Washington, D.C.- MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid claimed that “Muslim leaders…talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters…to commit violence.” She further compared “the way Muslims act” to Trump and his followers.

“Reid’s flippant statements are Islamophobic, and stoke hate by generalizing billions of Muslims as ‘violent.’ We are calling upon Reid to apologize and retract her statements, immediately.” -Wa’el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage Action
