Doing some research here. Can anyone tell me when Trump made these anti-Muslim remarks during the campaign?

There are citizens of the United States born under other flags who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crushed out. They are infinitely malignant and the hand of our power should close over them at once.

Those remarks are pretty general. The speaker may have had a specific group or groups in mind, but in this excerpt didn't vocalize it. The manner in which that statement is articulated isn't very Trump either.

Google pulls up a Washington Post article that credits Woodrow Wilson with that quote. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Entertaining; I've never seen President Trump that articulate. The quotes are from President Wilson in 1915, and refer the the German spy and sabotage rings discovered earlier that year.

I haven't heard of any Muslims sabotaging or attempting to sabotage US munitions plants and shipments recently, but I'm sure there's relevance.

Here's how that would have sounded if it came from Trump: There are bad people born in our country, really bad people, who are really from other countries, bad countries.....really bad countries. These bad people have to be taken out. They are bad, and we are good.....and so we must use our power to end them! They are not real Americans. America first!

Way too many big words for Trump.

As others pointed out not Trump, Woodrow Wilson instead. If course Wilson was speaking to German sympathsers in time of war, and not Germans in general. But if you want American examples of broad brushes against a particular group of people by the POTUS, no problem. Here are some "good" examples or some pretty repugnant presidential quotes:

“I have a strong feeling of repugnance when I think of the Negro being made our political equal. And I would be glad if they could be colonized, sent to heaven, or got rid of in any decent way.”

or maybe this one:

“A perfectly stupid race can never rise to a very high plane; the negro for instance, has been kept down as much by a lack of intellectual development as much as anything else.”

or this one:

“I went (I'm censoring this word that starts with N) chasing on Monday. Right through Central Africa: Vine St. There was no trace of that Nelson (Censoring same N word as before).”

Ugh... I'd rather not go back there.

I'm Sure that there are those that won't view these words as Racist and Those that accept his Half Truths with Statistics as Facts but I believe this to be Pure Unadulterated Racism.

MSgt George Cater He did not say them...once again, taken out of context. Left wing media putting words into his mouth.

Sgt MAys, the f left wing media did not say he said them, a poster on this page implied that he said them and the poster is decidedly not left wing,

The words were a direct quote from a different president, who was perhaps the only president in Tyre lasts 150 years more of a bigot than Trump. Nothing was taken out of context at all,

In context and in reality your post is decidedly a strafe response to a Woodrow Wilson quote/

I guess we've come full circle now. A decidely right wing RP poster, no longer satisfied with reposting fake shit from right wing websites (because they are so easy to recognize) now creates his own fake posts in an attempt to trick more moderate posters into responding. But they quickly point out that the quote is written using the vocabulary and syntax of an educated intelligent man, and everyone agrees that means it couldn't have come from Trump. Then to cap it off, another right wing poster chimes in to blame the leftist media for attributing the quote to Trump, which of course, it didnt.

Had nothing to do with Muslims....

Woodrow Wilson, December 1915.
From the same passage:

"But the ugly and incredible thing has actually come about and we are without adequate federal laws to deal with it. I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in doing so I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty, and anarchy must be crushed out. They are not many, but they are infinitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have formed plots to destroy property, they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the Government, they have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the Government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with.

I wish that it could be said that only a few men, misled by mistaken sentiments of allegiance to the governments under which they were born, had been guilty of disturbing the self-possession and misrepresenting the temper and principles of the country during these days of terrible war, when it would seem that every man who was truly an American would instinctively make it his duty and his pride to keep the scales of judgment even and prove himself a partisan of no nation but his own. But it cannot. There are some men among us, and many resident abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling themselves Americans, have so forgotten themselves and their honor as citizens as to put their passionate sympathy with one or the other side in the great European conflict above their regard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice disloyalty. No laws, I suppose, can reach corruptions of the mind and heart; but I should not speak of others without also speaking of these and expressing the even deeper humiliation and scorn which every self-possessed and thoughtfully patriotic American must feel when he thinks of them and of the discredit they are daily bringing upon us."

I personally pick and choose my battles. There's good and bad and everything and everyone. I was told by an old sergeant major back in 1987 yes, I'm dating myself just a bit. However, "If you look long enough and hard enough you can always find something wrong with someone or something".
