Islamophobia won resoundingly tonight. Instead of the first
female president, the United States got its first Islamophobia president.
Trump
won because he was willing to deliver Islamophobia in the blatant and brazen
terms his Republican peers and predecessors would not fully commit to.
Instead
of adopting George W Bush's or Mitt Romney's cautious Islamophobia, or Barack Obama or Hillary
Clinton's exclusive mention of Muslims from the lens of national security
policy - Trump went all the way.
Instead
of "Islam is peace", Trump declared that, "Islam hates us",
giving disaffected bigoted voters exactly what they wanted.
He
embraced the hateful language of Quran-burning rallies, anti-mosque protests, and perhaps most
violently, the ugly underbelly that is the comments' sections of news articles.
Trump sounded more like the Islamophobes on-the-ground torching mosques,
instead of Islamophobes in political offices supporting surveillance of
mosques.
This
presidential campaign foreshadows what is sure to follow. Hate crimes against Muslims rose
considerably in 2015 and statistics show a similar trend in 2016. If a Trump
presidential campaign resulted in an unprecedented number of hate crimes
against Muslims, one can only imagine what a Trump presidency will bring.
It
will bring an expanded surveillance state, where counter-radicalization
policing in Muslim communities will be more pervasive and far-reaching. This
will make it far more difficult for Muslims to freely exercise their faith, and
the most benign symbols of Muslim identity will trigger suspicion.
It
will bring in "extreme vetting" of Muslim immigrants, and very
likely, entirely bar the entry of refugees from war-torn states. Therefore,
even if a fully-fledged Muslim ban is not enacted - sweeping, strident policies
impairing legal admission of Muslim immigrants will be law.
It
will bring an administration that is entirely devoid of Muslim Americans and at
minimum, individuals without genuine reach into or backing from Muslim
Americans. The Trump campaign lacked any bona fide Muslim American involvement,
and the Trump administration will likely reflect that.
Most
alarmingly, it will usher in a cultural movement (and moment) whereby the
highest office in government authorizes discrimination and violence against
Muslim Americans. If the president of the US is the very archetype and
orchestrator of Islamophobia, then assailing Muslims, torching mosques, and
attacking anybody who looks Muslim is fair game.
Fear
was palpable. Adults cried. Young people led prayers. What loomed tomorrow was
bleak, and the wedge between Muslim and American seemed never stronger.
Enter
Donald Trump, American President. Brace yourselves, Muslim Americans.

I
personally believe that:
1.
Trump is an Anti-Muslim or antiislam. (
am agree also with this because his behavior rude and obnoxious to all Muslim).
2.
Trump is covert agent of RA&W
(India) or MossaD(Jewish)
3.
Trump is Bhakt (Follower/fan) Of Modi .Donald Trump, a big fan of Modi's India!
4.
He is Psychopath or suffering from
Islamophobia .
5.
Trump and Its campaign are sponsored by
Indian and Jewish Lobby money.
6.
He is Mouthpiece of India.
7.
He is professionally damn Liar.
There
are, of course, many others that are just too ridiculous to mention. But I
thought I'd limit myself to these ones for now. Very alarming situations for Muslims
world.
