ARSALAN IFTIKHAR (The Islamic Monthly): “Sadly…Islamophobia has become an accepted form of xenophobia & racism in America today…There was a public opinion poll which showed that 33% of registered Republicans in Iowa believe that Islam should be illegal in America today…There have been over 350 mass shootings in America this year & 99% of them have not been committed by Muslims…Just like terrorism is un-Islamic…Islamophobia is un-American”
ARSALAN IFTIKHAR (The Islamic Monthly): “Donald Trump has called for a special database & special ID’s for American Muslims…I wonder if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali & Dave Chappelle- all Muslims- will need to register in this database & would these Muslim ID’s be similar to the yellow Stars of David that many Jewish people had to wear in Nazi Germany…We’re entering into very fascistic talk from the likes of Donald Trump especially when it comes to Muslims here in the United States”
