Donald Trump recently said he "would certainly implement" a database to monitor Muslims, in response to a reporter's question. He also said he would not rule out a "special form of identification noting their religion."
The comments have been widely criticized by Muslim groups and a few of Trump's rivals, but no comeback was as perfect as this tweet by "Muslim Marine" Tayyib Rashid.
Hey @realDonaldTrump, I'm an American Muslim and I already carry a special ID badge. Where's yours? #SemperFi #USMC
BuzzFeed has reached out to Rashid for comment.
Rashid's tweet has inspired several other Muslim civic and community leaders to share their #MuslimIDs.
The resulting IDs have been a diverse collection of the ways American Muslims are involved in public service. There were #MuslimIDs from lawyers...
...journalists...
...former congressional staffers...
Proud former Congressional staffer. Media pro, grad student, Jersey girl. Here’s your #MuslimID @realDonaldTrump
...community advocates...
How about this #MuslimID for supporting #justice & #freedom https://t.co/wTyMUovtbg
...and diplomats for the U.S. government itself.
Hey, @realDonaldTrump: my #MuslimID is the diplomatic passport I used to proudly represent the US around the world
Even some superheroes tagged along.
