A
new poll suggests that large majorities of Americans agree with the common
sense proposition that we should stop importing jihadists. A murderous attack
in Orlando heightened concern that we already have too many here.
This
online survey by Opinion Savvy found that 71% of respondents support “identifying
foreign supporters of Sharia law prior to their admission to the United States.”
Of those favoring such identification, 80% believe Sharia-supremacists should
not be admitted into the country.
Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump put this issue on the political map last
year by calling for a temporary pause in admissions of Muslims until a way can
be found to determine whether they’re potential terrorists. In recent days, he has suggested applying
that restriction to would-be immigrants from certain countries.
Newt
Gingrich argues the defining test should instead be adherence to Sharia. He’s
right.
