Trump Calls For Ban of all Muslims in America

Donald Trump is running for president and is currently in first place in the Republican polls.  Trump is known for his outrageous statements and blunt racism.  At first I thought what he was saying was a joke and that nobody would actually respect him as a real candidate or take him seriously.  Somehow people are buying what he is saying and he is the Republican presidential front-runner.  Donald Trump is no longer a laughing mater, he has a legitimate chance of becoming the president of our country during the next election.  Donald Trump stating that he wants to ban all Muslims from the United States of America is not a joke.  Some famous Americans that people look at as role models are Muslim.  Muhammad Ali probably the most known boxer of all-time and arguably the greatest is Muslim.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the all-time leader in points scored in the NBA and most MVP awards in NBA history is Muslim.  They both are very critical of Donald Trump.  Speaking about ISIS Muhammad Ali said, "True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion".  Blaming an entire religion for the bad actions by an extremist groups that tries to justify their action by hiding behind religion is not what America should do, but Trump is doing that.  Banning an entire religion from our country, or building a wall is not what we should do, because these issues are deep and there is no easy solution.  It is not so cut and dry because if there was an easy solution I believe that we would have already figured it out and acted on it.
