- 8 years ago
Malala Yousafzai has condemned a call by US presidential hopeful Donald Trump to ban Muslims from entering the US.
Speaking at the event in Birmingham on Tuesday, Malala told AFP news agency: "Well, that's really tragic that you hear these comments which are full of hatred, full of this ideology of being discriminative towards others."
Malala also reiterated her call for quality education around the world to "defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred" that led to events such as the Peshawar attack.
The 18-year-old Pakistani campaigner was also quoted by the Press Association as saying that such comments could "radicalise more terrorists" and urged politicians and the media to exercise more caution.
"If your intention is to stop terrorism, do not try to blame the whole population of Muslims for it because it cannot stop terrorists," she said.
