The former Apprentice contestant was speaking in response to radio caller Aman, who phoned her LBC show and condemned Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban. The ban sees citizens from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen temporarily barred from America along with all refugees. Aman argued that the “many divisions” in the Muslim world led to refugees fleeing for their lives. But Hopkins responded: “If Islam is not in a perfect shape – I respect your honesty – and there’s divisions between Sunni and Shia and others, why then would America want to import those divisions? “Why should America want those divisions on its shores? Why is it always Christian countries that need to import problems to solve them?

LBC•GETTY Katie Hopkins backed Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban

Somehow Christian countries are supposed open their arms open their borders and solve the problems of Islam. I’m really being conflicted by trying to understand that Katie Hopkins

“When in fact, if I tried to go over to a Muslim country I would be seen as less and required to dress a certain way and have all the problems, the divisions put upon me. “But somehow Christian countries are supposed open their arms open their borders and solve the problems of Islam. I’m really being conflicted by trying to understand that.” The caller admitted he understood the outspoken commentator’s point but said he could not help but “feel for the people who are living there”. Hopkins then said it was Christianity’s “less oppressive” nature, which allowed the West to be in “better shape”. She said: “I feel like the western world is in a better shape because we have Christian religions which seem to be less oppressive in some regards, especially with those who are more extreme in the way they practice them.
