, a lot of people that go to join the islamic state do so because they believe in the ideology donald trump just said that. he was going to well, he s leading the donald trump is leading the republican party right now. donald trump said there should be some mosque surveillance, which is broader than i think he should have said but there are people saying we should percent cute muslims. let s not what trump said is saying we should percent cute all muslim necessary this country. there is a serious threat that comes from within of islam
mr. bring kley, we just heard fm muslims in the united states. just think of world war ii when we had anti-japanese sentiments or had interrment camps with fdr. at times of war, we are at war with isis now, people will tend to overreact and be cautious about homeland security. so i think this is going to be a big issue on the campaign trail. how can we be a democratic country that embraces the muslim faith, but doesn t allow more muslim immigrants into the united states at this moment in time? buck, you know, this morning on msnbc, donald trump said the u.s. must resume heavy surveillance of mosques and as president he would consider shut undown some mosques. i would hate to do it, but it s something you re going to have to strongly consider because some of the ideas and
this terror attack. there are huge holes in fsa security, as we know. could they do that? yeah, they could do that. i mean, now we are seeing a whole new playing field with isis that is entering a second phase in its attack against country. there was lebanon, obviously the russian plane and now france with attack that as the french president said that were planned in syria, organized in belgium and carried out in france with the help of french citizens. so we re seeing a whole transnational threat that is, indeed, relying on home grown terrorism but is pollen pollen plentyfied. let s listen in to president obama. we ve seen the possibility of terrorist attacks on our soil. there was the boston marathon
the country are focusing on, they don t spend a lot of time focussing on presbyteriapresbyt. but you tend to have more of these planned in mosques more than you re talking about the brits or the uk, that s quite different than the united states where we have freedom of religion. absolutely. but i m saying they re trying to find ways to deal with the mosques that is the hot bed of radicalism. in some places in the uk, they advocate overthrowing the government. people come to claim asylum and this has nothing to do with my question about donald trump saying well, there are policy options that people have to consider for dealing with rad cammism when it centers around a certain location. there have been instances in this country of serious terror plots that were largely centered around certain mosques. doug, do you want to get in on this? yeah. look, we re not going to starting targeting mosques in the united states. we re not going to shut down deerborn, michigan.
