'He's Not In Sync With Any Religion I'm Familiar With,' Says Dearborn Mayor Of Donald Trump

DEARBORN (WWJ) - An anti-hate and anti-terrorism rally in Dearborn this weekend brought out a large crowd of supporters. At the event, Mayor John O'Reilly expressed his problems with Republican Presidential front-runner, Donald Trump.

"I think it's a good start," said O'Reilly. "We've got a lot of work to do because like I said, we know them, people are not even following the messages from their own faiths - because their own faiths. I guarantee you -- I don't think he's in sync with any religion I'm familiar with except maybe one of his own creation."

Trump recently made headlines after suggesting a temporary ban on Muslims.

"Donald Trump represents fear mongering, quite literally," said O'Reilly. "We've seen in the history of human kind - where those who try to promote themselves by creating fear and division have created havoc - have created some of the worst situations we've ever seen and I'm hoping we can avoid that happening in this environment."

Dearborn is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the US.

Meantime, federal regulators are looking into whether Trump is breaking campaign finance laws.

It is illegal for candidates to use their corporation's resources for their campaigns.
