CAIR-Florida leaders say president wants a 'Muslim ban'

CAIR-Florida leaders say president wants a 'Muslim ban' CAIR leaders said the orders will not protect the U.S. from terrorism, but instead will stop innocent people who want to come to this country, make an honest living and be productive members of society. "If the goal is to protect the United States, then anyone who enters this country should be vetted," Omar Saleh, of CAIR Florida, said. "It shouldn't be limited to one race or religion." The civil rights attorney, who is also a Muslim, said the orders are extremely disheartening. "We believe that these orders are an implementation of what the then-candidate Trump said would be a complete ban on Muslims," Saleh said. "This is a systematic effort to exclude Middle Easterners and Muslims out of the country. We believe this is short-sighted and uninformed, and it is unproductive." The Rally for All Those Targeted by the Trump Administration was held at the Torch of Friendship monument in downtown Miami. "We believe this action isn't going to make the country any safer," Saleh said. "In fact, it will just make the United States more fearsome and divide the community." During the rally people sent a loud message to Trump. "Muslims are not the threat, Islam is not the threat. Islam is a religion of peace," Yousef Muslet said.
