Silently protesting Muslim woman ejected from Trump rally
This article is discussing the event that played out a few days ago at the Donald Trump rally. There was a Muslim woman who stood up in silence and was soon removed from the rally. As she was escorted out, the Trump supporters booed her and some were yelling,"she has a bomb, she has a bomb." Hamid, the 56 year-old woman said that she just wanted to show these people that not every Muslim is a dangerous killer. Her shirt even read, "Salam I come in peace." Hamid said that he was disgusted by the actions that took place.
Synthesis: This is such a tragic thing to hear. Not every Muslim you will hear about or encounter is "armed and dangerous." But now everyone believes that they are. But this would not be the first time that Americans have discriminated against another race or religion. All during the Gilded age there was a law preventing Chinese immigrants from coming into the United States. Very sad to hear that this things are still happening today.

I agree with you, it is sad that people are stereotyping people based on their race.
