Trump’s America: As Welcoming as Ever

One of the dominant themes to emerge during last year’s presidential campaign was that Donald Trump posed a clear and present threat to Muslims in America. Both before and since his election, the news has been full of stories featuring Muslims who fear for their safety and well-being.

The odd thing is that many of the reports of violence have been wholly contrived.

There was the 18-year-old Muslim-American woman in New York City who claimed that a group of Trump supporters attacked her in December. She told police she was harassed on the subway and that her assailants tried to steal her hijab. She later confessed to having made the entire thing up.

Another example occurred at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where a student admitted to lying when she alleged that two men, one wearing a Trump hat, shouted obscenities at her, struck her with a metal object, knocked her down, and stole her wallet and hijab. Again, it was later revealed that the woman made up the story.

Then there’s the case of Ibtihaj Muhammad, who is known as the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal. She claimed after Trump’s inauguration that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents had recently detained her for two hours without explanation.

This prompted numerous stories about how an American hero was detained as a result of President Trump’s immigration order, which temporarily barred citizens from seven countries infested by terrorists into the U.S. Then the truth came out:

Muhammad clarified that she was detained under the Obama administration.

The problem with all of these stories is that the media didn’t report the update -- the truth -- as vigorously as they did the original story, which was fake news.

We welcome law abiding, productive IMMIGRANTS willing to become a part of our continuing experiment in the proposition that men and women are capable of governing ourselves. We will exclude, remove and deport anyone yearning to live free; who thinks they can break our laws with impunity; or expects us to change to reflect the failed societies they fled. Any foreigners demanding these things from us can return to their place of origin and make it better as it suits them, as we did here.
