REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Donald Trump caused a stir after his latest idea to stop terrorism was likened to ‘Nazi Germany’.

EVERYONE can stop worrying about Islamist terrorism because Donald Trump has a solution.

The republican presidential candidate detailed plans to create a database to track and manage all American Muslims if he is elected into the oval office.

But the move has been condemned by the American-Islamic community who suggested it was akin to something from Nazi Germany.

The idea was also slammed by Trump’s political opponents.

Trump flaunted the controversial concept early last week, but only recently confirmed his plan while campaigning on the road.

“I would certainly implement that. Absolutely,” Trump told NBC, referring to the database.

The reality star said Muslims would be legally obligated to sign into the database, which would help identify those entering the country illegally.

“It’s all about management,” he said. “Our country has no management.”

“We have to stop people from coming into our country illegally.”

As expected, the outrageous claims were met with harsh criticism from a number of Trump’s opponents.

Democrat Hilary Clinton took to twitter to label Trump’s claims as “shocking”.

This is shocking rhetoric. It should be denounced by all seeking to lead this country. -H https://t.co/qs2TJI5spu

“It should be denounced by all seeking to lead this country,” she said.

However, it wasn’t just the Democratic Party that had a problem with Trump’s idea, with Jed Bush also criticising him.

“You talk about internment, you talk about closing mosques, you talk about registering people. That’s just wrong. I don’t care about campaigns,” he told CNBC.

“It’s not a question of toughness. It’s to manipulate people’s angst and their fears. That’s not strength, that’s weakness.”

A number of prolific members of the American-Islamic community also entered the discussion, liking the idea to Nazi Germany.

National spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations Ibrahim Hooper said he couldn’t contemplate Trump’s idea for a database.

“We’re kind of at a loss for words,” he told NBC.

“What else can you compare this to except to pre-war Nazi Germany? There’s no other comparison, and [Trump] seems to think that’s perfectly OK.”

Executive director of the non-profit Interfaith Alliance Rabbi Jack Moline also echoed the sentiments.

“My father was in World War II, and he fought to preserve America against what the Nazis were doing,” he said.

“This is exactly why there is an America, to not be like that.”

Despite standing by his claims, Trump is yet to offer the specifics on how the database will be operated, what the punishment would be for not registering or how sensitive information would be protected from cyber-attacks.
