The 61-year-old justified, as human beings, “We are all Muslim”. Although Rick Santorum said that he supported Trump’s idea for a ban on all Muslims, some of the other “undercard” candidates expressed some disapproval, Newsweek.com reports.
Kerry said it was clear from his exchanges with other diplomats in Paris that Trump’s anti-Muslim comments were damaging to U.S. foreign policy.
“We’re not talking about isolation, we’re talking about security”, he said.
Republicans are far more suspicious than other Americans of an inherent link between Islam and violence, the polls show, a fact that is likely to strongly influence the GOP presidential hopefuls as they debate.

“I really like the almost-camaraderie between him and Cruz”, Eric said. “But the bottom line, if it’s Trump, so be it. That’s who I’ll support”. We are not a country of angry white guys. “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency” said Bush. “They are not coming to this country and if I am president and if Obama has brought some [Muslims] to this country they are gone”. “And not the people who want you leading their country”, Moore wrote.

Moore said he will post the photos on his website and send them to Trump. You cannot make fun of the disabled and handicapped; you cannot demean women, immigrants, minorities, the frail, the weak and play on people’s fears; and thank God, you cannot bully your way to the White House.
