Trump recently called for [a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.](http://time.com/4139476/donald-trump-shutdown-muslim-immigration/ "undefined") until U.S. “representatives can figure out what is going on” a few days after a shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., was carried out by a Muslim couple. “That’s really tragic that you hear these comments which are full of hatred, full of this ideology of being discriminative towards others,” [she said](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/16/disgruntled-siberian-city-wants-cat-for-mayor "undefined"). Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, who also spoke at the event, added, “It will be very unfair, very unjust that we associate 1.6 billion with a few terrorist organizations.” \[[_BBC_](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35109350 "undefined")/[_AFP_](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/16/disgruntled-siberian-city-wants-cat-for-mayor "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4151167/malala-donald-trump-muslim-comments/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4151167/malala-donald-trump-muslim-comments/"},"headline":"Malala Yousafzai Calls Donald Trump Comments 'Full of Hate'","datePublished":"2015-12-16T12:51:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T13:25:16.314Z","description":"The 18-year old Muslim was herself the target of Muslim extremists","url":"https://time.com/4151167/malala-donald-trump-muslim-comments/","keywords":["Education","Religion","Donald Trump","Malala Yousafzai","Malala"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1adad55ff2057d0b/69887593524fc06b9adf5f31/malala-yousafzai-donald-trump-muslims-comments.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1adad55ff2057d0b/69887593524fc06b9adf5f31/malala-yousafzai-donald-trump-muslims-comments.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Malala Yousafzai Unveils Her Official Portrait By Nasser Azam","caption":"Malala Yousafzai Unveils Her Official Portrait By Nasser Azam","creditText":"Richard Stonehouse—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4151167/malala-donald-trump-muslim-comments/","name":"Malala Yousafzai Calls Donald Trump Comments 'Full of Hate'"}}]}] ```
