British Muslim MP Quotes Quran and Invites Trump For Curry
Labour's Naz Shah branded the White House hopeful a "demagogue" as MPs discussed whether to ban him from Britain.
She also invited him to a meal in her constituency, Bradford West, in a bid to "challenge" his controversial stance on Islam.
The billionaire sparked fury when he called for every Muslim to be barred from entering the US last month.
In a three-hour debate about the billionaire, Ms Shah said: "I stand here as a proud British Muslim woman. Donald Trump would like me banned from America."
But she handed Mr Trump an "open invitation" to enjoy a curry in Bradford, the "curry capital of Britain".
She also offered to visit synagogues, churches and mosques in her constituency, a Labour safe seat, with the Republican candidate.
Ms Shah added: "In my Islam and the ground I understand, in Surah [Chapter] 41 and verse 34 it teaches that goodness is better than evil.
"If someone does bad, you do good in return. I will not allow the rhetoric of badness into my life, into my heart, or that of my constituents.
"What I will do is challenge that with goodness because hatred breeds hate - and that is not something that I will tolerate."
Monday's debate was called after more than 570,000 people signed a petition entitled "Block Donald J Trump from UK entry”.
