Threat and Prejudice and Moral Exclusion, Oh My!

This is why I do the research I do on the power of perceived threat in prejudice and moral exclusion:

Ken Knight, 54, a heating and cooling technician from Florence, S.C., said he agrees with Bush and Cruz that only Christian refugees should be let into the country.”I wouldnt bring the Muslims. They cut your head off. You cant trust them. Im sure there are good ones, but theyre like the mob. Once you get in, you cant trust them,” he said after a church service

I want to understand that strange thought process.

And, of course, Christians and terrorists are mutually exclusive, aren’t they?
