Vetting Christians and Jews
Reader comment on item: Smoking Out Islamists via Extreme Vetting
Submitted by Eben (United States), Mar 11, 2017 at 13:36
Take a look at questions: 1,4,9,10,15,45,49,58,59,60,63,73,80,91.
If modified to address the beliefs of right-wing christians and jews, you'd get similarly disturbing answers to those of Islamists.
Shall we start vetting christian and jews who want to immigrate to the US?
Shall we start vetting citizens in the US?

Daniel Pipes replies:
Jews and Christians do not have a religious motivation to take over the world, so your comparison makes no sense. Maybe something like these questions could be asked of fascists and communists.
