Trump calls for US Muslim database
Donald Trump’s support for a government database to track Muslims in the United States has drawn sharp rebukes from his Republican presidential bid rivals as they try to distance themselves from a proposal which legal experts say is unconstitutional.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s insistence that he saw Muslims cheering on 9/11 has drawn criticism for being inaccurate, and for politicizing an already emotional topic for Muslims in the U.S.in the wake of terror attacks in Paris on November 13.
Matt David, spokesman for the group planning the attack, a Super PAC called New Day for America, which is supporting Ohio Governor John Kasich’s presidential bid, said 10 new donors had pledged money in the two days since Politico reported Thursday evening the group’s plans to attack Trump in New Hampshire.
Trump took to Twitter Friday afternoon to say he “didn’t suggest a database-a reporter did”.
“If we want to examine people who are on terrorist watch lists and not let them buy a gun, I mean, it’s something that ought to be considered”, Kasich said.
“I want surveillance of these people and of certain mosques”, the front-running Trump said at a campaign event in Birmingham, Ala.
The video, posted on the Gateway Pundit, shows that the entire “Muslim registry” concept was the brainchild of a reporter and that Trump’s so-called agreement to the idea is based on trick editing.
But he also voiced support for additional surveillance, both of arriving refugees and certain mosques.
“I would bring it back, yes”.
“Trump is plain wrong, and he is shamefully politicizing an emotionally charged issue”, said Fulop.
“I would certainly implement that, absolutely”, he said in on-camera comments.
“I don’t want to close up mosques, but things have to happen where – you have got to use strong measures you’re going to see buildings coming down all over NY City and elsewhere”, he said.
Then, in a televised interview with an NBC reporter, he reiterated how keen he was on the plan.
The US House of representatives passed legislation this past week essentially barring Syrian and Iraqi refugees from the United States.
Trump has increasingly confronted Carson in recent weeks, highlighting media reports about his struggles to grasp foreign policy and difficulty documenting his stories of a violent youth. The libertarian Cato Institute’s Ilya Shapiro said the idea violates basic privacy and liberty rights. Trump and retired neurosurgeon Carson have stunned the political world with their rise to the top of a few polls in the crowded Republican nomination race.
On Sunday, Mr Trump was asked if he ruled out a database on all Muslims in the US.
“At a few point you’ve got to ask yourself: ‘Wait a minute – is that the kind of country that we are?’ ” Clinton asked.
