Muslims in Pakistan and Indonesia on Tuesday denounced Donald Trump's call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, dismissing the U.S. Republican presidential front-runner as a bigot who promoted violence.
Trump's statement on "preventing Muslim immigration" drew swift and fierce criticism from many directions at home, including from the White House and rivals for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Trump, responding to last week's California shooting spree by two Muslims who the Federal Bureau of Investigation said had been radicalized, called for a complete block on Muslims entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
