"Donald
Trump’s December 7 call for at least a temporary halt to all Muslim
immigration to the United States reinforced his position as the
presidential candidate most willing to ignore the stifling restrictions
limiting American political discourse to boundaries set by the Left.
His proposal also aligned Trump with the thinking of an enormous
segment of the American public … including and especially a large
majority of likely Republican primary voters.
But,
considering only what we know now about Islam as a unique source of
terror and about the attitudes towards that terror among all Muslim
communities, Trump’s proposal deserves a thorough and intellectually
honest public debate.
We
are long past the point where proposals to reduce or eliminate, at
least for a time, Muslim immigration to the West can be dismissed with
epithets such as “Islamophobia,” “xenophobia” or “bigotry.” Trump’s
proposal arises out of unpleasant but unavoidable facts two of which are
discussed above. Those presidential candidates, Republican or Democrat,
who dismiss that proposal with the usual invective drawn from the
Left’s phrase book are signaling their lack of either the analytical
ability or the courage to lead the West in its current struggle with
militant Islam."
