Well, who does Donal Trump invite? Not Muslims obviously.
I just read "Talking to the Enemy" by Scott Atran https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14848338-talking-to-the-enemy
Yes, it's about opening space...
I'll write a book review some day.

Wait. Is Donald Trump invited? His ideas?
Are those who have thus far repressed similar thoughts and feelings
as expressed by Trump...are they also invited?
Because: if he is not, if they are not, if those ideas are not,
then: the space that is purportedly open is in fact closed.
VERY closed.
Perhaps this dynamic is what causing Trump's various expressions to
resonate? Perhaps this dynamic is in fact energizing Trump's
campaign?

Repression. It is similar to suppression in that a thought or
feeling or emotion is not expressed -- but in repression, we deny
that the element even exists.

Donald Trump has said what some people here
in the USA (and elsewhere in the world) have also been saying
and feeling. These are the words of fear. Unfortunately they
are also the words of a demagogue, seeking to play upon the
fears of others. That there is danger is clear, but an
infinitely greater danger is that we sacrifice our essential
humanity to our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors
and windows... we close our space. And while it may appear
safer, that is an allusion. Life cannot be lived without space
to live in. We are no exception.
Recently we have been celebrating the
warmth and depth of this global community. It is a wonder. But
the beauty of this community is not an inherent gift, I
believe. Rather it is the reflection of what we do. Opening
Space. Opening space is not magic. We did not invent it. It is
not even complicated. At root level it is simply inviting
people to be fully who and what they are, to greet each other
and to enjoy the space. We can do it. We can invite others to
do it. And now is the time.
