I am a Muslim American.
A few months ago, Donald Trump announced his intention to ban Muslims
from entering the United States.
Following Trump's historic win in the Republican New Hampshire primary
on Tuesday, his intention to ban Muslims also took a step closer to reality.
Trump's prejudice is representative of a dangerous sentiment in the
Republican Party, echoed by other Presidential candidates and adopted
by party rank and file. It's a sentiment filled with hate, anger and racism.
I am the son of Indian immigrants. Hardworking parents that came to this
country for a better life. Through their hard work, they provided me opportunities that they only
dreamed of.
This is the promise of America, and this is the promise we must keep alive
for future generations of all faiths.
Can you join me in denouncing Trump’s racism?
We are a country of different faiths, bound by a belief that our differences
only make us stronger -- and that together, we can build a better America.
I'm asking you for your help, not as a Muslim -- but as a son, a husband,
and as an American.
Let’s denounce Trump, together.
Thank you,
