Imam on CNN: ‘ISIS Is to Islam What Donald Trump Is to American Values’

‘I know a lot of Republican candidates are jumping on Trump about his latest comments but a lot of Republican candidates have really been using similar type of rhetoric throughout this election cycle’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

UNKNOWN FEMALE: "But you can't deny he's the front runner right now in the Republican presidential race. What was your reaction when you heard his remarks yesterday? The fact he wants to impose this travel ban on Muslims?"

SULTAN: "I would say, you know, is that ISIS is to Islam what Donald Trump is to American value, a complete distortion of everything that we as a country and a society stand for. And I think that what Donald Trump is arguing for is something that just buys into fear and is really just creating a situation that is going to cause enmity and fear and suspicious among people. I think he's clearly disqualified himself from being the president of the United States. But it is not just Donald Trump. I know a lot of Republican candidates are jumping on Trump about his latest comments but a lot of Republican candidates have really been using similar type of rhetoric throughout this election cycle and they stand to be held responsible for their wild claims and their ugly rhetoric as well."
