How Trump's policies and rhetoric are forging alliances between U.S. Jews and Muslims
Ironic that Trump has unified American Muslims and Jews . . . against him with his Anti-Semitic and Islamophobic rhetoric, policies and staff.

Donald Trump may not be able to forge peace in the Middle East, but he is doing wonders for relations between Jews and Muslims in the United States.
Jewish and Muslim activists in the United States are forging alliances like never before in reaction to the presidents rhetoric and action toward Muslim immigrants.
Many Jewish organizations have interpreted Trumps executive order banning entry by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries as a call to arms. Jewish delegations turned out en masse for a 10,000-strong demonstration Sunday night in New York. (Granddaughter of Holocaust survivors standing with refugees, Muslims immigrants, read one sign.)
Almost every day in New York this last week there was an interfaith conference or prayer service involving Christian groups as well as Muslims and Jews devoted to the current crisis over predominantly Muslim immigrants and refugees.
