At last year’s Rio Olympics, America fielded its first hijab-wearing Muslim athlete. The fencer, Ibtihaj Muhammad, gained prominence for her religion but stayed visible through a series of anti-American statements. Muhammad may have represented the United States on the world’s biggest stage, but don’t confuse that for a sense of patriotism.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Muhammad once complained about living in the United States. According to the athlete, she feels ”unsafe” in the US and blames racism for her sense of fear while walking through New York City. When asked about Donald Trump, she said ”I don’t know who that is.”
Despite this, Mohammed was nearly chosen to carry the American flag during the Rio Olympics’ opening ceremonies. In a vote among her peers, she placed second to Michael Phelps. CNN published a piece that claimed Phelps didn’t deserve to carry the flag because, in so many words, he’s a ‘tall, successful, rich, white guy’
It’s unclear whether her fellow athletes were aware of Mohammed’s penchant for anti-American rants when they made their choice.
Watch as Mohammad attacks Trump’s call for a safe America on the next page:
Bill Meyers I never claimed to be such a person, and actually yes: I do have proof your god doesn’t exist. In fact it can easily be shown that no gods possibly exist.
However, that doesn’t matter as the burden of proof is on the claimant, the one making the positive claim. I needn’t provide proof of nonexistence, you need to prove your claim of existence.
Obamas puppet master Soros is at the end of his time and it’s been a grave cost to millions of people on this planet .
Are you getting paid for it

Randy Fell Jr. I like word rag better
Rick Prestwood am I getting paid for my job? Is that really your question?
Also: have you reread my post and realized where you went wrong? Are you ready to be a man and admit you were mistaken?
Oh please try. I love smacking conservatives who try putting their hands on me around. It makes me happy.
Actually, I’m an equal opportunist. Currently a man. Previously a woman.
And as an American born citizen, I’m entitled to my opinion, to which you can take your biased liberal B******t, and stick it up your ass
