Donald Trump comments
Does Donald Trump want a registry for all Muslims? Or just some Muslims? Or no database at all?
The Republican presidential candidate’s comments on the topic have drawn a lot of criticism, with some pundits and commentators comparing it with the registration of Jews in in Nazi Germany. But Trump has said he didn’t propose such an idea -- a reporter did, and Trump just didn’t understand the question.
His comments and the media coverage of them have left us confused, so we did a deep dive into what exactly Trump said about registering Muslim people in a database.
After going through all of his comments from this past weekend, it seems that Trump definitely wants a database of Syrian refugees, and he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a database for all Muslims -- though he isn’t actively calling for the latter. [1]
Facebook's Muslim registry
Facebook has the data already; the company can provide a list of self-attested Muslims in the US simply by writing a query or two. [2]
