The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a leading Muslim civil liberties group, called on Trump to apologize.
"The image of a Muslim woman being
abused and ejected from a political rally sends a chilling message to American
Muslims and to all those who value our nation's traditions of religious
diversity and civic participation," CAIR National Executive Director Nihad
Awad said in a statement.
"Donald Trump should issue a public apology to
the Muslim woman kicked out of his rally and make a clear statement that
American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the
nation's political process."
The group also mandated Mr Trump to “make a clear statement
that American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the
nation’s political process”.
Rose Hamid’s eviction from the rally in South Carolina sent a
“chilling message to American Muslims” as she was removed after making a silent
protest on Friday.
Mr Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the US had been
widely condemned.
During the rally in the town of Rock Hill, Ms Hamid stood up
wearing a t-shirt bearing the words: ‘Salam, meaning I come in peace in Islam’.
When she stood up, the crowd around her began chanting
“Trump! Trump!” as they had reportedly been instructed to do in the event of
any interruption.
Ms Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant, was then told by a
security officer that she had to leave as she was booed.
