Political leaders and Muslims across the world on Tuesday denounced Donald Trump's call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, dismissing the US Republican presidential front-runner as a bigot who promoted violence.
Trump, responding to last week's California shooting spree by two Muslims who the Federal Bureau of Investigation said had been radicalised, called for a complete block on Muslims entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".
Prime Minister David Cameron "completely disagrees" with the remarks, which are "divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong", a spokeswoman for the Conservative leader said in London.
Egypt's official religious body, Dar Al Iftaa, warned Trump's "extremist and racist" call to bar Muslims could fuel hate and tensions in American society.
Hillary Clinton, the main Democratic presidential hopeful, described the comments as "reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive".
"You don't get it," she tweeted to Trump. "This makes us less safe."
Democratic contender Martin O'Malley slammed Trump as "a fascist demagogue".
"Donald Trump is unhinged," Rebublican rival Jeb Bush said via Twitter. "His 'policy' proposals are not serious."
Council on American-Islamic Relations executive director Nihad Awad (Cair) - the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation - said: "Donald Trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours." - Agencies
