Muslim Woman Gets Kicked Out Of Donald Trump Rally For Being Muslim

[Turborama]

Source: Think Progress



A Muslim woman was kicked out of a Donald Trump rally on Friday night for no apparent reason. The woman, Rose Hamid, told CNN that she “came to the rally to let Trump supporters see what a Muslim looks like.” She stood silently with a t-shirt that read “I Come In Peace.”

About halfway through the rally, held in Rock Hill, South Carolina, some people in the crowd “turned pretty ugly” toward the woman, shouting “epithets.” She was then escorted out by security.

Trump commented on Hamid as she was being ejected. “There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred,” Trump said.

Trump has stoked antipathy against Muslims by calling for a total ban on Muslim immigration into the U.S. Since making the announcement Trump’s standing in the polls has only improved.

Are his Indonesian business partners still wanting to be associated with him?

[world wide wally]

1. Damn!

I thought I was still in America.
What place is this?

[SmittynMo]

6. What place is this?

This is the place we will live in if the GOP gets their way in November. Remember that.

I suspect the end of the GOP is in the near future. This shit is not going to fly!!!!

[glinda]

15. The thought scares the crap out of me.

[AngryOldDem]

42. Exactly.

But I feel like those of us who have seen this from the start have been voices in the wilderness.

62. Specifically, South Carolina but I get your point

51. not sure how brave it is

if she walked into a muslim rally NOT wearing a hajab because she believes in choice and freedom, I would think that was brave.

[cheapdate]

57. You are dead wrong.

Walking into that rally took major courage. She could have been beaten and injured. That's not hyperbole.

Denying her courage as you've tried to do here is nothing but a worthless deflection.

[lunatica]

59. That's the dumbest answer I've seen in a long time

What connection are you making? What does one have to do with the other? See what I mean? Dumb.

[trillion]

65. Do you know how biggoted this comes off? I mean unless you also think christians shouldn't wear

crosses and Jews shouldn't wear the kippah (cap).. but even then I would call your suggestion something made out of religious-intolerance.

If you don't like hijib's I suggest you don't wear one.

This woman was brave for wearing one at a trump rally. I'm sorry I can't vote you down.

[matt819]

3. How 'bout this

A Jew attends a trump rally. Yarmulke and t-shirt with same message. Wanna bet the brown shirts will do the same thing?

Why stop there. LGBT. We already know how his sycophants feel about blacks and Hispanics. It could be dangerous but it would make for great political theater.

[safeinOhio]

31. As for LGBT issue Trump

has always and still does support gay marriage. Be more fun to watch his supporters through out gays while he tells them to stop. There goes the tea baggers. When will his repub opponents use that?

[steve2470]

33. I bet that will happen eventually, yep nt

[Trajan]

4. His business 'goodwill' is leaking like a sieve ...

This is so blatantly racist .. so unabashedly public ....

I work in a company with a management team that is considered quite conservative, ECONOMICALLY conservative ... But they are also rather cosmopolitan in their worldview, and have driven hard in the last decade to develop international relationships as they push for a more diverse workplace ... They succeed to a large degree ...

This is a major corporation ... they would NEVER tolerate such behavior from one of their own corporate officers ... NO FUCKING WAY ! ...

When Trump finally turns away from the field and slinks home to grieve his horrendous election loss ... The goodwill his business has acquired over the years will have evaporated. ... What a fucking idiot ...

23. Muslim is not a race.

[DocMac]

24. I sure hope you're here to

correct every wrong posted at DU. I dislike your post so much that I cannot speak to it at more length.

[840high]

29. Good - I don't care to hear more.

[Trajan]

25. Thanks for the correction

[Hortensis]

53. Good point, Trajan. Thought of a seriously dysfuctional president

who threatens to increase ill will toward the U.S. and markets instability must be causing business real concern.

[stone space]

26. Tell that to the next Sikh who gets attacked by one of Trumps fans.

Muslim is not a race.

[DocMac]

37. Thank you!

I swear, my patience is too thin to even come here so often. I think you are a shining star in the darkness.

[patsimp]

52. you are right and the hatred on this board for people who are speaking their minds without

any sort of swearing is no different that the hatred that woman faced. I bet that irony is lost on those sharing in anger at your post.

[Angel Martin]

38. re: His business 'goodwill' is leaking like a sieve

Agreed, this campaign has cost Trump a lot financially, even though he has not spent much money yet.

That is why I have never believed the theory that his campaign is a lark, and that he would eventually get out.

[thereismore]

5. What??? nt

[Leith]

8. Not Surprising in the Least

A lot of his support comes from stirring up bigotry & hatred and making it acceptable. All she did was make herself a convenient target.

[hibbing]

22. "political correctness"

You see his supporters say stuff like, he's not politically correct. Or, he's not afraid to say what we all want to say. In other words, he makes me comfortable with my own racism. So, this is not a surprise to me at all and will probably help him the polls for their racist base.



Peace

[dhill926]

10. jesus fucking christ....

this is unacceptable..."It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred,” Trump said. Yeah right....

