Undated:
Muslims are people who follow
or practice Islam,
a
monotheistic
Abrahamic religion. Muslims consider the
Quran, their
holy book, to be the verbatim word of
God
as revealed to the
Islamic
prophet and messenger
Muhammad.
The majority of Muslims also follow the teachings and practices of Muhammad (sunnah)
as recorded in traditional accounts (hadith).[28]
"Muslim" is an
Arabic word meaning "submitter" (to God).[29]
The largest denomination of Islam are
Sunni Muslims who constitute 85-90% of the total Muslim population[30][31],
followed by the
Shia who make up most of the remainder of Muslims.
The beliefs of Muslims include: that God (Arabic:
الله
Allāh) is eternal, transcendent and absolutely one (tawhid);
that God is incomparable, self-sustaining and neither begets nor was begotten;
that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has
been revealed before through many prophets including
Abraham,
Ishmael,
Isaac,
Moses, and
Jesus;[32]
that these previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or
corrupted over time (tahrif)[33]
and that the Qur'an is the final unaltered revelation from God (Final
Testament).[34]

The Society of the Muslim Brothers (Arabic:
جماعة الإخوان المسلمين
Jamāʿat al-Ikhwān al-Muslimīn), better known as the Muslim
Brotherhood (الإخوان
المسلمون
al-Ikhwān al-Muslimūn), is a
transnational
Sunni
Islamist organization founded in Egypt by
Islamic scholar and schoolteacher
Hassan al-Banna in 1928.[8][9][10][11]
The organization gained supporters throughout
the Arab
world and influenced other Islamist groups such as
Hamas[12]
with its "model of political activism combined with Islamic charity work",[13]
and in 2012 sponsored the elected political party in Egypt after the
January Revolution in 2011. However, it faced periodic government crackdowns
for alleged terrorist activities, and as of 2015 is considered a terrorist
organization by the governments of
Bahrain,[14][15]
Egypt,[16]
Russia,[17]
Syria,[18]
Saudi
Arabia[19]
and the
United Arab Emirates.[20]
The Brotherhood's stated goal is to instill the
Quran and the
Sunnah as the
"sole reference point for ... ordering the life of the Muslim family,
individual, community ... and state".[21]
For many years the movement was supported by Saudi Arabia, with which it shared
some enemies[22]
and some points of doctrine.[23]
Today, the primary state backers of the Muslim Brotherhood are
Qatar and
Turkey.[24]
Back to top
As a
Pan-Islamic, religious, and
social movement, it preached Islam, taught the illiterate, and set up
hospitals and business enterprises. The group spread to other Muslim countries
but has its largest, or one of its largest, organizations in Egypt despite a
succession of government crackdowns in 1948,[25][26]
1954,[27]
1965, and 2013 after plots, or alleged plots, of assassination and overthrow
were uncovered.[28][29][30]
The Arab
Spring brought it legalization and substantial political power at first, but
as of 2013 it has suffered severe reversals.[31]
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood was legalized in 2011 and won several elections,[32]
including the
2012 presidential election when its candidate
Mohamed Morsi became Egypt's first president to gain power through an
election,[33]
though one year later, following massive demonstrations and unrest, he was
overthrown by the military and placed under house arrest.[34]
The Brotherhood itself claims to be a peaceful, democratic organization,[35][36]
and that its leader "condemns violence and violent acts".[37]

March 12:
Iowa Rep. Steve King is facing a fierce backlash over a tweet critics
say is an open embrace of white nationalism.
On Sunday, King retweeted a
political cartoon featuring Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician whose
anti-Muslim rhetoric and blown-out hairstyle have
drawn plenty of comparisons to Donald Trump. The cartoon depicts
Wilders, chairman of the far-right Party for Freedom and a member of the
Dutch parliament, plugging a hole in the wall protecting “Western
Civilization” as a flood of water bearing the star-and-crescent symbol
of Islam comes crashing over the top.

