United States Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump who is in news for his several negative remarks against Muslims living in the country had shocked the Republicans after a group from Orlando based Muslims invited him to a mosque to understand about Islam. The group invited Trump, in hopes that he would change his mind, a news channel reported.
According to the reports, representatives from 13 local Muslim groups living in Orlando organised a news conference in Longwood on Saturday morning where they invited Trump to a local mosque. The conference was organised by the group to condemn the recent terrorist attack that took place in San Bernardino, California in which 13 people died. Report suggest that the attack were carried out by a Pakistani husband and wife who were influenced by the Islamic State terrorist group.
Atif Fareed, a membere of American Muslim Community Centres (AMCC) told to WFTV Channel 9, where he said, “We are inviting him to a mosque to come and speak with us,” said Atif Fareed, of American Muslim Community Centers (AMCC).
He further added, “Once I sit down with Trump and speak to him, I guarantee you he will change his mind.”
Earlier Trump said that Muslim’s living abroad “have horrible things in their minds”. On which Fareed said he is ready to help Trump to study Islam.
Till Sunday night Trump who is the front-runner of the US Presidential candidate had not accepted the invitation but the AMCC is still positive about sending the message to him. AMCC members believe that they are trying to build bridges between Trump instead of burning them.
On Saturday morning, Orlando’s Baitul-Aafiyat Mosque hosted a blood drive which was followed by a prayer for the victims of California massacre.
After the California attack and after Trump’s statement Muslims living in United States are fearing of repercussions as the duo involved in San Bernardino shooting were Muslims.
