Arsalan Iftikhar (Senior Editor for The Islamic Monthly) discusses an American Muslim woman who was kicked out of a January 2016 campaign rally for Donald Trump with CNN International.
ARSALAN IFTIKHAR (The Islamic Monthly): “In the past few months…Donald Trump has called for banning all Muslims & requiring special ID’s for Muslims…I’ve always said that if you can replace the word ‘Muslims’ with ‘Jews’ & sound like a Nazi…You probably shouldn’t say it…Even Dick Cheney has called Donald Trump out on his anti-Muslim rhetoric…So when Darth Vader himself calls you out on your rhetoric…You know that you’ve crossed the line…”
ARSALAN IFTIKHAR (The Islamic Monthly): “Donald Trump has been an equal opportunity offender…He has said that Mexicans are rapists…He has sent out Internet memes that have been supported by white supremacists and neo-Nazis against African-Americans…But his anti-Muslim rhetoric is reaching alarming levels…Under Donald Trump…It seems as though he is trying to turn our country into the United States of Islamophobia”
