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."
