Muslims Counter Trumpism

Trumpism is much larger than Trump. Since June 2015 when Trump announced his candidacy for president, Trump had embraced the Neocon dogma of highlighting Islam and Muslims as the U.S. enemies. His stance against the Syrian refugees as potential terrorists reinforced the American fears prompted by the Neocons that Muslims will physically destroy the United States. The sporadic terrorist attacks perpetrated by Muslims in America were exaggerated beyond proportionality to validate the critiques of Islam as an anti-Western, imperialistic faith. Trumpism developed the art of vilification. Just as the white settlers stigmatized Native Americans as savages, the Trumpists, including Trump and his men and women, brand Muslims as terrorists. The very word terrorist has turned synonymous with Muslim militant. The Neocons promoted wars against Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East. Unfortunately, many autocratic Arab rulers, fearful of their own fragile regimes, sided with the Neocons in branding Muslim militants as vicious terrorists, thus discounting the rationale of liberation movements in occupied Muslim lands. The Arab rulers who supported the struggle for liberation and the right of self-defense were overthrown and murdered.
