| Trump Muslim ban doesn’t include ‘every Muslim’ | ||
| 2016-05-15 | ||
Trump "has not backpedaled on his Muslim ban," Katrina Pierson said in an interview with US network CNN, responding to a claims that the tycoon-turned presumptive Republican nominee had softened his stance closer to the November election. "He said he would back off of it in an instant if things have taken place where we can properly vet individuals," Pierson said.
In the Friday interview, Trump’s spokeswoman insisted that the ban was a "suggestion" and an "immigration policy." "It never included American Muslims living overseas. It never included anyone other than those looking to immigrate into this country. So even that has been total media spin and completely false." Media attention of Trump’s controversial proposal resurfaced after London’s newly-elected Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan had expressed worries that he would not be able to visit the United States were Trump elected in November. Khan told Time magazine that "Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe -- it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of Lion of Islams." Trump said in response, that "there will always be exceptions," to his proposed ban. The shock proposal back in December was likely conceived in a "rushed fashion without any study," Khalil Jashan, a Paleostinian-American activist and pundit, told Al Arabiya English. | ||

| #6 If they really cared sooooooo much about the Moslems they shouldn't have given so much money and power to the Moslem Brotherhood. They gave then the power; the Muslim Brotherhood provided the money in exchange. |
