Iran president decries US ‘terrorism’ after Trump remarks By AFP on December 9, 2015 6:15 pm

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused the United
States Wednesday of having “created terrorism” as he
reacted to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for a
ban on Muslims entering the country.
During a cabinet meeting in Tehran, Rouhani said “Islam is
the religion of goodness and peace”.
“Unfortunately certain people around the world claim that
Muslims should be barred from entry in order to fight
terrorism,” he said.
“These are particularly bizarre remarks because they (the
United States) themselves created terrorism… with their
money and their men. and plant the seeds of terrorism in
the region.”
On Monday, Republican frontrunner Trump called for a
“total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the
United States, saying the ban should remain in place “until
our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is
going on.”
“We have no choice,” Trump said, speaking days after the
massacre in California of 14 people by a Muslim couple
believed to have been radicalised by extremists.
