CAIR Warns Donald Trump's Comments Endanger Muslim Women
--------------------------------------------------------

This comes as the Council on American-Islamic Relations is warning
"American Muslims, and particularly Muslim women, are facing an
unprecedented spike in discrimination and hate attacks, due in no small
part to Donald Trump's Islamophobic rhetoric and policy proposals." This
comes after Donald Trump's comments during a town hall in New Hampshire
on Thursday.

Trump Supporter: "Just to mix quickly homeland security and jobs. Why
aren't we putting our retiree-our military retirees on that border or in
TSA? Get rid of all these 'hibijabis' they wear at TSA."

Donald Trump: "Well, I-"

Trump Supporter: "I've seen them myself."

Donald Trump: "Yeah, I understand that. Yeah."

Trump Supporter: "We need the veterans back in there to take it. They've
fought for this country and defended it. They'll still do it."

Donald Trump: "OK."

Trump Supporter: "Thank you."

Donald Trump: "You know, and we are looking at that. And we are looking
at that. We're looking at a lot of things."
