Trump Calls for ‘Complete Shutdown’ on Muslims Entering US

But Trump’s proposed ban goes much further, and his Republican rivals were quick to reject the latest provocation from a candidate who has delivered no shortage of them.

The United States has economic ties with Islamic countries and there are millions of Muslim people in America. He also said American citizens who are Muslim would be allowed back into the country after an overseas trip.

“This will give a chance to extremists from all parties to realise their criminals aims”, it said.

And he warned supporters that without his controversial proposals – which in addition to banning Muslim immigrants includes surveilling and potentially shutting down mosques – the USA could face another deadly attack on the scale of 9/11.

“You’re going to have many more World Trade Centers if you don’t solve it – many, many more and probably beyond the World Trade Center”, Trump told CNN’s Chris Cuomo in a contentious interview on “New Day”.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Trump said: “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension”.

Trump has faced pushback from within his party for earlier comments about Muslims, but never with such speed and force. He added his plan had “tremendous support” from thousands of people who “just want to see something happen”.

Donald Trump today faced a fresh backlash after claiming parts of London are “so radicalised” that police officers are “afraid for their own lives”.

“The protest is a response to Donald Trump coming down to Charleston, where we’ve been through a lot this year, from Walter Scott to the Emmanuel Nine” said Latisha, a member of Black Lives Matter Charleston, referencing the murders of local black people at the hands of police officer Michael Slager and white supremacist Dylann Roof.

Ben Carson said he would not advocate “being selective on one’s religion” but does believe that “everyone visiting our country should register and be monitored during their stay”. “It is reckless and simply un-American”. “And it is un-American”, said Jennifer Horn, chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Hampshire.

Bahour said relatives in the U.S. have been telling him “how they are hearing comments in the street, supermarkets, really racist comments”. Gaffney even has a petition page set up on his group’s website wanting to kick Norquist and Suhail Kahn out of the American Conservative Union and accusing them of “running influence operations against conservatives on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist causes”.

Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations blasted Trump.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest accused Trump of playing on people’s fears and trying to tap into “a darker side, a darker element” of American society.

We should temporarily halt all immigration from every country across the board. Why?

Republicans who know better made excuses for Trump for too long and failed to denounce him when he first singled out a group (Hispanics) for invective.
