Sister of murdered Muslim calls on Trump for a chat about Islam

likely false story about a past American general executing Muslims with bullets soaked in pigs’ blood

 

Donald Trump’s recent telling of a likely false story about a past American general executing Muslims with bullets soaked in pigs’ blood has prompted the sister of a Muslim man shot to death last year to call on the GOP front-runner to chat with her in person about Islam.

On Saturday, Barakat posted the following message on her Twitter account  to @realDonaldTrump saying, “Meet me in person and tell me my brother, Yusor&Razan were deserving of the bullets.” 

Barakat said she believes that Trump’s tale of U.S. Gen. John Pershing executing Muslim fighters in the Philippines after the Spanish-American War could inspire acts of violence against Muslim Americans.

“It allows for the average Joe to see Muslims the way Craig Hicks saw my brother and his wife of six weeks and her sister,” The New York Times quoted her as saying. She fears his audience will view Muslims “as subhuman, because of their faith.”