Undated: Executive Order 13769,
titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the
United States, often referred to as the Muslim ban[1]
or the travel ban, was an
executive order by
United States President
Donald Trump.
White House cyber security adviser
Rudy Giuliani said on
Fox
News that President Trump came to him for guidance over the order.[86]
He said that Trump called him about a "Muslim ban" and asked him to form
a committee to show him "the right way to do it legally"

August 17:
Hours after a van plowed through a crowd in Barcelona, Spain, and left at least
12 people dead, President Trump
tweeted condemnation of the attack and quickly followed with a statement
about U.S. Army Gen. John Joseph Pershing that historians describe as urban
legend.
The full claim, which Trump repeated several times during his 2016 presidential
campaign, is that in the aftermath of the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902,
Pershing had his men dip 50 bullets in pig blood and use them to kill 49 Muslim
prisoners. The survivor was told to relay the experience to others. [Again, it's
urban legend -- an "alternative fact"].

August 17: "He took 50 bullets, and he
dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up
the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said:
'You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened.' And for 25 years,
there wasn’t a problem. OK? Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem," Trump
told the crowd. [Again, the story is total garbage]

October 11:
[Trump's close friend Thomas] Barrack, in interviews with The Washington Post,
said he has been "shocked" and "stunned" by some of the president's rhetoric and
inflammatory tweets. He disagrees with some of Trump's proposals, including his
efforts to ban immigrants from certain Muslim countries and his push for a
border wall with Mexico. He wonders why his longtime friend spends so much of
his time appealing to the fringes of American politics.

December 8: Trump
lifts refugee ban, but admissions still plummet, data shows
In late October, President Donald Trump lifted a temporary ban on most refugee
admissions, a move that should have cleared the way for more people fleeing
persecution and violence to come to the United States.
Instead, the number of refugees admitted to the country has plummeted. In the
five weeks after the ban was lifted, 40 percent fewer people were allowed in
than in the last five weeks it was in place, according to a Reuters analysis of
State Department data. That plunge has gone almost unnoticed.
As he lifted the ban, Trump instituted new rules for tougher vetting of
applicants and also effectively halted, at least for now, the entry of refugees
from 11 countries deemed as high risk. The latter move has contributed
significantly to the precipitous drop in the number of refugees being admitted.
The State Department data shows that the kind of refugees being allowed in has
also changed. A far smaller portion are Muslim. When the ban was in place they
made up a quarter of all refugees. Now that it has been lifted they represent
just under 10 percent.

January 26: Trump Offers Apology For
Retweeting Anti-Muslim Videos From British Far-Right Party ... Trump has been in
hot water with British Prime Minister Theresa May for retweeting in November
anti-Muslim videos that were posted by the deputy leader of the far-right
Britain First party.
"Trump said he was sorry for retweeting the anti-Muslim videos which sparked
outrage in Britain.
Trump told [host of Good Morning Britain Piers Morgan: 'If you're
telling me they're horrible racist people, I would certainly apologize if you
would like me to do that.'
Trump told Morgan that he was unaware of who the Britain First group was when he
shared three of the far-right party's posts.

February 15: US court says Trump travel ban
unlawfully discriminates against Muslims ... The Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, on a 9-4 vote, became the second federal appeals court to rule
against the ban, finding that the Republican president's own words demonstrated
that bias against Muslims was the basis of the policy.
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the ban, put in place by Trump with a
presidential proclamation in September, to go into effect while litigation
challenging it continues.
The 4th Circuit ruling went further than the earlier decision by the San
Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found the ban violated
federal immigration law but did not address the question of whether it also
violated the Constitution. The Supreme Court already has said it will consider
both issues in deciding the legality of the ban in the coming months.
The justices are due in April to hear arguments over the ban and issue a ruling
by the end of June.

February 23: I Was a Muslim in Trump's White
House
When President Obama left, I stayed on at the National Security Council in order
to serve my country. I lasted eight days.
... the Obama administration always made me feel welcome and included.
The evening before I left, bidding farewell to some of my colleagues, many of
whom have also since left, I notified Trump’s senior NSC communications adviser,
Michael Anton, of my departure, since we shared an office. His initial surprise,
asking whether I was leaving government entirely, was followed by
silence––almost in caution, not asking why. I told him anyway.
He looked at me and said nothing.
It was only later that I learned he authored an essay under a pseudonym,
extolling the virtues of authoritarianism and
attacking diversity as a “weakness,” and Islam as “incompatible with the
modern West.”

If there is anything that three consecutive years of ISPU’s American Muslim Poll
has shown, it is that Muslims are not a monolithic community. From racial and

opinion and experience holds even when we would expect near uniformity, such as
opposition to President Donald Trump.
