<p>As Salaamu Alaykum, Robert—</p>
<p><strong>Donald Trump is assembling a cabinet of some of the most divisive figures in America</strong>—some of them with direct ties to white nationalist and anti-Muslim hate groups—drawing praise from the KKK and the American Nazi Party.<span style="font-size:xx-small">¹</span></p>
<p>The same destructive ideology that fueled the Klan's decades-long reign of terror is going to be hooded in the legitimacy of the White House and the federal government, if Trump has his way.</p>
<p><strong>We must oppose any cabinet or White House appointees who don't believe in human and civil rights for all of us. </strong></p>

<p><strong>We're not exaggerating about how harmful and divisive these men could be.</strong> It started with Trump advisor Kris Kobach—the anti-immigrant author of the 9/11 Muslim registry program and SB 1070 racial profiling law. Then it got worse with Steve Bannon, Trump's pick for Chief Strategist, who built a media empire <strong>peddling white nationalism² and has been celebrated by the KKK and the American Nazi Party.</strong>³</p>
<p>Here are some low points from the nominees so far:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mike Flynn</strong>, proposed National Security Advisor, sits on the board of ACT for America, known to the Southern Poverty Law Center as <strong>the country's largest anti-Muslim group</strong>. He claims that Islam isn't a religion and has referred to it as a "cancer."<span style="font-size:xx-small">^4<br><br></span></li>
<li><strong>Jeff Sessions</strong>, potential Attorney General, has a <strong>history of racism against immigrants<span style="font-size:xx-small">⁵</span> and Black people and opposition to the Voting Rights Act.</strong><span style="font-size:xx-small">^6<br><br></span></li>
<li><strong>Mike Pompeo</strong>, who could head the CIA, is a <strong>proponent of torture and could expand—rather than close—Guantanamo.</strong><span style="font-size:xx-small">⁷</span></li>
