Donald Trump has been asked by a Muslim advocacy
group on Saturday to to apologize after a Muslim
woman who was engaged in a peaceful protest was
ejected by security personnel and booed by the crowd at
the Republican Presidential candidate’s rally in South
Carolina on Friday night.
The executive director of the Council on American-
Islamic Relations (CAIR), Nihad Awad said, “The image
of a Muslim woman being abused and ejected from a
political rally sends a chilling message to American
Muslims and to all those who value our nation’s
traditions of religious diversity and civic participation.”
However, Ohio Governor John Kasich, who is hoping to
be Republican presidential candidate criticized this
behavior saying the action of the crowd at Trump’s rally
in Rock Hill, South Carolina was inappropriate.
“We don’t need to be shouting and booing and scaring
somebody who decided to stand up and have some sort
of silent protest,” Kasich said while addressing
newsmen.
“What the heck is that about? We’re not in high school. I
mean, this is not some god-darn high school basketball
game where we’re booing the other team” he continued.
