Except that his rhetoric towards Muslims in the US has been quite disturbing. He's basically said they're in charge of making sure the "bad" ones don't do anything, making a sort of guilt by association. Worse, he's repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that thousands of Muslims were celebrating during 9/11. This kind of fear mongering can help create a hostile environment. |
I can't find any report of Trump saying that muslims should make sure that the radical ones behave, or something of the sort. Mind providing a link? Maybe it was in one of his speeches but it seems the media didn't pick up on it a lot. That or I need to improve my Google skills. I think it is best to link the quotes, as for just "basically" quoting can be very missleading. Just from what you said he said, I imagine he meant that moderate muslims should speak more publicly against radical muslims, which, if the case, it is for their own good as they'd be publicly condemning and seperating themselves from radical muslims.
As for that thousands of muslims were celebrating during 9/11, I've found some reports, from cops, residents and even one by CNN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5BtQgTGOI4). Now, if those reports are correct, it seems there is no evidence of these celebrations happening by the thousands, which might be an exaggeraton, but some still happened, aparently.
