Sikhs, Muslims join Trump |
A group of Sikhs and Muslims mostly from South Asian countries has joined the Donald Trump bandwagon in Maryland, asserting that the Republican presidential frontrunner is “not against” their communities. Under the banners of “Sikh Americans for Trump” and “Muslim Americans for Trump,” scores of Sikhs and Muslims held their first meeting in a suburb of Washington, D.C., in Maryland, wherein a representative from the Trump campaign addressed them.Organizers of the event – from both the Sikh and Muslim communities – argued that the view of Trump about the minority community has been “twisted” and “taken out of context” by the mainstream media and claimed that the 69-year-old billionaire real estate magnet would create more jobs in the country which would benefit the minorities. It said Trump is not at all against the Sikhs or the Muslim community. What he says is given spin. The mainstream media gives a spin because they are scared of him. He is not the status quo. He is not taking anybody’s money,” said Jasdip Singh, who helped organize “Sikh Americans for Trump” in Maryland. “When he talks about Muslims, he does not talk about all Muslims or American Muslims.
