Trump urges ban on Muslims coming to US

Well the Presidential race is truly underway and the lead candidate is taking on his oponents with aggressiveness and playing to a certain demographic...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called for a halt to Muslims entering the US, in the wake of the deadly California shootings.

In a campaign statement, he said a "total and complete" shutdown should remain until the US authorities "can figure out" Muslim attitudes to the US.

At a rally in South Carolina hours later, frontrunner Mr Trump repeated the pledge, to loud cheers.

Criticism from the White House and other Republicans was swift.

Mr Trump's comments were contrary to US values and its national security interests, a statement from the White House said.

    

Republican Jeb Bush, also running for president, said the New York businessman was "unhinged".

 

So.... Can The Donald win ?

The sad thing is that even with these outbursts, he is leading in the polls. His comments are also being taken up by right wing parties in Europe. Their logic is that if a Presidential Candidate from the USA can believe this, then why shouldn't we

I cringe at the thought of Trump actually being the voice on behalf of Americans. His reckless words and arrogant actions are not the thoughts and opinions of all of our country. It will be a problem. Frustrating and scary.

Not so good to mix religion with politics!! Also terrorism has no religion. And he has no right to blame the entire Muslim community for the terrifying act in California.

These step make the job of TERRORISTS very easy . punish those who are not guilty so that the guilty laugh at you and get the support of the people with differing mind . He is free to take any decision after becoming the president or at any time

with views like that, he will not be president, at least not for these reasons; i believe in a country's people and i believe most americans will have the sense to see that his mindset doesn't make sense...

Hope there are not too many who shares his views on the wake of recent attacks in San Bernadino.

Of course the ban cannot work.. However he has started a trend that other candidates may need to follow in order to succeed

That is great if only US army also set to leave the Islamic countries(Syria, Afghan, Lebanon .....etc) only then would there be PEACE. But for me i believe this man is sick. He also said it openly that the first African-American he will deport is Obama the incumbent president.

"The US initiated ... the fight among brothers." This is a lame excuse. In the end the "brothers" kill their "brothers". They could easily say 'No' to that, but they don't.

Mixing religion with politics is medieval and has no place in the 21st century. Unfortunately many people are still living in the medieval times.

definitely he will be carried to the nomination. people there are so afraid of jihadis and racial. its easy to play mindgames.

the question is how miserable life will be for a practicing muslim in between all these so called muslim named jihadis. and to add to it, shootings in US is common when an american or jew or christian does but when it is some ahmed, mohamed or yousuf its a jihadi act or muslim terrorist. others are mental stress or disorders.

biased world

Kurain: Obviously The Donald is trying to be right wing in order to pull the party back to its "roots".. He seems to be succeeding..

The question is, will his rhetoric against Muslims and Mexicans carry him to the nomination

The US initiated the divide and rule policy which led to the fight among Brothers.

War is not the option...All muslims are Brothers ...whether Sunni, Shia, Yemeni, Saudi, Qatari, Irani, Bahraini...

If US puts ban on Muslims , then the real agenda will be revealed. The Muslims will be united.

Nobody have right to kill his Muslim Brother.. Fear Allah...

Whether he is Shia or Sunni..

He is your bother ...His Prophet is Muhammed and his God is Allah.

Let him win..Then the real war will begin
