TV Host Faces Backlash Over Muslim Ban Call

An Australian TV presenter is facing a social media backlash after calling for a ban on Muslim immigrants to the country during a live discussion about the terror attack in Nice.

Sonia Kruger, a co-host of Channel Nine's Today Extra programme, was responding on Monday to a column by conservative columnist Andrew Bolt, who asserted in his article that "jihadist terrorists" had made "France Europe's bloodiest battlefield" because "France let in the most Muslims".


Kruger, who also presents The Voice Australia said she thought Bolt "has a point", and that while she had a lot of Muslim friends who were "peace-loving, beautiful people", "fanatics" also existed.

She said she would like to see the immigration of Muslims to Australia "stopped... because I want to feel safe."
