Discrimination is just treating them differently because of an identifying characteristic, such as religion. Screening a Muslim in a different way than an Atheist, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, what have you, is discrimination.

Wasn't the government violating citizens' Constitutional Rights by not guaranteeing them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
And who said anything about not screening refugees or other immigrants? All immigrants should be screened, and they are. Hell, there is a, what, two year waiting period for screening refugees currently? It is discriminatory, however, to treat group A differently from group B because of their religious backgrounds. And again, not even getting into how doing so would violate agreements and laws we are beholden to, or are supposed to be.
Any word on that source for your figure of 25% being sympathetic to ISIS and wanting to conduct violent acts against the West?
