DONALD TRUMP'S PROPOSAL ON MUSLIM IMMIGRATION TO THE US

Tabled by George Kerevan (Scottish National Party) 56 signatures

The motion

That this House condemns unreservedly the call by US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump for a total and complete shutdown on those of the Muslim faith from entering the US; believes such intemperate public statements only provide an excuse for jihadists of all stripes to justify their evil and anti-Muslim violence; recognises that such an erroneous and blanket association of ordinary Muslims with terrorism only fosters a climate of fear and suspicion, which is the very thing that Daesh, al Qaeda and other jihadist groups need in order to gain adherents; and calls on Mr Trump to withdraw his remarks forthwith.
