(Middle East Eye) Joe Biden has released a plan to protect the civil rights of Muslim Americans and reverse some of Donald Trump’s Islamophobic decrees if elected president.
The plan, titled “Joe Biden’s agenda for Muslim-American communities,” vows to undo Trump’s Muslim ban on “day one” and confront “discriminatory policies” that affect the growing community.
While it lacks specifics and falls short on foreign policy, advocates say the former vice president’s pitch is a “good start” and a positive change from the White House’s bigoted rhetoric.
Abed Ayoub, legal director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), welcomed the statement, but criticised it as “too vague.”
