(Middle East Eye) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden vowed Muslim Americans would be included in every social and political aspect in his administration, and reiterated his pledge to repeal President Donald Trump’s “Muslim ban” on his first day in office.
In a video message to Muslim Advocates, a civil rights organisation, Biden also promised on Wednesday to push lawmakers for legislation to fight the growing spike in hate crimes in the US.
“Today, trust is ebbing; hope seems elusive. Instead of healing, we’re being ripped apart,” Biden said. “And I refuse to let that happen. We have too bright a future to leave it shipwrecked on the shoals of anger and division.”
