he does stuff like that because the voting masses like it, he doesn't care what the muslims think as they are a small group that he understands kicking out of America will also get rid of a lot of problems that will erupt in the coming years as oil wars get fought.
you cant have a few million enemy combatants within your boarders when your trying to cleanse their religious powerbase and steal its oil..... that's the path to self destruction, so he wants to use popular sentiment over unimportant anti terrorism antics to generate the backwash to expel them all before he leads his country over the abys, the problem is he's sending that signal loud and clear to the rest of the world which does make him seem less capable than a mewling child in the political arena, he also will garner the support of the less informed and it will become a public demand to make it happen complete with riots and mass killings if it doesn't, so whoever takes power in the elections their path will be set if he is allowed to keep going
then again I thought he was probably due an iron overdose when Obama won the election last time round /
just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you
