A CNN host called President Trump a man baby and a piece of excrement. (He used a more profane term, and later apologized.) A guest on Fox & Friends proposed that Muslims in the United Kingdom be placed in internment camps, prompting an on-air disavowal from the hosts.

How would it work?
Islam is a religion. It's not a race. I can be a Jew in the morning, a Muslim in the afternoon, and a Christian in the evening. How would they identify them?

(16,079 posts)Well they would conduct the initial round ups at Mosques and places where those of the Islamic faith are known to frequent! Then they would go house to house, based on rental agreements and mortgage documents, and finally they would just round up anyone who may have a name that "sounds" Muslim, or who may "look" Muslim!
And finally, neighbors will report those suspected of being Muslim, for a reward of course!!!
If in the process they catch non-Islamic practitioners, it would be up to those people to prove who they are!!!

(18,124 posts)facial features and then progress to all with melanin in their skin, then things will progress. Bannon, miller, pence and the 'inner circle' of nazi fascists/racists would like nothing better than to have their own Dachau, Auschwitz for all not compliant and unwilling to cow to the white male KKKristians now running this country and running amok in the streets and dales at large...... Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld had their 'dark sites' around the world, Patriot Act,....... It IS NOT beyond the pale to surmise. It happened before, it will happen again.........to borrow a line from a favorite movie...this time the 'slaves' of every culture/race under duress will fight back in a big way, I think, hope.
This regime can have their pick from among the "cream of the crop" with the 18% base of despicable deplorables who will happily be the guards at these camps. The new bannon SS if you will. Aww fuck it, they will do as they please for the next 4 years and it's beginning to be an uphill fight for the decent people in government and general society. have a very foreboding feeling, a violent storm is coming __but that's just me__. Dreams and dreams last night....centered around my worries of where this country and it's citizens are heading....bodies stacked in the streets is one dream scene that stands out....
