calling for peace and unity following recent extremist attacks in the name ofry lidge i don't know. local leaders coming together and defy the controversial comments this week made by donald trump. george spencer is live in nicetown where religious leaders held a news conference this morning. george tell us more. >> reporter: leaders felt they could not remain silent. they denounced any form of terror in the name of religion but criticized political leaders using this moment in american history to stoke fear. it comes at a time of heightened awareness in the city of philadelphia. earlier this week, nbc 10 told you about an apparent act of vandalism at a north philadelphia mosque. a pig's head dumped out front,

now being investigated by the philadelphia police department. and that, of course, followed last week's mass shooting in the state of california investigated as terrorism carried out by radicalized muslims. but the clergy today insisted now is the time for unity, not division, and they roundly denounced calls by republican presidential candidate donald trump for a ban on muslims entering the united states. >> it's offensive on so many levels. it should disqualify him from even serving as president of this great nation which is represented by nearly every population and every religion in the world. >> reporter: the clergy and political leaders here today emphasize they will continue the fight they started in here this morning as long as the national stage is dominated by the rhetoric we've been hearing of late. reporting live, i'm george spencer, nbc 10 news.

>> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> reporter: it's this statement monday night from republican presidential candidate donald trump that set off so much controversy. and now boxing legend muhammad ali is criticizing trump's call to ban muslims enter entering the united states. ali released a statement to nbc news saying in part "we as muslims have to stand up to those who use islam to advance their own personal agenda. they have alienated many from learning about islam." donald trump recently said he could not recall any great muslim american athletes, but months ago trump called ali his friend and posted this photo of his -- on his own facebook page. here's more fallout. references to donald trump have been removed from signs of a planned golf course in dubai. the developer took down the sign

yesterday that showed trump in mid-golf swing. meanwhile, the landmark group indefinitely suspended sales on all trump-branded items for its life-styles outlets in the middle east. trump's remarks were also among the topics last night as 51 people were sworn in is as american citizens in delaware county. [ cheers and applause ] nbc 10 was in media as those people celebrated their citizenship. some came from bangladesh, pakistan, and liberia and waited years to become american citizens. one former liberian acknowledged trump's recent proposal to ban muslims. >> it offended me a little bit because all i can say, i'm a muslim, so all i can say is all muslims are not terrorists. >> he doesn't make a lot of sense sometimes, you know? >> one common sentiment we heard last night was american pride. the delaware county district attorney told the crowd that americans don't fear

differences, we celebrate it. despite backlash from all sides, trump continues to defend his proposed muslim ban and as nbc's peter alexander shows us, trump is again hinting at a possible independent run for president. >> reporter: donald trump again threatening gop bosses with a third-party bid. >> if they don't treat me with a certain amount of decorum and respect, if they don't treat my as the front-runner, by far the front-runner, if the playing field is not level, then certainly all options are open. >> reporter: and trump remains unapologetic. are you racist? >> i am the least racist person that you have ever met. >> reporter: for the first time since trump ignited this latest firestorm, president obama commemorating the end of slavery took a swipe at his loudest critic. >> our freedom is bound up with the freedom of others.

regardless of what faith they practice. >> reporter: trump's provocative words are sparking condemnation worldwide. >> mr. donald trump. >> hear hear! >> britain is considering a ban from the uk. and a major middle east department store chain has yanked all trump merchandise off its shelves. here hillary clinton is trying to capitalize, arguing trump's plan helps radical jihadists. >> donald trump is supplying them with new propaganda. he's actually playing into their hands. >> reporter: facebook founder mark zuckerberg is speaking out in support of muslims in his community, writing "i want you to know you are always welcome here and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you." after trump lashed out at "time" magazine for snubbing him as its person of the year, "time" is striking back, taunting trump with this never before seen

blooper reel from a recent photo shoot. the billionaire dodging a bald eagle. >> that was nbc's peter alexander reporting. trump's rival ted cruz gave a foreign policy speech this morning in d.c. the texas senator told the heritage foundation that the obama administration issi ignorg the reality that america is under attack. elsewhere in the campaign trail a live look now at a west des moines, iowa, where marco rubio is holding a town hall with veterans. rubio says he's committed to veterans affairs because his older brother mario is an army veteran. and we're following a developing story in the boston area. transit officials are trying to figure out what caused a train to take off this morning without an operator. it hit a transit worker and that worker is being treated for a minor injury. the train passed several stops before workers stopped it by shutting off power to the line. no passengers were hurt.

one just spoke about when they realized there was no the one driving the train. >> it was when everything was dark, everything was stopped, and we were trying to open the doors and we couldn't and we were trying to press the buttons to the emergency room and nobody heard and the people that was on the first car were trying to knock on the door of the conductor and that's when we discovered there was nobody there. >> she said there was no indication when she first boarded the train that anything was wrong. with an initial investigation shows a safety device in the train's cab may have been tampered with. while many of us are enjoying this mild weather, it's too warm to make snow in the poconos. here's a live look at camelback mountain resort. don't see a trace of white there at all. nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast. glenn? >> they're not getting natural snow and it's too warm to make

would be a significant step forward from the less powerful atomic bomb, producing a much stronger blast. kim jong-un, north korea's supreme leader, has been on a saber rattling campaign to pressure the international community. last month, north korea staged the biggest military parade in its history, though there did not appear to be any new weapons. while a year ago, computer hackers attacked sony over its movie "the interview," a comedy about a plot to assassinate north korea's leader. the u.s. responded by imposing further sanctions on north korea. so far this morning there's no comment from the state department on this latest north korean nuclear claim. but it's being viewed with suspicion by many experted. just rhetoric, some say, the aim, perhaps, to send the message that the country will not abandon its nuclear weapons and to force the international community to recognize north korea's nuclear status something washington, of course, says it will never do. back to you. >> keir simmons reporting for
