In an August 2016 radio interview, Nehlen suggested that the United States should "have a discussion" about the possibility of deporting Sharia-adherent Muslims living in the country.{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/04/politics/paul-nehlen-deport-muslims-paul-ryan/index.html|title=Ryan challenger seeks debate on deporting all Muslims|author=Tom LoBianco|website=CNN|access-date=August 6, 2016}} The remark occurred when Nehlen was asked about his thoughts regarding the dispute between 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of Humayun Khan, an American Muslim Army captain who died in a suicide bombing while serving in Iraq in 2004. During the interview, Nehlen also said that every mosque in the United States should be monitored for signs of potential radicalization.{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/paul-ryans-primary-opponent-asks-muslims-country/story?id=41127351|title=Ryan's Primary Opponent: 'Why Do We Have Muslims in the Country?'|date=August 5, 2016|work=ABC News|access-date=August 6, 2016}}
