It is worth watching the CNN clip that is embedded on that page. Basically, a Muslim woman and (I presume) her husband went to the Trump rally in South Carolina. She had a shirt with "Salam, I come in peace" written on it. Both she and the man had yellow stars on that said "Muslim". When Trump was talking about Syrian refugees, they stood up, but didn't say anything. People in the crowd started shouting epithets at them and police escorted them out. Meanwhile, Trump was going on about "they hate us". Unless he is a Muslim, he has that backwards.

In this case, things are exactly as they appear. Two Muslims were evicted from a Trump rally for doing nothing but standing up silently while Trump supporters yelled epithets. Trump supporters in this forum also hate Muslims, so they agree with the eviction. What do you think is being wrongly reported?

Very interesting how Trump supporters (Trumpets?) here are justifying this because of what happened in Europe. Categorically accusing all members of a religion of certain negative traits and encouraging prejudice against them has a historical precedence if I recall. I think it even had some connection to Trump's German ancestry.

Two Muslims and a Jew?  Or one Muslim and a Jew? Or two activists?
