Some Jews and Muslims actually defend Donald Trump

I don't think you understand the principle case in this debate, allow me to enlighten you. When you have a potential president of the US proclaiming his open disapproval of the border with Mexicans, that exacerbates the lack of social cohesion in society. There is already very tight immigration controls, on practice he is legitimising people's racist sentiment on a macro scale. This then results in micro-level hate crimes ACROSS the United States, within such offences- you get racist language thrown at Mexicans, racist attacks, trickling down into the education system where it happens with school children. This is a serious harm.
Regarding the second point, I know Islam is not a race but a religion. Yet in a world of postcolonialism where the discourse of Orientalism is becoming far more prevalent, most people unfortunately fall under the media stereotyping of them as such. Islam is not a problem in the 21st century, it is radical extremists which are a different issue. It is the same with Christianity, and how you can get christian fundamentalists etc. Trump's ideology is to promote the clash of civilisations between the West and the East, which in turn facilitates an increased volume of Occidentalism. The way to defeat extremism is through education, not through Trump's solutions which are not rational.
Furthermore, regarding a previous point, these concerns you highlight such as fears over immigration are ALSO felt by intellectual individuals in society, we don't disagree with the problems that exist in society. The arguments differ in emphasis however when it comes to how to solve them, my point on he panders towards emotional sentiment means that it results in absurd propositions being put forward. This prevents more rational strategies being adopted, I.E. if the public choose only to listen to Trump then other measures cannot be implemented.

Tight immigration controls? Then how is it that the most conservative estimates put the figure at 10 million illegal Mexican immigrants in the US? The border is practically open in some places, it's laughable. Have you ever actually been to the any of the border states?

If that happens - and I'm not convinced it is - then the issue is the people saying/doing the racist things, not the person trying to control the border.

I agree, religious extremism of all forms is incredibly dangerous. The difference is, every other religion has modernised. Christian extremism is limited to some backwaters in the southern states of the US and in some pockets of Africa, where Jewish extremism is more or less contained to the West Bank. On the other hand, Islam shows no signs of modernising. We can argue 'till kingdom come (if you'll excuse the pun) about translations of the Qu'ran and Hadith, but there is no disputing some rather reprehensible facts. For instance, most scholars agree that the Qu'ran and Hadiths say that apostates should face the death penalty, as should any takfiri within a wider range of 'crimes'. It also unequivocally endorses the slave trade and sex slave trade, and that is but the tip of an iceberg of things that Sharia Law allows but we consider barbaric in the 21st century Western world.

More to the point, the nature of Islamic doctrine is that it cannot be modernised. Islam teaches that the Qu'ran and Hadiths are Allah's word, in its purest and most true form. What this means is that no Muslims can contradict their teachings with being guilty of takfir. For instance, no Muslim can say 'slavery is unequivocally wrong', else they would be saying that Allah was wrong.

WIth regards immigration, that is most certainly not what the elite do. What they instead do is brand you a racist, or a xenophobe, or whatever other buzzword is flavour of the month. Remember that poster that UKIP ran just before the referendum, the 'Breaking Point' one? That was branded racist. And yet, I would challenge anyone to explain how that poster conveys the opinion that arab people are fundamentally inferior to any other race. Because it doesn't. What it does is draw attention to uncontrolled migration from the Middle East, and as a result of doing so it gets accused of racism.

No, the argument you've made on religious extremism implies that the entire Muslim community could revert to radical Islam, but they don't. Even if we took your argument at its best, and said that all Muslims cannot change the religious scripture, why is it that you only have a small proportion of the Muslim community practising extremism. Secondly, if it was so binding, why do you have individuals, particularly amongst the youth openly not following religious teachings- we begin to see a trend towards 'Brasian' etc when individuals that are Muslim choose to live a more liberal life. There is no theological justification for extremism based on scripture, instead it is when people like you who blame the religion rather than the fanatics who preach the radicalised version, which make less intellectually able individuals espouse the Orientalist discourse shared by many in society. In turn this supports terrorists who are trying to demonstrate that fundamentalism is a response to modernity and globalisation, and a form of cultural defence with the West poised to take over religious traditions.
On the point about the wall, there are far more rational measures that can be taken than the presidential candidate in the US openly proclaiming his own bigot stance on the matter. Illegal immigrants can enter the country not just from Mexico's border + the harm it would have on US's international relations would be severe. Mexico is a rapidly economically developing country, working with that government is a far more effective method.

Of course Jews and Muslims support Trump. It doesn't take a genius to see why an increase in mass muslim immigration would be bad for Jews, hence the amount that have been forced to leave France for Israel in the past few years.

Plus if you believe not all muslims are violent thugs and goat herders then it shouldn't be hard to understand that the civilised ones want to keep those people out.

The real racism/bigotry is assuming everyone has to believe and vote for the same thing as everyone else that shares the same race/religion.

A small minority of them supporting him =/ Jews and Muslims support Trump. Your mentality only reinforces what I was saying earlier about the ignorance of Trump supporters.

Of course not all of them are going to believe the same thing, but when a candidate is blatantly bigoted towards a certain group, it's hardly rocket science that the majority of them are not going to support him.

Not everyone shares the view that he is "blatantly bigoted" towards a group. Some are capable of independent thought.

No, because some share his views. Of course you can't see what's wrong with someone if you are just like him. However, bigotry is not subjective, it has a definition.

The one i found was "intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself. "
Do you have a direct quote from Trump which shows him as such?

If wanting to ban people from the USA because they are Muslims and dehumanising Mexicans as "rapists" and "criminals" does not fall under that definition, I don't know what does.

Labels like bigotry adhere to intention of action rather than the action themselves. The banning of muslims is to curb terrorism and he specifically referred to illegal immigrant Mexicans, not Mexicans as a whole. 80% of Central-American women who cross the border are raped by Mexicans. I think that figure justifies the comment.

I'll even use no doubt your favourite news outlet to source it for you. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/12/central-america-migrants-rape_n_5806972.html

Yeah, the country with one of the biggest problems with gun violence (mostly carried out by White Christian men) is so scared of 2% of it's population, which generally has a low crime rate compared to other within the country. If he was so concerned for America's safety, he would be addressing the issue of gun control. As it is, he is completely against the latter issue and instead focuses on Muslims as the primary cause of danger, wonder why....

He could have mentioned illegal immigrants and made a clear distinction, why alienate an entire demographic and paint them as criminals?

Perhaps you would like to account for differences in population demographics before you smear a whole race. Japanese people for example, murder and rape a near infinite amount more than any other demographic in Japan, because they are the majority. So that doesn't tell you anything about the nature of that group of people.

A major terrorist attack can be carried out by a very small number of people. It only took 5 for 9/11 to happen. So 2% is not a negligible amount unfortunately as that is still a few million people. I'd like to see a source for your claim that muslims have a low comparative crime rate in usa if you will.

Let's be honest, it is really easy to get a gun in most western countries regardless of gun laws. Strict gun laws didn't prevent the shooting in the Bataclan and if it did they would just use explosives instead. The hardest part of the situation is not acquiring a weapon, but convincing someone to massacre dozens of people. Furthermore, all oppressive regimes started by disarming the population, even the Nazis did that, and I'm sure most logical people can see that slimeballs like Obama and Clinton are not above oppressing the nation.
