Trump: 'Absolutely no choice' but to close mosques POLITICO
The United States will have "absolutely no choice" but to close down some mosques where
"some bad things are happening," Donald Trump said in a recent interview, explaining his
rationale for doing so.
"Nobody wants to say this and nobody wants to shut down religious institutions or
anything, but you know, you understand it. A lot of people understand it. We’re going to
have no choice," the Republican presidential said in an interview from Trump Tower on Fox
News' "Hannity" on Tuesday night.
Those remarks go further than Trump did on Monday, when he said he would "strongly
consider" closing mosques as part of a response to last Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris that
killed more than 130 and injured hundreds more.
Asked to explain his shifting position by Sean Hannity, Trump remarked that things are
"happening a lot faster than anybody understands."
"There’s absolutely no choice. Some really bad things are happening and they're happening
fast," he said, taking a dig at President Barack Obama's response to the attacks. "Certainly a
lot faster than our president understands because he doesn't understand anything. He
doesn't get it. Refuses to even call it by its correct name," which Trump termed "radical
Islam."
In terms of the refugee situation, Trump said he had "a feeling that a lot of bad things will
happen out of this."

"But yet we take everybody. We don't know where they come from, we don't know what
their crime record is. It could be wonderful. It could be a disaster," he speculated, again
pledging that if he wins the presidency, "they're going out."
"We can't take a chance. You know, if you take thousands of people, and again I hear it's
going to be many more than what you're talking about right now. But if you take thousands
of people, Sean, all you need is a couple. You know, you don't need 25, you don't need 100,"
he said. "Look at the damage done in Paris with just a few people."
Trump repeatedly reiterated his desire to "blast the hell out of" ISIL targets and "bomb the
hell out of" the terrorist group's oil resources.

"Now they're just starting to do that, but they're two years late," Trump said. "Interestingly
after Paris, all of a sudden they start bombing sites that they knew about for a year and a
half. But they started bombing them after the tragic events of Paris. So, so many things are
wrong. We need leadership in the world now. You know, it's really a worldwide leadership,
but boy, do we need leadership in our country."
