Prevent Prejudicial Registration of Muslims
As a US Citizen, I demand the refusal of the registration of any type of citizen by their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political leanings, heritage, philosophy, life experience, or socioeconomic, geographic, and academic/professional background.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump wants to require all Muslims to register in a national database; to carry special ID cards; to be tracked by the government. He is citing World War II internment camps as a precedent for proposed Muslim registration.
During the election, a reporter from NBC asked him: “Mr. Trump, why would Muslim databases not be the same thing as requiring Jews to register in Nazi Germany?”
He had no answer.
The idea that any group of citizen should be singled out, profiled and discriminated is profoundly un-American and immoral by any religious standard.
The world said, “Never again” to Hitler’s genocide, when we say “never again” we mean it in regards to everyone.
