Trump Makes A Lot Of Money Off The People He Wants To Ban From Entering The U.S.
Donald Trump’s recent call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States may end uphindering his businesses abroad. While the real estate mogul is denouncing Muslims, he is simultaneously profiting from businesses in a number of Muslim-majority countries.

The United States has seen an “unprecedented” spike in Islamophobia since the tragic terrorist attacks struck Paris, France on November 13, with Muslims all over the country falling victim to shootings, personal assaults, harassment, protests, and attacks on their houses of worship.
According to the Center for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the horrific mass murders in Paris — perpetrated by people claiming affiliation with the militant group ISIS — has sparked a widespread backlash against Muslims in the U.S., even though virtually every major Islamic group in the country condemned the attacks. CAIR, a Muslim civil rights group, published a preliminary report on the wave of hatred last week, with several incidents occurring since then.
Responding to the Paris attacks in an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, presidential candidate and former governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) said that he could not think of any group targeting innocent civilians except for radical Muslims. Huckabee used this argument to justify the intensifying call for discriminatory policies toward Muslims seeking refugee status.
“I don’t know of any other group of people uniquely that are targeting innocent civilians and committing these acts of mayhem,” Huckabee said.
