Among the many racist and insensitive comments Trump has made in the past, he has now stated that Muslim-Americans were "celebrating" on 9/11. To him, that makes him classify and stereotype all Muslims as automatic terrorists. After the recent attacks in Paris, Trump stated that he would consider closing down mosques or even put them on "high surveillance".
In a way, Trump grouping the Muslims into a stereotype and treating them as a scapegoat for problems instead of actually fixing them, sounds awfully familiar. (During WWII Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat in their time of crisis.) That's not to compare Trump to Hitler, but rather seeing how similar a situation like this could easily turn into a full out war.
