Naples residents react to Trump comments about M

<p>Donald Trump wants<a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration" target="_blank">&nbsp;to stop Muslim immigration</a>&nbsp;into the U.S. until &quot;representatives can figure out what is going on.&quot; Meanwhile, we&#39;re trying to figure out what&#39;s going on with Trump&#39;s sources.</p><p>For starters, Trump&#39;s website says<a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/07/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/" target="_blank">&nbsp;Pew Research</a>&nbsp;supports his claim that many Muslims hate Americans. Only problem,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration" target="_blank">he didn&#39;t link to this information</a>&nbsp;and the most recent data Pew published on Islam doesn&#39;t support that at all. (Video<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAlddz2mfg0" target="_blank">&nbsp;via Fox News</a>)</p><p>Monday, Pew published key findings about Muslim American&#39;s throughout the years.&nbsp;<a href=" Muslim Americans are more likely than Muslims in many other nations to have many non-Muslim friends." target="_blank">One finding is</a>&nbsp;that Muslim American&#39;s are more likely than Muslim&#39;s worldwide to have non-Muslim friends.&nbsp;</p><p>Trump actually linked&nbsp;<a href="https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/06/23/nationwide-poll-of-us-muslims-shows-thousands-support-shariah-jihad/" target="_blank">to the Center for Security Policy</a>&nbsp;to support his claim. It concluded &quot;25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad.&quot; But that non-profit is a bit controversial to begin with.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/religion/report/2011/08/26/10165/fear-inc/" target="_blank">According to the Center for American Progress</a>&nbsp;it publishes &quot;a steady stream of reports mischaracterizing Islam and warnings about the dangers of Islam and American Muslims.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/06/23/nationwide-poll-of-us-muslims-shows-thousands-support-shariah-jihad/" target="_blank">The CSP poll was conducted online</a>&nbsp;using a survey. But the questions they ask are somewhat confusing since it doesn&#39;t ask about personal feelings and could be asking how others justify jihad, for example.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/07/donald-trumps-call-to-ban-muslims-from-coming-to-the-u-s-has-a-very-bad-poll-at-its-center/" target="_blank">The Washington Post notes&nbsp;</a>the survey conducted by CSP is of U.S. Muslims, so it didn&#39;t even poll the people Trump hopes to stop from immigrating into the country.</p><p>CSP&#39;s founder and president, Frank Gaffney, is known for his conspiracy theory that a Hilary Clinton staffer is an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/frank-gaffney-jr" target="_blank">Southern Poverty Law Center</a>&nbsp;lists Gaffney as an anti-Muslim extremist. (Video<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WEz0TIoUtc" target="_blank">&nbsp;via Fox News</a>)</p><p>In 2008, Gaffney made headlines again after claiming President Obama hadn&#39;t provided a birth certificate.&nbsp;<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trumps-history-raising-birther-questions-president-obama/story?id=33861832" target="_blank">Trump has also questioned</a>&nbsp;the legitimacy of Obama&#39;s U.S. residency.</p>
