At last year’s Rio Olympics, America fielded its first hijab-wearing Muslim athlete. The fencer, Ibtihaj Muhammad, gained prominence for her religion but stayed visible through a series of anti-American statements. Muhammad may have represented the United States on the world’s biggest stage, but don’t confuse that for a sense of patriotism.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Muhammad once complained about living in the United States. According to the athlete, she feels ”unsafe” in the US and blames racism for her sense of fear while walking through New York City. When asked about Donald Trump, she said ”I don’t know who that is.”
Despite this, Mohammed was nearly chosen to carry the American flag during the Rio Olympics’ opening ceremonies. In a vote among her peers, she placed second to Michael Phelps. CNN published a piece that claimed Phelps didn’t deserve to carry the flag because, in so many words, he’s a ‘tall, successful, rich, white guy’
It’s unclear whether her fellow athletes were aware of Mohammed’s penchant for anti-American rants when they made their choice.
Watch as Mohammad attacks Trump’s call for a safe America on the next page:
If you’re not satisfied with all the help you miserable basses receive here in the United States you should have no complaints whatsoever if your way of life is not accepted in the United States it is only because it is not within our constitution so therefore my only advice to you would be your not satisfy this country immediately before you thrown out, I am sick and tired of your Muslims and your Sharia law once and for all it does not belong in the United States.
Why stay here if you feel unsafe. Go home.
go the f**k back where you came from
She loves those people so much . Go live with them dumb mf
Why doesn’t this damn fool go to a Muslim Country where she can really feel safe cause some 60 year old will own her.
Send the Muslim back to where she belongs! No respect from her, she has no say here!
This is America, our country, go to the country that honors and practices your beliefs, I donot believe that you belong here!!!
I second that Barb!
She supports Shania law. See how loud she screams if she gets raped, which is allowed under Shania law. She wants both worlds & that’s not happening in America. NO Sharia!
