With Donald Trump churning out nonsense about Islam at every turn, a Dubai-based comedian took to the UAE streets to get opinions about modern Muslims.

“As a Christian-American married to a Muslim I was horrified when Trump made headlines stating that Muslims should be banned from entering the USA,” Mina told EmiratesWoman.com when asked why she created the film.

“He said a lot of racist and hurtful things and this statement put me over the edge. Rather than getting angry and doing nothing I decided to use my talent and passion for comedy to do something positive.”

And here is that something positive: a YouTube clip with 25,000 views and counting starring a diverse range of Dubai residents…

And, to remind us all that not all personalities in American politics are xenophobic and ill-informed, here’s Bill Clinton talking while campaigning for Hilary earlier this month:
