57% of Americans oppose Trump’s Islamophobic proposal

Hacker group Anonymous have “declared war” on controversial U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump – the internet collective claiming responsibility for briefly bringing down a website owned by the billionaire overnight. “The more United States appears to be targeting Muslims not just radical muslims”, it said. Majorities of Trump and Clinton supporters say their decision is firm. “I really think he needs to learn to use a filter”.

Trump has the GOP in turmoil over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the USA following last week’s mass shooting by an Islamic militant couple that killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California.

Across the street was a much smaller group of Trump supporters, some of them from out of state.

At the same time, a petition to ban the presidential hopeful from entering the United Kingdom became the most signed government petition in British history.

“When I talked about what I said the other day, all of a sudden I’m watching the shows this morning, and I’m watching the shows tonight, “Well you know Trump has a point”.

Donald Trump has hit back against United Kingdom critics of his stand against Islam, saying Britain had “a massive Muslim problem”.

Ms Clinton and Mr Trump are leading the polls among candidates in their respective parties. “You have been warned”.

Trump’s comments surrounding Muslims have garnered harsh criticism from many, including the White House.

By contrast, just 31 percent of Republican voters say Trump is at least somewhat compassionate, and 43 percent say he is at least somewhat likable.

Several news outlets have blasted Trump’s anti-Muslim immigration plan as bigoted, but the Philadelphia Daily News went as far as to compare him to Hitler on the front page. Her campaign says Clinton will focus on combating “domestic radicalization”, while demonstrating her belief “that the most effective plan stays true to America’s most deeply held values, such as inclusiveness and religious freedom”.

The New York Times ran an analysis of all of Trump’s speeches, interviews and press conferences, calling his speech patterns “ominous”. “So I would say lots of different reasons”, Trump said.

The NBC/WSJ poll also finds a plurality of Americans – 41 percent – believing that Trump’s general campaign statements are frequently insulting and have the wrong approach.
