Donald Trump urges US ban on Muslim arrivals
 

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

He said that polling showed a "hatred" by Muslims towards Americans that could put the nation at risk.

The border shutdown should remain "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

Mr Trump has also called for a wall on the Mexico border.

In recent weeks, since the Paris terror attacks, he has turned his attention to the Muslim population in the US, calling for the surveillance of mosques and a Muslim registration database.

This rhetoric has increased in the wake of the attacks in California last week, carried out by a Muslim couple believed to have been radicalised.

They opened fire and killed 14 people at a health centre in San Bernardino.

California attackers had target practice

Mr Trump's statement to reporters on Monday said polling firms like Pew Research had data that showed a hatred by Muslims against Americans.

"Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension.

"Where this hatred comes from and why, we will have to determine.

"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."

Mening: Een mooi voorbeeld van propaganda is dit wel, door de geschiedenis heen zijn er ook al veel van deze voorbeelden te zien. Ik vindt het schandalig dat omdat nog geen 5 procent gelovigen uit een bepaald geloof extremistisch handelen wordt het hele geloof over de zelfde kam gescheerd en dan nog in een politieke campagne. Het is al langer geweten dat Donald Trump in het algemeen geen buitelanders kan zien maar persoonlijk vindt ik dat hij er wat over begint te gaan. En natuurlijk hoop ik dat de Amerikanen bij de verkiezingen niet in de propaganda val zullen lopen.
