Trump didn't invent anti-Muslim sentiment, though his campaign has been fueled by it.


No it was invented by 911, Ft Hood, Boston Marathon, San Bernardino and on and on.

Because if you have Islamophobia, it will turn them into terrorists, which will then be your fault. :/

In other words, we are to bow down in submission and accept everything this new voting block tells us to do.

Why don’t these people stay in their own sh!thole nirvanas instead of coming to the States, and telling us, who made this country into what attracted them in the first place, how they think things should be run. Other cultures be damned. If you don’t like it here leave.

Wait! What? Oh yeah, you’ve figured out a better gig in that you’ll shoot your mouths off as an aggrieved party and pander to and sell your vote to the highest bidder.

These big-mouthed foreigners make me puke.

Bingo. Bynow, looking at Europe and the rest of te world, civilization needs to scrutinize any Muslim who tries to cross our borders before letting them in.

“So start the conversation within your community about how to support Muslim-Americans when they are most vulnerable.”

Sure, bring the foolishnes that led to repeated attempts at genocide in South Asia here with you. Seems that there is little understanding here of the creation of Pakistan (and Bangladesh...East Pakistan). Some creeds are inherently violent and expansionist, if such creeds are ever “vulnerable” that is merely an excellent opportunity to stomp them out before they can metasticize and destroy you.

I read the comments. Not one is seeing the world through this tool’s sharia-colored glasses. Imagine that from the Bay area, too. And one commenter was India ( or South Asian like the author has described himself) and he’s debunking this propoganda.

Here is my favorite:

Bill Clinton took millions in money from a special “educational
foundation” that pushes Sharia law — the basic law of Islam — around
the world. “Why would Bill Clinton be participating in programs that teach
Sharia in foreign countries where that is the specific objective of the
Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, and al-Qaida,”. Stephen Coughlin, a
counterterrorism expert, wondered in an interview with the Daily Caller, which first reported the story.
It’s a good question. The former president took some $5.6 million
total from 2012 through 2014 from Dubai-based GEMS Education, which runs
51 Sharia schools in the Mideast having some 250,000 students. It has
schools in other countries and regions, including Asia, the United
Kingdom, Africa and even Chicago, which has two schools. As the Daily
Caller reports, GEM uses one-eighth of the proceeds of its schools “to
fund Islamic Jihad.”

Hillary has taken millions from the Saudi’s, known to be the largest funding machine of Muslim terrorism in the Middle East. It’s is also no secret that those who attacked us on 9/11, were Saudi’s. Bill and Hillary are so wrapped up in Islam, it is beyond treason. Now the dots are starting to connect about Abedin, whose family has been longtime members of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

My area is awash with Indians,Sri Lankans,etc. and they are doing just fine.

A hard working,successful group of people.

There is always someone in journalism trying to stir up the pot.

Can you explain why the Khan Family is not angry with the Islamic Terrorists who Killed their Son?

But are Angry at Donald Trump for Wanting to Keep Islamic Terrorists Out of the U.S.?

Islam created the anti-muslim sentiment by following the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book.

People naturally have an aversion to being beheaded, burned alive, beaten, raped, or enslaved.

I wish they’d quit calling it islamophobia. It’s islamo-revulsion.

Sure, Hindus and Buddhists should “build bridges” to people whose co-religionist ancestors killed their forbears by the hundreds of millions and have every intention to repeat the exercise. Every time I read insanity like this I move a little closer to paraphrasing Shakespeare ... “First thing we do, let’s kill all the Liberals”.

In South Bay (Silicon Valley), last Tuesday primary Democrat Ro Khanana got more votes than Mike Honda (incumbent). Ro proudly mentions Trump endorsement. Ro will win 17th District.

Careful scrutiny of just who comes in here from Muslim countries in an era of out of control Islamic terrorism is now Islamophobia.
