Human rights.
I understand your thought experiment, but this is what both sides do that drives everyone insane. They use bad examples and deliberately provocative rhetoric to score points. But there's no scoreboard. There are only problems that need to be solved.
And Donald Trump doesn't have an argument. He appeals to the easily-tricked, fearful white person. There's no fact-based argument to be made for banning all Muslims from entering the United States in response to San Bernadino.
