CAIR Executive Director: Trump's Muslim Ban Is Wrong Because SLAVERY [VIDEO]

2017-01-31

[Daily Caller] The Council For American-Islamic Relations executive director Nihad Awad attempted to criticize President Trump’s proposed immigration ban by reminding attendees at a Monday press conference that America was "built on the shoulders of African-Americans who were brought here against their will."

"The Muslim community is a little bit anxious about the recent developments," regarding Trump’s plan for banning travel from seven, Muslim-majority countries, Awad stated. "Not only since Donald Trump became the president, but since Donald Trump announced his candidacy our community has been very concerned."

Awad claimed that "millions of people who love America... are concerned and worried about what this president is doing" before segueing into a bizarre statement on America’s founders.

No reminder about the Muslim's past and current role in the slave trade?
