The Trump administration’s desire to go to war with Iran circumvents constitutional authority, and threatens the United States’ aspiration as a harbinger of global peace and security. As Americans, we should be outraged by the actions of the Trump Administration. Hear from MPAC co-founder and President, Salam Al-Marayati, on why a war with Iran will not make our world safer. It will produce the opposite, perhaps even trigger a third world war. Take action - tell your member of Congress that a decision to go to war should come from Congress, and not rest solely on the President: mpac.org/noiranwar #NoWarWithIran

Trump Tweets
On November 30, 2017 By MPAC
Omar Noureldin, a political analyst and MPAC vice president & general counsel, joined CNN Newsroom to discuss President Trump's inflammatory tweets against Muslims by Britain First. Omar called the tweets “a deliberate tactic against Muslims, immigrants, African-Americans and the LGBT community... to fear monger” and as a result of this tactic against Muslims, our community experienced the single largest percentage increase in hate crimes of any religious or racial group from 2015 to 2016.
