Muslim analyst STUNS CNN anchor with defense of Trump and Republicans on ‘Islamophobia’ accusations

Foreign Policy analyst Qanta Ahmed shocked CNN’s Fredericka Winfield when she went off on what a mistake it was to accuse Trump and Republicans of “Islamophobia” when so many Muslims actually respect and appreciate them for what they’ve done.

Here’s the videos from Ahmed’s appearance on CNN:

She did say Trump’s statement on New Zealand wasn’t good enough, but then added that he wasn’t responsible for someone putting them in their manifesto:

She says Trump is “beloved” by some, and explains how George W. Bush acted to save many in Muslim countries. Kind of a refreshing take from all the crap we see so often.

That’s probably why the only place you can find that clip is on Ahmed’s twitter, and not on CNN or YouTube. Weird, right? Ahmed seems like a very reasonable and rational critic of Islam.

That’s it for this Sunday. I hope you all had a great weekend. Have an open thread for St. Paddie’s Day, but don’t pinch each other!!
