I have been asked: How could I be comfortable with Trump's proposal to temporarily ban any new Muslim immigrants, while policy is reviewed? The Christian ideals of love and charity in no way mandate that the safety of U.S. citizens be compromised. God’s word gives to nations the right to self defense. The mainstreaming of Islam is undermining national security and may undermine the preservation of the U.S. Constitution and the Judeo-Christian foundation on which our freedoms have been based. As for Trump’s threat to kill the families of terrorists, I abhor the unnecessary harming of innocent lives. But I am convinced that the United States has the moral justification to use every means to fight terrorism.
