You would think this would be an easy conspiracy theory to reject: the bigoted accusation that 3.3 million American Muslims are identifying and shielding terrorists in their midst.
The ACLU says Trump's proposals on counterterrorism, border security, and women’s rights would routinely violate the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments.
The worst thing that could be done would be to give ISIS what it says it wants: polarization and communal hatred.
British Prime Minister David Cameron refused to apologize for describing as "divisive, stupid and wrong" Donald Trump's proposed ban on Muslims traveling to the U.S.
Leading white nationalist Richard Spencer said undocumented immigrants, even if they grew up in the U.S., "can go home again, they can connect with their real identity."
Trump's rhetoric has roots in far-right conspiracy theories that hold that Islam itself is an enemy of the U.S. — and has tentacles at every level of government.

The Democrats' chief goal – to block those on the federal government’s terrorist watch list from buying guns – is opposed by some of their traditional allies.
This is not a paywall.
