Now, Donald Trump claims 27% of Muslims ‘very militant’

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that more than one-fourths of the Muslims are "very militant", in latest controversial statements adding to his anti-Muslim rhetoric.

"It's (militant Muslims) 27 per cent, could be 35 per cent, would go to war, the hatred is tremendous," Trump told Fox News on Sunday when asked not more than 100,000 of the 1.6 billion Muslims are fighting for jihadist causes.

"You're saying that out of 1.5 billion, 100,000, let me tell you, whoever did that survey was about as wrong as you can get," Trump said.

"Why don't you take a look at the Pew poll that came out very recently or fairly recently, where I think the number ... it's something like 27 per cent are really very militant about going after things ... And you'll have to look at it. They did a very strong study. Let's see what it says. But it's a very significant number. It's not 100,000 people, I can tell you that. It's a ridiculous number," he claimed.

The 69-year-old reality show star and billionaire has continued with his anti-Muslim rhetoric, stoking controversies one after another and drawing flak from the world over including his party rivals.

Sunday's remarks come days after he said he thinks "Islam hates us" and asserted that those having hatred against the US cannot be allowed to enter the country.

He made headlines in December when he called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

Just sad how willing pighead blind the PC Crowd is. Look around the world. Where do Muslims leave peacefully with their neighbors?

Well, they are all commanded by Allah to kill all Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims. Beheading and dismemberment are their favorite. Militant barbarians all.

Any muslim can go off at any time.

Once they decide to follow their prophet’s example, they are a danger to the rest of us.

Actually, I was thinking 37% was on the LOW side of that, and it’s more like 40% are very militant.

I read a bunch of the comments at the link - I was expecting a wall of Trump hate but most agreed with him.
