Trump Rally "Turns Ugly" on Muslim Couple

[Anonymous]

I don't like Trump or his rhetoric.

However, if nothing else, the yellow star of David on the clothing of Muslims, is somewhat ironic. Does anyone on this forum not believe that they got exactly what they wanted?

Based on what we see from Trump supporters, a lot of hatred of Muslims is being taught at home.

Obviously, the stars were specifically chosen to make a point. We have no idea of knowing what they wanted, but we do know that Trump rallies are filled with Islamophobes. Trump could easily issue an apology and clarify that he has no issues with law-abiding Muslims in the US. But, of course, that is not his style and the style of his supporters is to justify, rather than apologize for, Islamophobia.

Check your history, folks...

"First, Trump came for the Mexicans. But I did not speak out, because I am not Mexican.

Then, Trump came for the Black activists. But I did not speak out, because I am not Black.

Then, Trump came for the Muslims. But I did not speak out, because I am not Muslim.

Then, Trump came for me. And there was nobody left to speak out for me."

Sound familiar? It echoes Pastor Martin Niemoller, who famously spoke of what happened in Germany under Hitler.

I just don't understand how people can look at what's happened (and is happening) in Europe wrt Muslim immigration and want that for the US. I don't. If that's "Islamophobia" so be it.

This is the United States of America. We do not base immigration policies or any other policies on religion.

Plain and simple bottom line.

Hundred percent.i believe in facts. I don't believe in embracing tons of people whose culture teaches them to hate women, gays, Christians, Jews.

First of all, we are talking about the two people who were at the Trump rally and how Trump and his supporters responded to him. You have no idea what their beliefs about women, gays, Christians, and Jews are. You are simply applying negative stereotypes to them, which is classic racism. I am not sure why you feel the need to defect this discussion to other topics.

But, in response to your deflection, what you describe is a misrepresentation of the culture. There are Americans who hate women, gays, Jews, and Muslims. But, we don't assume that all Americans have such beliefs. You are allowing your opinions to be influenced by negative stereotypes that are spread and encouraged by hate-mongers.

Maybe he doesn't want to be Jewish anymore, but he's stuck.

If you block my view because you feel like standing, you need to move. Sorry.

Here's Trump's view on marriage equality:
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/george-takei-donald-trump-marriage-equality_5594014fe4b0569b63402c61

Not very loving of gays. But how is you overlooked that in the candidate himself but judged two Muslims attendees instead?

Muslims don't hate gays. Islam does not permit homosexuality but its mischaracterizing to say it follows that they hate homosexuals.

Which mosque in the DC area can a gay Muslim be part of?
