特朗普呼籲禁止穆斯林進入美國

Donald Trump has called for a “total and complete shutdown” on Muslims entering the US in a dramatic escalation of the already sharp rhetoric about Islam that has followed the terrorist attacks in California and Paris.

在共和黨總統候選人提名戰民調中領跑的唐納德礠朗普(Donald Trump)呼籲，應“完全而徹底地禁止”穆斯林進入美國。法國巴黎和美國加利福尼亞州發生恐怖襲擊後，一些人針對伊斯蘭教發表的言論已然相當尖銳，特朗普的這番話意味着這類言論的尖銳性出現了大幅升級。

The real estate mogul, who is leading the polls for the Republican presidential nomination, said in a statement on Monday that Muslims should be barred from entering the country until national leaders “can figure out what is going on”.

這名地產大亨在週一的一份聲明中表示，在國家領導人“搞清楚眼下的情況”之前，應禁止穆斯林進入美國。

“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” he said.

他表示：“在我們能夠確定和弄明白這個問題及它所構成的危險之前，我們的國家不能成爲那些只信仰聖戰、毫無理性或毫不尊重人類生命的人所製造的可怕襲擊的受害者。”

Mr Trump made his statement the day after President Barack Obama used a televised address to urge Americans not to alienate Muslim communities “through suspicion and hate”.

在特朗普發表上述言論一天前，美國總統巴拉克攠巴馬(Barack Obama)發表電視講話，敦促美國人不要“通過猜疑和仇恨”疏遠穆斯林羣體。

The White House immediately criticised Mr Trump’s statement. Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, said the call to ban Muslims was “totally contrary to our values as Americans” and would endanger national security because it would bolster Isis propaganda about US hostility to Muslims.

美國政府對特朗普的言論立刻提出了批評。美國副國家安全顧問本圠德斯(Ben Rhodes)表示，禁止穆斯林入境的呼聲“與我們作爲美國人的價值觀完全相悖”，並將危及國家安全，因爲那樣做將佐證伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國(ISIS)關於美國敵視穆斯林的宣傳。

The statement was also strongly attacked by some of Mr Trump’s rival Republican candidates. Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, said Mr Trump had become “unhinged”. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator, said the statement was “downright dangerous” and would put at risk the lives of US troops, diplomats and supporters in the Middle East.

特朗普的言論還遭到了一些與他爭奪共和黨總統候選人提名的人士的強烈批評。前佛羅里達州州長傑布布什(Jeb Bush)表示，特朗普已經“精神錯亂”。南卡羅來納州參議員林塞格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)表示，這一言論“非常危險”，它將讓在中東的美國士兵、外交官和支持者的生命面臨危險。

Since the Paris attacks, Mr Trump has consolidated his lead in national polls on the Republican race. A poll on Monday gave him a 13 percentage point lead in Iowa, the first state to vote. However, another showed Ted Cruz, the Texas senator, leading by 5 percentage points.

自巴黎發生恐怖襲擊以來，特朗普已鞏固了其在共和黨總統候選人提名戰全國民調中的領跑地位。週一的一項民調顯示，他在愛荷華州（該州將是首個舉行投票的州）領先13個百分點。不過，另一項民調顯示，德克薩斯州參議員特德克魯茲(Ted Cruz)領先5個百分點。
