Muslim woman sent packing from Donald Trump's campaign for contradicting him on islam


A Muslim woman was sent packing from a Donald Trump campaign event in Rock Hill, South Carolina after standing up in silent protest against the Republican presidential hopeful’s views that Syrian refugees had links with Islamic State (ISIS).

The 56-year-old Rose Hamid, the founder and president of the Muslim Women of the Carolinas, had gone to the event with the hope of changing the perception of many supporters of the frontline campaign.
She had positioned herself directly behind the candidate, decked in a hijab and a shirt with the inscription: “salam, I come in peace”.

However, after standing up in protest at Trump’s argument that Syrian refugees be banned from entering the United States because they were members of ISIS, Hamid was escorted out of the building by police.

As she left, many Trump supporters booed her, with one calling after Hamid: “You have a bomb, you have a bomb.”

When she was finally escorted out, Trump said, “There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred.”

But, Hamid, who was raised in the US by a Colombian mother and a Palestinian father, said she did not have any resentment towards the supporters, but said she blamed Trump’s hate speech during his campaigns as responsible for the way his supporters now behave.
