A former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright and ‘Big Bang Theory’ actress, Mayim Bialik, have both vowed to register as Muslim if Donald Trump creates a database of Muslim Americans. The duo said they stand ready to register, in defiance of the new President.
“I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian and found out later my family was Jewish,” Albright, the first woman to be named Secretary of State, said.
“I stand ready to register as a Muslim in #solidarity.”
Her comments come as rumours continue to circulate about an executive order which would announce extreme vetting, a refugee ban and a ban on arrivals from seven countries, said to include Syria, Yemen and Iraq. But there has been no mention of a register of American Muslims in recent months, something American President, Trump said he would certainly implement in an interview in 2015, but later distanced himself from.
It has been reported that the President will be announcing his new executive order. Many, including Albright, a Czech immigrant, are highly critical of the move which is rumoured to mean the US would accept no Syrian refugees.
“There is no fine print on the Statue of Liberty,” she added. “America must remain open to people of all faiths and backgrounds.
