Pentagon says anti-Muslim rhetoric undermines US national security

None

The Pentagon warned on Tuesday against fueling the Islamic State's (ISIS/ISIL) narrative of a US war with Islam, in a swipe at rhetoric by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that has triggered outrage around the world.

 

Trump, the Republican front-runner for the November 2016 presidential election, has proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States. On Tuesday, he compared his plan to the World War Two detainment of Japanese-Americans.
