Trump 'would consider' closing down some mosques
- 8 years ago
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Monday he would consider closing some mosques in America with radical leadership because of the Paris attacks if he were elected president.
Trump and his rivals have been working to articulate how they would respond to Friday's attacks, claimed by the Islamic State , which killed 129 people and left hundreds wounded.
He also criticized President Barack Obama for not moving earlier to destroy the ISIS sites that France bombed over the weekend .
Trump's comments came as the governors of several American states spoke out against Obama's plan to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. in 2016.
The move, which began with Alabama and Michigan , quickly spread to other states, and by Monday evening, the governors of 24 states announced they would refuse refugees.
