Muslims and refugees are full human beings, not people to be shunned, banned, and cast out to be swallowed up by oceans and wars.

 

Indicted for Crimes Against Muslims

What they have done:

• Trump’s Muslim Travel Ban is largely in effect, barring almost everyone from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. Source
• The number of refugees allowed entry to the U.S. from targeted Muslim majority countries has significantly declined. The U.S. admitted only 11 Syrian refugees and 36 Iraqi refugees in the first four months of 2018. Source
• Between October 2017 and May 2018, only about 2,100 Muslim refugees from all countries have been let in—about 10% of the rate before Trump. Source
• Exemptions from Trump’s Muslim Travel Ban are nearly impossible to get, including for people seeking to reunite with children, spouses, and parents facing illness and death. A query of 30 immigration lawyers and major advocates nationwide turned up only 25 known waiver recipients. Source
• Trump repeatedly and falsely claimed that he personally saw “thousands and thousands” of people in a largely Muslim Arab area of New Jersey cheer the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. He has never retracted or apologized for his lie. Source
• Trump has packed his cabinet and West Wing with extreme anti-Muslim advisors. For example, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo once said, “The threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer.” Source Source
• Trump said nothing when a 17-year-old abaya-wearing Muslim girl, Nabra
  Hassanen, was kidnapped after leaving a Virginia mosque and battered to
  death with a metal bat. Source

What they said they will do:

• During his campaign, Trump called for a “complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the country.” Source
• Trump refused to rule out creating a registry for all Muslims. Source
• John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Jeff Sessions and other members of Trump’s team have ties to an extreme anti-Islam group whose leader advocates reclassifying Islam as an ideology rather than a religion, thus stripping Muslims of Constitutional protections under freedom of religion. Source
• National Security Advisor John Bolton’s Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz co-authored a paper which called for revoking the citizenship of American Muslims who follow Islamic law. Source

What they have unleashed

• In 2017,14 states introduced anti-Sharia law bills; Texas and Arkansas are enacting bills. In addition to inciting Islamophobia, these laws could prohibit activities of Muslims ranging from fasting during religious holidays to getting married in their religious tradition. Source Source
• A candidate for governor in Michigan claims his rival is part of a Muslim plot to start a “civilization jihad.” A South Dakota State Senator described Islam as “a hateful and deadly ideology.” Source Source
• Trump appointed a spokesman for the federal agency in charge of millions of Americans in volunteer services who had a record of anti-Muslim tirades, including: “Go back to your Muslim shithold and go crap in your hands and bang little boys… I just don’t like Muslim people.” He kept his post as until early 2018. Source
• Anti-Muslim extremists rallied in dozens of cities across the country in June 2017 in what they called a “March Against Sharia,” a significant leap in the normalization of anti-Muslim bigotry. Source
• The number of hate crimes against Muslims in the first half of 2017 spiked 91% compared to the first half of 2016. There were 66 attacks on mosques in the U.S. in that period—compared to 84 for the whole of last year. Anti-Muslim hate crimes for 2017 rose 15 percent. Source
• A University of Warwick study reveals that “Trump’s Tweets on Islam-related topics are highly correlated with anti-Muslim hate crime.” Source
• In March 2018, two Arizona women broke into a Mosque, destroyed property, unleashed hateful lies about Muslims and the Islam religion and live-streamed the whole attack on Facebook. Source
• A Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon, murdered two men in 2017 who came to the aid of women he was threatening because one wore a hijab. He shouted, “Muslims should die.” It took Trump 4 days to tweet that the attack was “unacceptable.” Source
• A woman walking on a Milwaukee street in 2017 was confronted by a man who pulled up to her in a car, demanded that she remove her hijab, pulled her to the ground, and slashed at her clothes with a knife. Source
• In August, a bomb exploded at Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota, as people were preparing for morning prayers. A Muslim cemetery in Castle Township, Minnesota, was vandalized with swastikas and graffiti saying “leave u r dead.” Source Source
