Trump Criticised For Not Reb*tting ‘Muslim Obama’ Claim

US presidential candidate Donald Trump has drawn fire from Democrats and some Republicans after declining to rebuke a questioner at a town hall event who insulted Muslims and wrongly said President Barack Obama is a member of the faith.

The question to Trump, the front-runner in the 2016 Republican campaign, came on Thursday night at a town hall in Rochester, New Hampshire. The first person Trump called upon said: “We have a problem in this country: It’s called Muslims.” “We know our current president is one,” the man said of Obama, who is Christian. “You know he’s not even an American.”
Trump, a driver of the “birther” movement that falsely claimed Obama was born outside the US, first responded with feigned exasperation – “We need the question,” he said, to laughs – before letting the man continue. “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question,” the man in the audience continued. “When can we get rid of them?”
Trump replied: “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things. And you know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. “We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.”
