Area Muslims call Trump retweets an ‘assault’




Muslims attacking Christians with Rape, Assault, Murder. Women killed for honor. Slaves brought in from Africa. Gays thrown off of roofs. Minorities burned alive in cages. Appendages amputated for minor crimes.
Christian Genocide in the Middle East has been underway for years and the media remains silent!
Muslim Imams speak daily on the hatred of the Jews. "Death To Israel!!"

THESE ARE THE REAL ASSAULTS !! How about you speaking up against those?

When you speak of Islam, don't ignore the muslims of the Arab world. They are a far cry from the muslims in America.


Metro Detroit Muslim leaders and activists, roiled by President Trump’s retweets of anti-Muslim videos, rebuked him Wednesday, calling the tweets nativist, exploitative and an “international assault.”
“Yes, it’s just a tweet, 280 characters, (but) the impact of these tweets and rhetoric is felt on the ground in Dearborn, in Michigan, where the largest concentration of Muslim- and Arab-Americans has been made to live in full fear,” said Ahmad Abuznaid, director of ACCESS’ National Network for Arab American Communities in Dearborn.
Trump did not offer any explanation for why he retweeted the inflammatory videos on Wednesday posted by a far-right group that purport to show a “Muslim migrant” assaulting a Dutch boy, an “Islamist mob” pushing a teen off a roof and a Muslim man destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders later defended his early morning posts, saying he wants to “promote strong borders and strong national security.”
Others in Metro Detroit said they had an explanation.
“This administration has a track record of exploiting politics of fear,” said the ACLU in a statement. “These aren’t just retweets, they are part of a calculated effort to justify discrimination against Muslims,” according to the statement. "We all have a responsibility to challenge speech and actions from our elected officials that single our community members out based solely on their religion or heritage.”
Abuznaid said if the tweets were about border protection, Trump seemed to be implying that Muslims were the “root cause to terrorism.”
“It’s absolutely not about border protection,” said Abuznaid. “They only serve one purpose — to instigate more propaganda and Islamophobia. This is a moment for us to take very seriously that the threat is coming from the White House.”
He said he wasn’t shocked when he saw the retweeted videos, but that it should be recognized as an “international assault.”
Condemnation came from many quarters. Some questioned why they don’t hear from the president when reported hate crimes involving Muslims surface. Others said they feared Trump deliberately was stoking the same anti-Muslim fears he fanned on the campaign trail.
“What may be worse than the deeply disappointing act itself is the astonishing justification given by his press secretary that this was done to start a conversation regarding border security,” said Imam Ibrahim Kazerooni of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, reportedly the largest mosque in the United States.
Fiana Arbab, who formerly served as University of Michigan Dearborn’s student body president, now is a board member of the Michigan Student Power Network and Michigan organizer for Know Your IX, said she was fearful and angry after seeing the videos.
