The internment of Japanese-Americans is one of the biggest stains on the US history. It was a deplorable act (and did not just involve Japanese citizens but American citizens - over 60% were American citizens).

An evil act that should never have moved past the bigoted head of whoever dreamed it up.

And subsequent investigations have found there was minimal at best and effectively no proof of disloyalty among Japanese Americans, and that the policy was the product of pure racism. Reparations were rightly paid by the US state to the tune of about $1.6bn

"It's almost like a moral decision. Except not really cos noone is going to find out," Jez, Peep Show

Even Trump has moved on from that statement after receiving a report that such a proposal is unworkable.

He was concerned at the time by the huge exodus from Syria and Daesh [probably untruthfully] claiming they had infiltrated the refugees to carry out terror attacks in the West.

Oh and on the OPs question - too ridiculous to dignify a reply.

And I am not remotely PC.

I think this is a shut the gate after the horse has bolted idea in truth.

I believe it is always reviewed retrospectively as a shameful event when particular nationalities are interned or deported during war time. One often loses sight of the actual intention which is to protect the population or the nation. In reality, the value of these events in the past are definitely in question.
As far as I'm aware, there was no "enemy" attack by Germans, Italians etc, living in Britain prior or during WW2 and this is a key difference to current events and the Irish troubles where Muslims and Catholics were involved in attacks on the mainland. For that reason alone, I think there is definitely a case to ban all Muslim immigration. There would be an outcry from the liberals but as a father and husband I place the safety of my family way above politics, religion or the needs of immigrants. The moral arguments are therefore secondary to me.
Could deportation or internment be another option? I think we must be very careful to remember that a very large chunk of the British Muslim population hate ISIS as much as the rest of us. I would be more inclined to encourage Muslims to embrace Western culture but be very harsh in dealing with sympathisers as there can be no IRA style negotiation.
Given the current escalating problems, I would think it wise to an open mind and keep all options on the table.

All rather embarrassing this message board some people's lack of knowledge on the subject is worrying. The generalisation that all Muslims are Arabs is far from true I think the top ten most populated Islamic countries only Iran (Arab/Middle East) is in the list the remainder are from India, Malaysia etc. Generalising all Muslims are Arabs doing wrong is so far from the truth... And for record I have been living in the Middle East for the last 5 years as an immigrant... Interesting reading from both parts of the word on these issues.

No, I wont have that.

Many of them are British.

Many Kurds are Muslims with a small m. A lot are also secular Muslims.
