Donald Trump to continue demonisation of Islam

With many in the US agreeing with Donald Trump’s view that ‘Islam hates us’, the Republican US presidential nominee isn’t about to abandon his rhetoric, writes Mohamad Bazzi

DONALD Trump prides himself on not backing down from any fight or controversial position. Hours after the Orlando nightclub mass shooting on June 12, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee doubled down on his plan to ban Muslim immigrants from entering the US.

He also renewed his call for US law enforcement agencies to use greater racial profiling, especially of Muslim Americans.
