A U.N. spokesman says Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly opposes Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States
Farhan Haq said Ban has repeatedly spoken out against all forms of xenophobia and statements against migrants, racial or religious groups “and that would certainly apply in this case.”
While political campaigns have their own dynamics, Haq said, “we do not believe that any kind of rhetoric that relies on Islamaphobia, xenophobia, any other appeal to hate any groups, really should be followed by anyone.”
Trump has defended his call Monday for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” which has sparked widespread condemnation in the U.S. and abroad.

Keep attacking him Americans know he’s right and his numbers raising reflect it
Go ahead, clean up US!
Thanks D T
Trump is sounding fascistic in his rhetoric
Originally, Trump was somewhat of a breath of fresh air. He was willing to outright blast what all the others were tiptoeing and prancing around thereby pushing the acceptable boundaries of [false] political standards and debate.But now he just keeps going and going too far ,and is having the opposite effect!
Would all the jews who are presently cheering Trump’s demagoguery, approve if it was turned upon them?
Are they fools ?
He’s right it’s too dangerous right now and he is the only person who has the guts to say something, he doesn’t want to be president but someone needs to fix everyone else’s mess and he is willing to do it
In the beginning, Trump , arguably was getting some of the ‘disenfranchised’ to get involved and engaged,
but now he’s is damaging and hurting the GOP
In the recent Canadian Election,in part due to his an increasingly anti moslem stances [cheered and egged on largely by jews ]Stephen Harper tanked !
