Ahmad Majdalani, an aide to President Mahmoud Abbas, said Trump’s visit meant “nothing to us”.

But Minnesota Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, says Trump is running a campaign of “hate and resentment” that disqualifies him from the presidency.
The Trump Towers site, trumptowerny.com, went down for around an hour yesterday, reportedly in retaliation for Trump’s recent suggestion to ban “all Muslims” from entering the US.
A major New England police union announced Thursday it endorsed Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump.
Mr Netanyahu defended the scheduled meeting as part of the policy of meeting with all presidential candidates from both parties and stressed that the trip was co-ordinated before Mr Trump’s comments on banning Muslims, which, he said, Israel rejected.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie chalked up the ban to Trump’s lack of experience in elective office: “This is the kind of thing that people say when they have no experience and don’t know what they’re talking about”.
Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has a huge lead over his Republican rivals, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll. “Donald J. Trump has been criticized by some for saying something similar”. I also did it because I’m in the midst of a very powerful campaign that’s going very well and it was not that easy to do.
When Trump questioned which “sports heroes” he was referring to many brought up Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah and Mike Tyson, who previously said he was a Trump supporter.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton on Thursday took one of her strongest shots yet at Trump, declaring, “I no longer think he’s amusing”.
Ali added: “We, as Muslims, have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”.
“This latest demand that we not let Muslims into our country really plays into the hands of terrorists, and I don’t say that lightly”, said Clinton, calling his comments a potential “propaganda tool”.
