Donald Trump Calls For ’Complete Shutdown Of Muslims Entering United States’

Mangalore Today News Network

Newark, New Jersey Dec 8, 2015 :  Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called Monday for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," an idea that prompted one of his rivals to call him "unhinged."

 

The proposed ban would apply to immigrants and visitors alike, a sweeping prohibition affecting all adherents of Islam who want to come to the US. The idea also raised immediate questions about whether it could pass muster under constitutional protections of the free exercise of religion.

Trump’s campaign said in a statement that such a ban should stand "until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on." The statement added that the Republican front-runner’s proposal comes in response to a level of hatred among "large segments of the Muslim population" toward Americans.

"Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life," Trump said in the statement.
