'Enough is enough' Numerous calls for Muslims to be banned

Numerous professionals have come forward demanding a ban on Muslims from entering multiple European countries, including the UK, after two terrorist attacks have happened in the last week (Paris and London), saying that public safety should not be diminished for the sake of multiculturalism.

Would you agree with a Muslim ban in the UK and other European countries would be acceptable to protect public safety? Perhaps similar to what Denmark has done (6 year Muslim immigration ban)

"Numerous professionals"

Who? Where? Sources? Evidence? Or supposition and speculation?

We'd better stop accepting refugees. I agree on that.

BUT we shouldn't 'ban' all Muslims ESPECIALLY skilled workers !

Terrorism is not an actual threat for Western nations, the fear they create is.
When people are willing to substitute reason with fear ,things can be truly terrifying!
Every time I hear something about a terror attack I freak out... not because of the few people that died but because of the reaction of the masses!

Instead of numerous professionals s/he should have said 'Some'

"The man believed to have carried out the attack in Westminster has been named by police as Khalid Masood.
Kent-born Masood, who died in the attack, was not the subject of any current police investigations, but had a range of previous convictions."

No. Refugees are often in dire situations, so we cannot not help. Terrorists win when people cower in fear, despite their extremely low impact on unnatural death statistics.

Screening people is fine, but banning based upon non-extreme views or their dire need is wrong.
Shouldn't all white Christians who are quite obviously KKK followers get banned too? *drippingWithSarcasm*

Just because a few physcotic people choose to associate with a certain religion, a certain sect of belief, a certain anything, it doesn't mean that the majority who peacefully live their lives should be incarcerated and punished as well. If EVERY SINGLE Muslim was an extremist, a terrorist in hiding, then surely nobody would be safe. No street would be safe. There would be CONSTANT bombings, terror attacks, etc. Every neighbour would have turned against each other by now. There would be riots and the whole world would be in a state of war. However, many Muslims choose to live thei own lives their own way and in harmony with those who surround them whether they are Muslim or not.

So stop with stupid comments that are extremely racist and frankly causing hate and bigotry. As if there isn't enough of that as there is. Look at the bigger picture.

Ban all muslims, and lock up all home grown extremists.
Close the mosques as well.

Islam breeds extremism. Ban them.

The difference being that the KKK hasn't killed anyone for years, is dwindling rapidly and hasn't created its own 'state' where it kills homosexuals, non-believers and political opponents.

If its so numerous, then feel free to link us up to where otherwise people will think you made it up. You didnt did you?

Both attackers were born in their respective countries.

Your muslim ban would have had zero effect.

I hate the liberal left, they are the scum who have ruined Europe. Wait until Marine Le Pen comes into France, you will see the rise of the Far Right in Europe.

KKK aren't the only Christianity-based terrorists.

Yes but every terrorist is a muslim, so if you ban muslims, you will have no terrorists.

Extremism should not be banned, otherwise we're surrounding ourselves in an "intellectual" bubble of ignorance, said bubble that many people childishly embrace, where we're surrounded by yes-men, and we're locked into a specific style of thought. Does that sound like an attractive proposition?

Why should we stop taking refugees? We take very few as it is compared to our size. We have a legal obligation to consider asylum claims made to us. If we withdraw from that, then we will be one of the few countries who will not and that will diminish our diplomatic influence and soft power abroad.
