I really get a feeling that the discrimination against Muslims will just upset existing muslims in America and elsewhere around the world. Almost 1/10 of the world population identifies with being a muslim.
I hope this doesn't backfire on trump that it creates more havoc. America is seen as the Nation of progress. It seems that is no longer the case.
- mistermann 10y agoHow many muslims did the US kill last year vs other countries?
- tyingq 10y agoNot discounting the US role in civilian death toll, but wouldn't the Syrian government be in the lead for killing Muslims?
- pfarnsworth 10y agoObama has ordered drone strikes that killed at least over 100 innocent victims in the Middle East. Not to mention the "terrorists" that he blew up. He also executed American citizens without a trial in the Middle East: he ordered a drone strike to kill a suspected terrorist leader who was an American citizen.
- cabalamat 10y ago> Almost 1/10 of the world population identifies with being a muslim According to Wikipedia, 23% of people are Muslims, somewhat higher than 1/10.
- nojvek 10y agoMy bad. I took a wild conservative guess. I guess it's 2/10. TIL. It's amazing that as a president you can openly criticise and be racist against Muslims. I somewhat predict a recession coming because trump pisses off some major nations.
- manis404 10y agoSo we need to be careful to not upset Muslims because they can hurt us? That's interesting.

- mhneu 10y agoThe real danger is that Trump's Muslim hating is not a statement of fact but a declaration of intent. Arendt wrote about this on 1930s Germany. https://storify.com/AndrewHickey/lusztig-arendt-and-trump https://storify.com/AndrewHickey/lusztig-arendt-and-trump
