Motion text

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.
