‘Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says she is “ready to register as Muslim” if President Donald Trump moves ahead with a plan to create a database of Muslim Americans.
“I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity,” Albright, the first woman to run the State Department, said in a tweet on Wednesday.
Her comments came amid news of a draft executive order by Trump which would announce a ban on arrivals from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Albright joined thousands of Americans who have pledged to register as Muslim in response to Trump’s proposal on the campaign trail to set up a Muslim registry in the US.’
