Will Trump Ban Muslims From Entering United States Is Widely Debated
A third Muslim woman wrote: “My husband just yelled at me for wearing hijab”.
Donald Trump’s proposal to prohibit foreign Muslims from entering America was amongst his most controversial announcements, which helped him firm his campaign for the primaries.
Washington-As Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, a controversial policy statement banning Muslims from the USA appears to have been removed, The Independent reported.
In November 2015, Trump called for “a complete and total shutdown” of Muslim immigration into the United States. Khizr Khan criticized Trump in a speech at the Democratic National Convention, during which he brandished a pocket constitution and asked Trump if he had read it. Trump responded that Khizr Khan delivered the entire speech because his wife, Ghazala, was not “allowed” to speak.
“Working together we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream”, said Trump.
“Is there a difference between requiring Muslims to register and Jews in Nazi Germany?”
In 2011, NDTV reported that Trump had called for an immediate pull-back on aid to Pakistan unless it did away with its nuclear weapons.
Many feared Mr Trump’s victory, which has been applauded by members of the Klu Klux Klan, could see an increase in racism and hate crime.
Last month Vice President-elect Mike Pence said Trump is no longer sticking to the campaign statement for a ban on Muslims.
The day after Donald Trump became president-elect of the United States, social media was flooded with reports of racist celebrations and assaults.
There were also reports of Trump supporters being targeted by ugly rhetoric and worse.
Tahir Ashrafi, a senior Pakistani government cleric, said: ‘We hope that Trump’s remarks against Muslims were only to boost his campaign and he will realise that Muslims are a large population in the U.S’. “We know nothing about their values and we know nothing about their love for our country”, Trump said during the second presidential debate. His victory was seen as one of the biggest political upsets in American history and stroke fear in millions of Muslims around the world. But Islamophobia isn’t a new thing ― it’s been a very present part of the Muslim experience in America at least since 9/11. And Muslim representative Keith Ellison retained his congressional seat in Minnesota’s 5th district.
