Trump infamously called “for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States' before taking office.
Fox News host David Asman defended Donald Trump on Monday against accusations that he is Islamophobic, arguing the president had saved “thousands and thousands” of Muslims from the Islamic State extremist group.
On the Fox News program Outnumbered, Asman discussed the New Zealand attack and the criticism of Trump with a panel of women. Fellow Fox host Harris Faulkner pointed to extremist violence in the Middle East. Although ISIS has seen its territory greatly reduced since Trump took office, Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Syria have all played significant roles in combating the group, as have several European nations. The president has already taken credit for defeating the group, despite military and intelligence experts pointing out that the extremist organization still poses a serious threat. Activists have also alleged that U.S.-led airstrikes have killed thousands of civilians during the fight against ISIS.
