American filmmaker, Democratic Party “die-hard”, unapologetic Obamian and social activist Michael Moore has sent Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a letter criticising him on his recent anti-Muslim statements and his call to “ban all Muslims from coming to the United States”.
In his letter, which he posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday 16th December night, Moore said Trump’s anti-Muslim statements “were made in depression and insanity”. Moore also published a picture of himself in front of Trump Tower in New York with the caption “We are all Muslim”.
In the letter, Moore reminded Trump that the US today is no longer a country of “angry white guys”, that the future US president will be chosen by more diverse voters and that fortunately the US is going more Muslim day by day.
Addressing Trump, Moore said also that 81 percent of the electorate who will pick the president next year is either female, people of colour, Muslim migrant or young people between the ages of 18 and 35 … like saying that the White Christian race is just extinct.
Moore went on to say that he was raised to believe in equality of people as brothers and sisters, regardless of race, colour and religion. He added that “we are all Muslim, just as we are all Mexican, whites and blacks and every shade in between” (cameo on the “50 shades of gray”?)
Moore, born in Michigan in 1954, is known for his documentary films that criticized US gun laws, globalization, the Iraq war and the US healthcare system. He has been awarded several awards for his work, including an Academy Award for “Bowling for Columbine”, the 2002 film that examined the Columbine high school massacre in Colorado.
