Donald Trump appears on Christian Broadcasting Network’s 700 Club and mentions how he thinks the Quran is a scripture with a “very negative vibe" and that America "has a Muslim problem".

Other noteworthy exchanges from Brody’s interview with Trump:

David Brody: “Radical Islam: to evangelicals, this is a bread and butter issue. You said there’s a Muslim problem in this country. What do you mean by that exactly?”

Donald Trump: “Bill O’Reilly asked me is there a Muslim problem? And I said absolutely, yes. In fact I went a step further. I said I didn’t see Swedish people knocking down the world trade center. It was very interesting. I thought that was going to be a controversial statement and somebody, I think it was Dennis Miller introduced me, he was doing like an analysis of me, he said, I love it. The guy said what the truth is. He didn’t mince his words. He didn’t say oh, gee, no there’s not a Muslim problem, everybody’s wonderful and by the way, many, many, most Muslims are wonderful people but is there a Muslim problem? Look what’s happening. Look what happened right here in my city with the World Trade Center and lots of other places. So I said it and I thought it was going to be very controversial but actually it was very well received. I think people want the truth. I think they’re tired of politicians. They’re tired of politically correct stuff. I mean I could have said, oh absolutely not Bill, there’s no Muslim problem, everything is wonderful, just forget about the World Trade Center but you have to speak the truth. We’re so politically correct that this country is falling apart.”
