He posted the tweet after White House hopeful Trump said he would be open to the idea of introducing special ID cards for American Muslims.

The tweet from ProudAmericanMuslim was shared and favourited by more than 10,000 Twitter users just a few hours after it was posted.

He explained he served in the US Marine Corps for five years from 1997-2002, adding: "Once a marine always a marine."

Messages of support have flooded in for the former marine online, with many thanking him for his service.

 In an interview with Yahoo Politics, Mr Trump said he had ‘big plans’ for dealing with ‘radical Islamic terrorists’.

"We're going to have to do things we never did before," the frontrunner explained.

"And some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling security is going to rule."

The businessman added that, "certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy".
