You'd have to define exactly who you are at war with and how you plan on screening people using that definition. Trump's ideas are ridiculous, as are many of the posters on this site on this topic. If religion was some big defining criteria then Catholics would have been segregated and banned from immigration centuries ago.
I fully understand this situation. And I'll again ask the same question. What exactly has changed in US immigration policy the last 20-30 years ? Why are Trump and numerous posters on here claiming that it's an "open border" policy ? Is it not true that quite the opposite is true, that since 9/11 that US borders are more closed then ever ?
Governments cannot operate on emotion and bluster. Laws and policy have to be fairly designed and not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, skin colour. You cannot judge people based on the most evil factions of their group, and quite frankly many people are being grouped into groups they don't even belong to or believe in. It all gets pretty silly when Trump starts questioning the ability of the judge based on their parents birth place. How many on here would want their career or personal life judged on anything to do with their parents ?
On this shooting, the shooter absolutely hated gay people. I am reminded that occasionally abortion clinic's in the US have had incidents because highly religious ( supposedly Christian ) shooters hated the people at the clinics. The fact 50+ people died is more reflective of the high powered weapons that are easily accessed in the US these days.
How did this happen if bombs are illegal?

How in the hell did this happen? Aren't bombs illegal in London?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings
The
7 July 2005 London bombings, often referred to as
7/7, were a series of coordinated terrorist
suicide bomb attacks in
central London which targeted civilians using
the public transport system during the rush hour.
On the morning of Thursday, 7 July 2005, four
Islamist extremists separately detonated three bombs in quick succession aboard
London Underground trains across the city and, later, a fourth on a double-decker bus in
Tavistock Square. Fifty-two people were killed and over 700 more were injured in the attacks, Britain's worst terrorist incident since the 1988 bombing of
Pan Am Flight 103 over
Lockerbie, Scotland, as well as the country's first ever Islamist suicide attack.
