Well one could have a Religious Racist bias............. being a racist does not necessarily denote skin color as the word seems to infer per se, but I think discrimination would be a better word to use...........

The article emphasizes the idea that the people tracked would be mostly Muslims, leaving the reader who lacks discernment to infer that they would be tracked because of their religion. The reality, which is obvious, is that they would be tracked because their countries of origin are known as being the source of nearly all international terrorism.

Ethnicity - the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition - Oxford English Dictionary.

Having been a guest in many Jewish and Muslim homes in the USA and overseas, I can tell you that there are some specific and unique cultural differences from the "typical" American home. Those cultural differences are more pronounced among families that have fewer generations of the "American" experience. They also are greatly modified by the level of "orthodoxy" practiced by the family.

Although I have GREAT difficulty believing that those cultural differences have a direct or significant indirect causation relationship to activities against the interests of the United States.

This is true and I agree, but still have to ask the question.

Fair question but the vilification of every pick he makes will be counter productive. Not saying your are vilifying but it will start with every nominee (already has with Bannon).

No problem, if this guy is appointed as attorney general, we can just organize a bunch of violent protests and have people sign an internet petition saying that he shouldn't have been picked. That's the new way that federal decisions happen in the U.S., right?