[glinda]

16. says the "narcissist"....

[safeinOhio]

34. narcissist has 2 I s in

it and both are assholes.

[davidpdx]

11. The shear level of bigotry that is happening out in the open is disgusting

I have to wonder if this is what will bring Trump down.

[nruthie]

18. His people love it.

The more vile he is the happier they are.

[AngryOldDem]

43. And more media coverage he gets.

Don't forget that.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

49. His campaign is exposing what the Republican base is really like.

Hopefully, many people who usually don't vote because they think there is no difference between the parties will get off their asses and into the voting booths.

[StevieM]

20. I doubt it. Nothing he says or does, no matter how reprehensible, seems to affect GOP voters. (eom)

[nolabear]

13. I wonder if this is the beginning of passive resistance to bring him down.

I hope so, in a way, but the price may be unimaginable. That was one brave woman, and some incredible cowardice on Trump's part.

I hope to God they search the hell out of everybody who goes to those things.

[Cassiopeia]

14. Probably the safest thing for this very brave woman.

I can't imagine the personal strength it took for her to show up.

[glinda]

17. +1

[pampango]

44. Well said. She is the epitomy of courage. n/t

[BlueStater]

19. This woman is what strength really looks like.

Not that loudmouthed, orange-skinned fuckrag those morons came to see.

[williesgirl]

21. There are no words.

[Odin2005]

27. American Fascism.

[shenmue]

28. Oh for crying out loud

[zentrum]

30. This is dangerous.

Disgusting. Anti-American. Shameful. Shame on the MSM media for giving him such a platform.

[safeinOhio]

35. I have my "Mike Tyson" theory about Trump

No one could beat Mike until a 42 to 1 bet, Buster Douglas came along and figured him out. After that he had a hard time winning a fight. Someone unexpected will figure out the right button to push on Trump and that will be it.

[Bayard]

36. She could have been torn limb from limb

Look at the faces around this brave woman.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

47. What faces are those?

I see one face in the photo that appears to be checking out the Muslim couple. The rest seem to be focused on other stuff.

I don't see a threat from the crowd. It's only Trump and his hirelings that are a hazard.

[democrank]

39. Unlike Trump, Rose Hamid is a brave person with an important message.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous, morally bankrupt American presidential candidate I can recall in my 70 years.

[AngryOldDem]

41. ^^THIS^^

Trump has scared me since Day One.

[underpants]

56. It's not me! It's them!!!

[JoFerret]

60. This is true n/t

[AngryOldDem]

40. These "rallies" will turn violent at some point.

Trump is the most dangerous person running for any office who I have ever seen.

These are Nazi gatherings straight out of the 1930s. Make no mistake.

The media needs to start covering him as the true threat that he is, rather than as an entertaining celebrity.

This brave woman was lucky to leave unhurt, despite the "security escort."

[Earth_First]

45. They already have in two instances that I can recall...

One in Virginia where Trump supporters scuffled with students on immigration reform, including spitting on students as they were escorted from the building.

The second In Alabama where a supporter attempted to choke a BLM protester at the infamous 'maybe he should have been roughed up' appearance.

There may be other incidents, but these two were off the top of my head.

It's only a matter of time, though, before someone is seriously injured requiring medical attention.

[AngryOldDem]

46. I wasn't aware of those.

Especially the choking incident.

[callous taoboy]

48. Trump is dumber than a sack of hammers.

He'd have done the same thing had she worn a "Trump for president" T.

[EndElectoral]

50. Was the man next to her kicked out as well? He's wearing a yellow Muslim sticker.

[NickB79]

54. "It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred,” Trump said. "

To the middle-aged woman wearing an "I come in peace" shirt.

Once again, Trump out-Onion's the Onion.

[lark]

55. Yet there are Bernie supporters who say they will vote for him over Hillary.

Totally crazy and self destructive.

[JoFerret]

61. And vice versa. Lot's of odd folks in the world

Fortunately we Dems know that we can get behind whoever wins the nomination.

[TomCADem]

58. The Taunts As She Was Being Escorted Out Were Ugly

Yet, this could raise Trump in the polls...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/08/politics/donald-trump-muslim-woman-protesting-ejected/

Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well.

As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.

"The ugliness really came out fast and that's really scary," Hamid told CNN in a phone interview after she was ejected.

Major Steven Thompson of the Rock Hill Police Department told CNN Hamid was kicked out of the event because the campaign told him beforehand that "anybody who made any kind of disturbance" should be escorted out.

[NobodyHere]

63. She wasn't kicked out for being a muslim

The woman and her companions were kicked out because of their "silent protest".


If she was kicked out for being muslim then why would they let her in in the first place?

[trillion]

64. Just like white supremacists saying the blacks and Mexicans are racists since they can't call them

racist names, he calls a peaceful Muslim hateful, after his supporters yell hate speech at her.

[trillion]

66. Hamid said one supporter of the billionaire real-estate mogul bawled at her: "You have a bomb, you

have a bomb."
