In light of Donald Trump’s remarks last night about banning all Muslims from entry into the United States, CNN has compiled this vital list about Muslim-Americans and their immense contributions. As CNN repots —
“The truth about Muslims in America is perhaps surprising — but not in the way Trump and his supporters might think. A look at polls and studies conducted in the last few years shows that Muslims have been crucial in helping law enforcement find terror suspects in the United States. Many have served in the military protecting the country against terrorists. And in many ways, they’re a lot like other everyday Americans.”
Per CNN, here are the realities of Muslims in America… and how they smash the stereotypes:
– They’re better educated than most Americans
– They have more gender equality
– They’ve been here since the birth of the nation …
– They’re as religious as Christians (but they’re not as dogmatic as they are portrayed)
