A leading Muslim civil rights group is calling on GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to apologize for his claim that "Islam hates us."

In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired Wednesday night, Trump was asked whether he thinks Islam is at war with the West.

"I think Islam hates us," Trump responded. "There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us."

The statement drew swift condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which called on Trump to apologize for the comment, as it has in response to other comments Trump has made.

Actually, as the muslims were allied with hitler throughout WWII, the West should have taken islam down to the same state as it did nazi Germany.

As the West failed to do this, we now face this cancer on humanity until the total defeat of this monstrous “religion” is finally effected, or it will surely conquer us.

No other outcome is possible.

By accepting the assertion that only “radical” muslims are the problem we have to have the ability to read minds.

We don’t have this ability.

By stating that immigration from certain muslim countries should be put on hiatus, Trump became the only candidate who gets it, that no sane solution to the muslim problem can be contemplated that does not risk consequences that may accrue to all muslims. It is simultaneously a call to muslims themselves to act against their own. By segmenting “radical” muslims, no such call exists.

It’s a shame, but America must become inhospitable to all muslims, or acquire the ability to read minds.

He should have said Islamists hate us with every fiber of their Satantic being. And instead of a lot of them, he should have said every damn one of them, unless they publicly renounce what Islam has done to us just in the past 20 years.

I heard this guy or someone quoting him saying that since Trump started running for president that millions of Muslims in this country had been attacked. Wow. Does he think people really believe that? Can he name one?

I think they classify as "attack", any Muslim reading or hearing any negative comment about Islam.

But a Muslim cutting off somebody's head or shooting up his company is no big deal, and is in no way connected with Islam.
