CAIR: Trump’s Immigration Ban is Equivalent to Slavery


WASHINGTON — The executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Wednesday that refusing to accept Muslim refugees is the moral equivalent of slavery.

CAIR held a press conference in anticipation of executive orders from President Donald Trump to limit refugee entry from several Muslim-majority countries, block federal funds from sanctuary cities and start construction of a wall on America’s southern border.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, called the proposed border wall a “multi-billion dollar monument to racism.” Awad went on to say that President Trump’s proposal has nothing to do with national security and is strictly an “Islamophobic” proposal.

The argument that Trump’s actions are “Islamophobic” doesn’t seem to hold up when you consider that the world’s largest Muslim countries are not included in the ban. It’s a ban on terror, not Islam. Anyone who says otherwise is simply trying to land a political attack and undermine the president’s job plan to combat terror. For some, that’s more important than security.
