Yes you do, and it was an over-reaction then based on what subsequently occurred - something that was entirely unknown at the time. It was plausible that there were Japanese infiltrators in that day, very plausible. And because it was an overreaction then, something we only know because we aren't living in that time, does not mean it is an overreaction in every case. In the case of the Muslim population here, we simply don't know how many are supporters of ISIS or Sharia - though polls (which I don't give too much weight to) indicate it is a rather sizable proportion of that population. Because we don't know how many or exactly who these supporters might be, it means we need to consider all of our options for providing security to the rest of our population. Considering all options does not mean that all options will be taken - events in the future would dictate that. If Muslims set off nuclear devices in American cities - admittedly a very extreme situation - then things will happen that don't necessarily align with our politically correct way of thinking today.
From everything that I have read, within this article and anywhere else, no candidate - including Trump - has called for special IDs for Muslims. Not ruling out hypotheticals (particularly those posed by reporters who have a story they want to get clicks on), as I've attempted to show in my posts here, does mean that any action is going to be proposed or seriously considered, let alone implemented.
Trump said he wouldn't rule it out - that's the wise answer. ISIS have pledged to attack Times Square, the White House - I believe they mean to. If you can picture a scenario where they have pulled off some attacks like that - hitting a mall at Christmas, etc - where large numbers of innocents are slaughtered while ISIS gives out candy and Muslims are dancing in the streets - where they are the predominate majority in the world.
Couple that scenario with the realization that ISIS has many cells HERE - and that they are getting indoctrination and arms from certain mosques - that the attacks have reached a level that can not be tolerated any longer - what real leader would not institute such measures in an emergency situation such as that? No one said they would be permanent - but you would have to go into some rat dens to rout the rats out.
Trump was just answering that he wouldn't rule that out - he was being refreshingly honest and non-politically correct. Everybody keeps trying to set traps for him - "he said WHAT?????" - but he is still leading in polls. Americans want to feel safe again and they want a leader that actually loves this country, they don't want to hear platitudes anymore.
"Islam is a religion of peace."
What kind of f***ed up $*** is that? That kind of stuff is going to get us all killed. People had better wake up - we will be signing our own death warrant if we elect a politician that is going to continue these policies of trying to appease an enemy that wants us DEAD.
