‘Donald Trump totally thinks I’m a Muslim’: Atheist hammers Trump on proposed Muslim ban
“What would your reaction be if Hillary Clinton said the same thing about Christian immigrants following the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado,” Mehta implored. “Which non-white Christian group will you want to ban next? Do you realize how much other countries are making fun of us? Do you realize how much other countries are horrified by us?”
Mehta also asked a key question. How would anyone know if someone trying to enter the U.S. is Muslim or not? He wanted to know how Trump’s immigration officials would know the difference between Muslims and people of other faiths, or even how they’d know whether people were being truthful.
He also pointed out that Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric only bolsters terrorist groups like ISIS by alienating Muslim people and fomenting toxic rhetoric.
“Is Muslim just code for brown people?” Mehta asked. “Am I a Muslim? Donald Trump totally thinks I’m a Muslim.”
