Dividing the world

The offensive outburst by Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential candidacy, is a barb of hate rhetoric that can divide the world. Mr Trump has equated all Muslims with extremists and militants. The San Bernardino mass shootings have confused a large number of uneducated people in America. People would do well to understand that Mr Trump is echoing the Nazism and Stalinism of old. His outrageous outbursts represent a threat to world peace.
