The Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked Republican presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, to apologise to a Muslim protester ejected from one of his rallies.
The group also mandated Mr Trump to “make a clear statement that American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the nation’s political process”.
Rose Hamid’s eviction from the rally in South Carolina sent a “chilling message to American Muslims” as she was removed after making a silent protest on Friday.
Mr Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the US had been widely condemned.
During the rally in the town of Rock Hill, Ms Hamid stood up wearing a t-shirt bearing the words: ‘Salam, meaning I come in peace in Islam’.
When she stood up, the crowd around her began chanting “Trump! Trump!” as they had reportedly been instructed to do in the event of any interruption.
Ms Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant, was then told by a security officer that she had to leave as she was booed.
