Miss Puerto Rico Suspended For Criticizing Islam

Although many were upset by Miss Puerto Rico’s comments about Muslims, just as many are concerned about the precedent of her being suspended for expressing her own personal opinions. After all, Moore freely expressed his in front of Trump Tower, so why shouldn’t she get to in a public space like Twitter?

“‘Islamic god is NOT the same God of the Christians & the Jews,’ the 20-year-old wrote in one of several tweets directed to Moore, in screenshots collected by the New York Daily News.

‘[T]here’s no comparison between Jews, Christians & Muslims. Jews nor Christians have terrorizing agendas in their sacred books,’ Vélez wrote in another tweet. Another read: ‘[A]ll what Muslims have done is provided oil & terrorize this country & many others.’

The Miss Puerto Rico Organization quickly issued a statement suspending the stunner from competition indefinitely.

‘In regards to Miss Puerto Rico, Destiny Velez’s, recent actions and conduct; the Miss Puerto Rico Organization feels that her words do not represent the integrity and esteem of our program, nor that of our board members, our sponsors and partners, or the National Organization,’ the group said in a statement on its Facebook page.”
