Donald Trump stands by his comments to ban Muslims from America; British politicians wants him banned from UK

The aftermath of the Paris attacks were felt worldwide—prayers were said, campaigns to end terrorism were held by many, and calls to action to fight back against ISIS resounded among various political groups.

One aspiring politician seemed like he took it too far, as presidential candidate Donald Trump announced via a press release that there must be "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims" from entering the United States.

"Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension," Trump said in the press release. "Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again."

Because of this shocking move, Huffington Post reports that Scottish resident and longtime Trump critic Suzanne Kelly has begun an online petition banning the Republican candidate from entering the United Kingdom because he violated the nation's hate-speech laws. The petition calls on UK Home Secretary Theresa May to make a move to prevent Trump from visiting the U.K.

"The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. This same principle should apply to Donald J Trump. We cannot see how the United Kingdom can condone his entry to the country when many people have been barred for less," the petition wrote.

Meanwhile, Trump remains adamant about his stand, telling Barbara Walters that he is "the worst thing that ever happened to ISIS."

People reports that when asked if he regretted his statements, Trump simply said, "not at all".

The Independent reports that according to Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, "Donald Trump’s comments are obnoxious and offensive, and have rightly been condemned by people across the political spectrum."

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron also commented, "For someone trying to be president of America it frankly shows why he is utterly unsuited for the role."

British Future think-tank director Sunder Katwala expressed his thoughts on Trump's statements, saying, "Until Trump retracts these highly prejudiced comments, there is a good case for making clear he would be refused entry to the UK by the Home Secretary."

Whether or not Trump will indeed be banned from the U.K. remains to be seen.
