What the everloving fuck?


A business coalition to protect religious freedom?
“Today with one clear voice, the United States of America calls upon the nations of the world to end religious persecution,” Trump said, prompting a round of applause.

Some Muslims are going to be disappointed when they learn the US is not included.
“To stop the crimes against people of faith, release prisoners of conscience, repeal laws restricting freedom of religion and belief, protect the vulnerable, the defenseless and the oppressed,” Trump continued, adding that the United States “stands with believers in every country.”
"True" believers. Christians only.

MAGA.
While the law still exists, Trump signed an executive order in his first year designed to relax restrictions on religious groups engaging in political activities.

Trump condemned persecution of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Yazidis and others around the world, saying some 80 percent of the global population lives in countries where religious freedom is threatened.
Again, I point you to the Muslim communities in America.
