summary Angelina Jolie lashed out at Donald Trump on Monday for his controversial remarks against Muslims. Islamic communities have prompted waves of anger from the comments.
Jolie closed her eyes and shook her head in disapproval when asked for her thoughts about Trump's attitude toward Muslims. "To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms, especially freedom of religion. So it's hard to hear this is coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president," she said. When President Barack Obama pledged to take in 10,000 of Muslims, Trump called on to temporary ban them from the U.S.
analysis As we all know, Jolie is just the latest figure to criticize Trump's remarks. The problem is real as there are currently 60 million displaced people in the world, and of the 20 million refugees that made it out of their country last year, only 1 percent were resettled, U.N. figures show.
synthesis Remember World War II? There were more than one million people crossing into the continent to seek asylum . They wanted to live different lives in America but the nativists gave them a hard time and immigration quotas that limited their entrance.
I really appreciate what Jolie said ["To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms , especially freedom of religion. So it's hard to hear this is coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president."] and I completely agree.
