Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rock Hill, South Carolina (CNN) - A Muslim woman wearing a hijab was escorted out of Donald Trump's campaign event on Friday by police after she stood up in silent protest during Trump's speech. Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant sitting in the stands directly behind Trump, stood up Friday during Trump's speech when the Republican front-runner suggested that Syrian refugees fleeing war in Syria were affiliated with ISIS. Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well. As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.

lego 44,165 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well. As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid. "The ugliness really came out fast and that's really scary," Hamid told CNN in a phone interview after she was ejected. Major Steven Thompson of the Rock Hill Police Department told CNN Hamid was kicked out of the event because the campaign told him beforehand that "anybody who made any kind of disturbance" should be escorted out. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking why Hamid was escorted out of the venue. After Hamid and three others, all wearing stars reminiscent of those worn by Jews during the Holocaust, were escorted out by police and Trump campaign officials, Trump commented on the disturbance. "There is hatred against us that is unbelievable," Trump said. "It's their hatred, it's not our hatred." Before the event, Hamid told CNN that she didn't plan to shout or disrupt the event -- she simply wanted to give Trump supporters a glimpse of what Muslims are like. "I figured that most Trump supporters probably never met a Muslim so I figured that I'd give them the opportunity to meet one," she said, wearing a shirt that read "Salam, I come in peace." "I really don't plan to say anything. I don't want to be disrespectful but if he says something that I feel needs answering I might -- we'll just see what strikes me." Hamid joined a group of people -- some friends, others strangers -- who wanted to silently protest Trump's Islamophobic proposals. Several of those other people attended Trump's rally in Aiken, South Carolina, last month, including Jibril Hough. Unlike Hamid, Hough did not stay silent, shouting "Islam is not the problem" as Trump spoke about radical Islamic extemism. Despite her early exit, Hamid did manage to speak with the Trump supporters sitting around her in the stands, several of whom held her hand and said "sorry" as she was forced to leave the venue. "The people around me who I had an opportunity to talk with were very sweet," she said. "The people I did not make contact with, the people who Trump influenced were really nasty." One woman Hamid spoke with in line remarked that she "didn't look scary," but "like a good one." "People don't have a chance to see anything other than the Muslims they see on TV," Hamid said, pointing to footage of terrorists and Islamist militants. Hamid said before the event that she was not concerned for her safety, explaining her ardent belief that "people are mostly decent." After her chaotic exit, Hamid remained optimistic about the character of most people -- even those who shouted at her to "get out" -- instead blaming Trump's heated rhetoric and outsized influence. "This demonstrates how when you start dehumanizing the other it can turn people into very hateful, ugly people," she said. "It needs to be known." 6 minutes ago, scorpion said: I recommend people actually read the article before commenting. How does it change anything?

Why are you defending everything Trump does? You even agreed her silent protest(as in - standing up) is annoying, and you think she should be kicked out for that but you're mad at Gaga for wanting to reduce bullying online and you think it goes against free speech. Isn't that contradiction? They were rude to her and yelling she has a bomb. Of course she was kicked out because she was muslim. This is pure hatred and little trumpsters just show that they don't want to have anything to do with normal/peaceful muslims. She has a right to protest, she was never disturbing anyone. Wtf.

I do not defend everything Trump does as I dont even like him.. I just hate how everyone is wining, acting like a victim, demonizing people and using minorities to put forward their political agenda and censor free speech. This is what Liberals want but im also against what Republicans want too.. im a libertarian so I respect freedom, philosophy and objectivity and this is where my opinion is coming from. Trump has been kicking out everyone that protest against him so its obviously not because shes a muslim and what one of his supporters said "she has a bomb" does not represent him. Yes I agree that silent protesting is annoying as its a distraction for Trump and people in the room that want to enjoy the event. Bernie Sanders allow protesters to take over his stage and accuse him and his supporters of racism and he still support and thank them. As for my contradiction, I do support free speech but I also believe in privet property and this is a privet event so if Trump wants to censor protesters in his events, he has the freedom to do so. If a site wants to censor free speech, they have the freedom to do so but im against censoring the internet. Gaga is not asking to censor littlemonsters.com, she is asking to censor the whole internet and making laws against free speech and internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga is not asking to censor littlemonsters.com, she is asking to censor the whole internet and making laws against free speech and internet. Trump is running for president of the USA. He is suppose to represent all Americans. He's spreading xenophobia and islamophobia with his speeches and American Muslims have the right to protest. I don't think you are aware of the rise in hate crimes against muslims and sikhs (because they look like muslims to ignorants) after his proposal of Muslim ban and just demonizing refugees. It's easy for you to judge from Saudi Arabia, you're probably living there well and you don't have to worry if someone will call your mom rag-head or your dad sand-n***er or attack your sister in school, calling her terrorist etc. And that(and worse) is what is happening in America and Western Europe right now. That is not playing victim or whining, that is the reality for millions of muslims who have homes in West, who grew up there and their only fault is "wrong religion". You can't be for freedom of speech and for censoring of freedom of speech at the same time. You (and this JbGaga; among others) were just arguing how those Oregon terrorists have right to occupy federal property with GUNS and threats of VIOLENCE plus using their women and children as human shields, "Just a quick reminder if they do shut down the electricity to the facility they will be shutting off the heat to woman and children who are also at the refuge, with temperatures of -16 in the area let’s pray they don’t." And they admitted they've done it before "We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, if they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers." And you call that a legal and normal protest while this woman standing up in silence is annoying and removing her is justified. Right. Poor Trump, he shouldn't be distracted with woman standing there and looking like she belongs to the group of people he's talking against.
