His diction "may" be correct but it's such a stretch of a usage that it's wrong either way. He's either saying:
Ban immigrants if they hold "fanatical beliefs" by which he intended to mean religous, ideological or cultural extremists,
or
Ban immigrants with "fantasy" based beliefs such as religion; in which case you're banning people the choice to practice religion when they come here.

and to Noir, where does this come from? just curious.
I believe you were looking for "fanatic." The word most commonly used and appropriate for the certain situation at hand. People who not only believe but practice their ideology to extremism. Which is what is true with this case. |
You know where it comes from?
Everyday people who defend their own beliefs, ideology, culture and religion from certain practitioners who take all the above too far. It's always been condemned as acts of "fanaticism" or "extremism".
