Over 35000 Britons petition to ban Donald Trump from UK

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said Trump’s comments could “lead to the victimization of the innocent” by extremists. “We’ve got to come together”.

The White House has even urged Republicans to disown the billionaire who is leading the race to represent them in the 2016 presidential election.

It added: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.

British Prime Minister David Cameron called Trump’s plan “divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong”.

US President Barack Obama “is singularly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims” in countries like Syria, Iraq, Libya and Palestinian territories, Glenn said in an interview with Press TV on Wednesday. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement in support of religious freedom.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) denounced Trump’s statement saying, “This is not conservatism”. And more importantly, it’s not what this country stands for.

“I would say to him you are not welcome in our country in the same way that you want to ban people like me going into your country”, Ms Siddiq told BBC Radio London. What somebody like a Trump is trying to do is to divide us up.

Although his proposal to halt Muslim immigration until Congress has acted has been criticised, it has also been cheered by many Trump supporters.

On Tuesday, an imam of a mosque in United States said in a video, “What I am anxious about is this kind of thought impacting the Americans who doesn’t know us, whose children go to the same school as our children”. “You side with people in the faith who reject this ideology, which is 99 percent”, Graham told CNN, before invoking Trump’s campaign slogan – “make America great again”.

Along with sparking outrage in the West, Trump’s comments about Muslims have, understandably, not been well received in the Middle East and other regions with large Muslim populations. “So what? They’re Muslims!” “The truth is many of them have also said extreme things about Muslims”, she said at a campaign rally Tuesday in New Hampshire. Using Trump’s “logic”, we ought to hold all Christians responsible for terrorist actions committed by these groups.

Mr Nutter called the Republican’s comments “a threat to the moral security of the United States of America”. One might assume that naked discrimination against a group of people runs so contrary to fundamental American principles that any candidate for public office would reflexively stand against it, without having to think twice.

The Republican Party, said Jeb Bush adviser Ana Navarro, is stuck between “a rock and a jerk” less than eight weeks before the first primary-season votes are cast in Iowa.
