GOP candidate Donald Trump is known for making outlandish remarks, especially when it comes to race and religion in our country. Just this week, Trump said there should be a database that keeps track of Muslims within our country. “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases,” he told NBC News yesterday. “I would certainly implement that, absolutely.” During another interview, he said he would go to extreme measures to monitor those of Islamic faith, even if it means going as far as conducting searches without warrants. Read more.

Ben Carson Calls Syrian Refugees “Rabid Dogs”

Donald Trump isn’t the only GOP candidate who has been outspoken about Syrian refugees following the terror attacks in Paris; frontrunner Ben Carson recently shared his thoughts about the group as well. Carson compared the refugees to “rabid dogs.” “For instance, you know, if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably gonna put your children out of the way. Doesn’t mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. “Who are the people who wanna come in here and hurt us and wanna destroy us?
