Lindsey Graham apologizes to Muslims for Trump’s Islamophobic Comments in Debate
Moore invited all like-minded Americans to sign the “We Are All Muslim” statement on his website and post a photo of them bearing a sign that said the same on social media.
“I was struck by how you, a self-described tough guy from Queens, seemed like such a fraidey-cat”, Moore wrote. That bogeyman, in your mind, are all Muslims. The question, worded differently than the one in the Pew poll, found that 28% of Americans thought that “mainstream Islam encourages violence against non-Muslims” while 54% called it a “peaceful religion”. “And not the people who want you leading their country”, he went on.
In a Facebook post, accompanied with a picture of Moore in front of Trump Tower in NY with a placard reading “We Are All Muslims”, the director wrote that the statements by Trump were “made in depression and insanity”. I was raised to believe that we are all each other’s brother and sister, regardless of race, creed or colour.
Trump has previously called for Muslims to be banned from coming to the U.S. because of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
The filmmaker then asked Trump to “leave the rest of us alone so we can elect a real president who is both compassionate and strong”.
“Say no to Trump” and “Dump Trump”, read placards held by some of the demonstrators outside iconic Trump Tower.
‘We started holding our protests in July, when Trump said Mexicans were drug dealers, criminals and rapists, ‘ one of the demonstrators, Jaime Gonzalez, 34-year-old, said.
“I would like to see the Republican Party come together, and I’ve been a little bit divisive in the sense of hitting people hard”, the GOP frontrunner said.
In the first question for Trump, he was asked if his plans for isolation were a good idea.
