Whitewashing Bush and Obama’s Anti-Muslim Policies to Attack Trump
Opinion — President Donald Trump’s fervent Islamophobia, which will likely surge again now that the Supreme Court has blessed the travel ban, is viewed as a kind of unique hostility towards Muslims.
Jennifer Williams, Vox’s deputy foreign and national security editor, and a Muslim herself, published a widely shared piece which argued, in part, that President George W. Bush “took a bold stand against anti-Muslim bigotry” by delivering a speech at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. in 2001, days after the September 11 attacks.
