...In recent weeks, the FBI reported that the number of hate crimes in the U.S. decreased in 2014, while anti-Muslim crimes actually rose last year. Since the attacks in Paris, governors and lawmakers around the country have objected to taking in Syrian refugees, the majority of whom are Muslim. While Al-Khatahtbeh said she hasn’t yet noticed a direct rise in Islamophobia due to Trump’s comments, mosques in Texas, Florida and Ontario were threatened last week.
Donald Trump is whipping up hatred of Muslims. His words have malicious intent and consequences. Isn't it similar to falsely crying fire in a crowded theater?

Donald Trump is again raising the possibility that he might run for president as a third-party candidate, suggesting that the Republican Party is not meeting its end of their loyalty "deal".
And over on the Republican side, Jeb Bush recently hired a speech coach to help him speak more forcefully and emotionally. You can tell - before, he was like, “I don't really want to run for president,” but NOW, he's like “I SAID I DON'T WANT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT!! I'M SICK OF IT! I'M OUT!”- Jimmy Fallon
