The irony of it all, yet the better angels of the US eclipse the dark, ugly messages of Donald Trump
While Donald Trump doubles down on banning Muslims from the US and tells reporters yesterday, yes, he would not want hislaw suit to come before a Muslim judge, because the judge might possibly not be objective, a mosque in Louisville, Kentucky was filled with people of all faiths saying goodbye to a Muslim, a devout one, the great and beloved Muhammad Ali.http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/packed-mosque-welcomes-muhammad-ali-home-louisville-kentucky-n586226
On the same day, President Obama issued a statement on the beginning of the Muslim holy days of Ramadan, leveling criticism of Donald Trump's advocacy of a ban of Muslims coming to the US without naming him. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/president-obama-swipes-donald-trump-ramadan-statement-132118601--abc-news-topstories.html
An interfaith service, attended by dignitaries of many faiths, including Jews and Mormans will be held Friday. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/15993271/muhammad-ali-funeral-planned-interfaith-service
These services and attendees and Presidential statements are the real spirit of the United States and that of Donald Trump represents a minority that does not grasp what makes America exceptional nor do they have any concept of the provisions in our Constitution that protects this country from bigots like him and those who buy into his views.
