That Donald Trump has been at it again. This time, though, he’s made possibly his most controversial remarks yet by outlining his proposals to clamp-down on terrorism following the Paris attacks and San Bernadino shooting.
In a campaign statement on Monday, the Republican frontrunner was quickly condemned after calling for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Leaves you almost speechless, right?
Fellow Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush took to Twitter to lead the condemnation and said: “Donald Trump is unhinged. His ‘policy’ proposals are not serious.”
Despite all the criticism, though, one American-Muslim student has all but shutdown the debate around the well-known businessman's controversial remarks by putting out arguably the best response to that statement:
Mr Alkhateeb - who says he is a student at Darul Qasim, a university in Glendale Heights, Illinois, which focuses on Islamic sciences - is also a student at the University of Chicago.
He quickly earned himself legion of fans who supported his thoughts in their quest for a decent Wi-Fi connection:
The student runs a website called Lost Islamic History which, he says, aims to educate all people, regardless of religious affiliation, about the story of Muslims of the past.
According to the site, Mr Alkhateeb is an Islamic history teacher at Universal School in Bridgeview, Illinois, and has a bachelor’s degree in history with a concentration in Islamic history from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
