I've seen him say vet the Muslim immigrants because they may be dangerous, a seemingly logical conclusion when the biggest opponent of the US is Muslim extremism as evidenced by the death of thousands of Americans. I'm not seeing the racism, I'm seeing a lot of claims of absolutes by Trumps detractors with not much support.

To clarify I don't support Trump but I'd like to know where these claims are coming from.

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," a campaign press release said.


Trump, who has previously called for surveillance against mosques and said he was open to establishing a database for all Muslims living in the U.S., made his latest controversial call in a news release. His message comes in the wake of a deadly mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, by suspected ISIS sympathizers and the day after President Barack Obama asked the country not to "turn against one another" out of fear.
Maybe not racist because it is all Muslims... but surveillance against all mosques, a national registry and requiring Muslims to wear identifying badges are pretty much on par with Nazi Germany. That's where these kind of claims come from.
