As hard, or difficult to believe that Donald Trump will give a speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia. This is Donald Trump we're speaking of here.
Trump on Muslims: 'They're not coming to this country if I'm president'
On Muslims coming to the U.S.
At a rally in December 2015 in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Trump defended his plan for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims" by comparing it with former president Franklin Roosevelt's decision to inter Japanese Americans during the Second World War.
In support of a Muslim database.
"I would certainly implement that. Absolutely," Trump told an NBC News reporter between campaign events in November 2015 while in Newton, Iowa.
At a December 2015 rally in Charleston, South Carolina, just a few days after the San Bernardino shooting, Trump told thousands of supporters:
"Donald J. Trump is calling for a complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."
"I think Islam hates us," Trump told Anderson Cooper on CNN, after the host asked him whether Islam was at war with the West. "There is a tremendous hatred there. We have to get to the bottom of it."
Cooper then asked whether Trump believed the hatred was in the Islamic religion itself.
"You're going to have to figure that out," Trump replied. "You'll get another Pulitzer."
"We can't allow people who have this hatred coming into the United States and of people who are not Muslim."
