Keeping Muslims Out, By whatever Means

IF I'M A MUSLIM, and I want to enter a United States of America to which entry is forbidden me by order of President Donald J. Trump, I am very definitely going to place my check mark in the "non-Muslim" box. If necessary, I am going to proclaim myself a devout Christian, saved, a person who has given his life to Christ. Or maybe just a plain old atheist. that ought to do the trick. Why not? As they say: "whatever works". Then, upon entry, I can go right back to the true faith, my faith, Islam. We all practice the "true faith", do we not? So, precisely how, in the real world, does one go about identifying Muslims? Please bear in mind that religiosity is a state of mind, and that it is not a style of dress, or a particular mode of personal appearance or attire. The question is: why does nobody point this out other than some nobody on some nondescript website, like this one? We are at war with radical Islam! We must defend our country against potentially terroristic immigrants! To preclude immigration on the basis of religion is unconstitutional, and un-American, so go the arguments, pro and con, droning on...and on...whether to exclude, or to include, that is the question..but, other than here, you won't see or hear any American genius asking: "precisely how do you identify Muslims as they seek entry?" Quite simply, you don't, because you can't. What, you're gonna consult a data bank listing all one point five billion Muslims? You're going to identify them by the way they "look"? Like they're gonna come clean, right off the bat? None of the above. What you're going to do is conduct interviews, and what you're gonna get is a pack of lies, depending on just how badly any particular votary of the Islamic faith wishes admission. The rule of thumb is, most likely: the greater the intent to do harm to America, the more willing to disguise or hide religious affiliation. News flash: you can't tell a Muslim from a non Muslim according to what the person looks like or what a person tells you! Muslims, like Christians, Jews, or atheists, come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. They might be wearing dockers and khakis. They might have light or dark complexions. Beards? maybe, not not. Head scarves? I think I'd be willing to take mine off for a few minutes, and maybe even toss it in the trash, knowing that they are for sale on every street corner in America. And yes, perfectly intelligent, ostensibly, people have indeed suggested that you merely give people the once over, and eureka! You pick out the infidels, and turn them away! Has Mr. Trump offered any suggestions? Of course not. Whether excluding Muslims from America is a good idea is not the problem. The problem is, you can't, because there isn't any way to do it. But don't look to Donald J. Trump for an answer. Its hard to insult people merely by making constructive suggestions.
