Trump's Muslim ban plan is 'full of hatred', says Nobel prize winner Malala

December 17, 2015 08:08

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager and Nobel Peace Prize winner, condemned Donald Trump's controversial plan to ban Muslims. "Well that's really tragic that you hear these comments which are full of hatred, full of this ideology of being discriminative towards others," she said.

In a 2012 assassination attempt, Malala was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen. The attack took place when Malala, an advocate for girls' right to education, was riding a bus on her way home from school.

Some Muslim advocacy groups have similarly criticised Trump for lumping in peaceful Muslims with radical Islamic terrorist groups. Trump has said the US does not have the capability to distinguish between the two.
