Who doesn’t know about Donald Trump?

He is the foul mouthed, scary, yet very entertaining orange old man who is the front runner as the person to be chosen to lead the Republicans (that is George Bush’s party) in the next elections for US President, in 2016.
He has come into much backlash from all over the world since he remarked that all Muslims should be banned from entering the United States. Everyone called him out on his audacity and the sheer stupidity of the remarks.
But documentary director Michael Moore chose an interesting way to protest

The director, famous for his “Farenheit 9/11” documentary, launched a “#WeAreAllMuslim” campaign to counter the hateful remarks of Mr. Trump. He started this by posting a letter to Mr. Trump calling him out on his ignorance and making remarks that are not only hurtful to a large population but also ignite violence among the various different communities. Moore was also seen standing outside the iconic Trump Tower in New York City holding a placard that said the words.
Everyone around the world was instantly inspired
And people began responding to Michael Moore, immediately.
It doesn't matter how you practice your faith, what's important is that you are a person of faith. #weareallmuslims

Even those who don’t necessarily like Michael Moore responded to his message of positivity
If I ought to choose between two angry fat white Americans, I'd be Team Michael all the way. #weareallmuslim
Donald, you're fired.

People are putting up selfies with the words ‘We Are All Muslim’
To show support to their Muslim friends and Muslims around the world, in general, people took pictures with the words that Michael Moore started his campaign with.

Some even recalled Mr. Trump’s views to be eerily similar to the ones Nazis had for Jewish people

While there is hope among the world that there are those who speak up for Muslims, here’s hoping that minorities in our country can also have that safety.
