I Went to a Trump Rally in my Hijab. His Supporters Aren't Just Racist Caricatures

After Rose Hamid’s horrifying experience at Trump’s rally on Friday in South Carolina, many people might wonder how I survived a Trump rally wearing a bright-orange headscarf while holding a giant Qur’an – or why I went at all.

I went because I firmly believe that Hamid was on the right path: it is important for people to stand up peacefully for the right things, even if we are confronted with physical and verbal intimidation. It is important to give people that may not have ever met or interacted with a Muslim an opportunity to meet her and learn about Islam from someone that actually practices it. And it it important, at a time when people like me too often face discrimination and hatred living our daily lives, to be polite, and yet be visible and present when we are the subject of political speeches.

Enough with the Islam uber Alles supporters.

Doesn’t fit narrative.
Wont make the MSM.

Unless of course they snatch half lines and ignore the writer’s conclusions.

[Williams]

So she opposes bombing the ISIS killers?

[Moonman62]

(apparently, the desire to kill people is considered trendy fashion at a Trump rally)

...

So that’s how she interprets Bomb the Hell out of ISIS? Deport her now!

[manc]

frigging drama queen who is seeking more attention whilst playing the victim.

[Williams]

If we are going to turn this into an Islamic country, it’s over. Why are we even considering bringing a lot of Muslims here?

[Chode]

did you post your analysis on the Persian piracy from WRSA here yet???

[CivilWarBrewing]

"where he loudly announced that he was selling 'Bomb The Hell Out Of Isis' T-shirts (apparently, the desire to kill people is considered trendy fashion at a Trump rally)"

She slipped. She is an ISIS SUPPORTER!!

"I went because I firmly believe that Hamid was on the right path: it is important for people to stand
up peacefully for the right things, even if we are confronted with physical and verbal intimidation."

THE TRUTH:

"I went because I wanted to rub Islam in their Christian faces and see if I couldn't create a disturbance,
get a reaction and maybe even push a few infidels to violence that would make it to the network news."

[CivilWarBrewing]

In part, the left wants to import more terrorists who commit mass murders with guns so as to build justification for their gun grab agenda.

[mojito]

This is almost level-headed, especially for a Guardian article, which is the paper of record for Britain's moonbats, communists and America-haters.

Islam is not a race, dumbass.

It is important to give people that may not have ever met or interacted with a Muslim an opportunity to meet her and learn about Islam from someone that actually practices it.

Then kindly provide the religious justification for your ignoring what the koran actually SAYS.
