Hundreds Protest Trump in NYC over Muslim Ban

HeadlineDec 11, 2015

Hundreds of people rallied in New York City on Thursday outside Donald Trump’s Midtown hotel to protest the Republican front-runner’s recent call to ban Muslims from the United States.

Radwa Elshafey: “There shouldn’t be a number on how many Syrians should be allowed into this country. And there is the Islamophobia and Arabphobia and xenophobia in all of it. It’s becoming a real issue because all these extra safety regulations that have been taken since 9/11, at one point they’re not regulations and more of they’re putting fear into the Arab community and the Muslim community.”
