Trump faces global scorn over call for Muslim ban

Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump, speaks during a rally coinciding with Pearl Harbor Day at Patriots Point aboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Monday, Dec. 7, 2015.

Trump’s proposal was denounced by prominent Republican leaders – including former Vice President Dick Cheney, who said it “goes against everything we stand for and believe in”.

Another law professor, Richard Friedman of the University of MI, told The Washington Post that Trump’s idea is “blatantly unconstitutional if it excludes us citizens (from re-entering the USA after trips to other countries) because they are Muslims”.

Mosque Imam, Shamudeen, said Trumps statement puts Muslims in greater danger of becoming victim’s of hate crimes.

Conservative warnings about Donald Trump have grown increasingly somber.

On Tuesday, White House spokesman, Josh Earnest said Trump’s statement “disqualifies” him from being president.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said that, “anything that bolsters ISIL’s narrative and pits the United States against the Muslim faith is certainly not only contrary to our values but contrary to our national security”, using an acronym for the militant group.

A spokeswoman for Prime Minister David Cameron departed from a tradition of not commenting on American presidential candidates, and said: “The Prime Minister completely disagrees with the comments made by Donald Trump, which are divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong”.

“Until our government figures out what the blank is going on”, Keller finished Trump’s announcement and added, “So that is what our government should be doing right now”.

In 2014, the USA offered visas to more than 600,000 people from the Middle East, as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan, countries where the US also has concerns about terrorism.

Clinton also linked Trump’s rhetoric to other members of his party. “We have people that want to blow up our buildings, our cities”.

Without mincing words, Simmons boldly says both his Muslim and Jewish friends compare his rhetoric to Adolph Hitler, but is asking the 69-year-old to tap into his shrewd negotiating skills that have helped everyone win in the past.

Among those on the GOP side panning Trump’s plan was House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

“Somebody in this country has to say what’s right”, Trump said. He cited the First Amendment to emphasize that he wouldn’t discriminate based on a visitor’s religion.

“American Muslims need to stop being looked at as a suspect”, she said. “Donald Trump is unhinged”, Jeb Bush said via Twitter.
