1. It's about the First Amendment.

At this time, if a non-Muslim, domestic American male had published the same essay, word-for-word, he wouldn't have been kidnapped, whisked off to an ICE detention center in Louisiana, and held without charges.

4. With Trump it is definitely not merely because of a "difference in opinion." She's a woman and she's a Muslim.

He's a racist misogynist.
