Yeah no shit @Michael.Lederman. We’re not dumb. He proposed banning Muslims because he knew it would be popular with all the people who are afraid of them. He reiterated that it was a religious ban multiple times. He even said that he’d give a special exception to the Mayor of London which further underscored that it was a religious ban.
He changed his position as people pointed out it was pretty racist to something that has largely the same effect, but doesn’t sound as racist.
