(USA Today) Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright — citing her varied religious background — said in a Wednesday (Jan. 25) tweet she’s ready to register as a Muslim
I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity.
The website www.registerus.today has collected more than 30,000 pledges from people who said they’ll register as a Muslim in order to support the faith.
“We pledge to stand together with Muslims across the country, and around the world,” the website reads. “Because when we stand as one, no American can be singled out by their race, religion, income, gender identity, or sexual orientation.”
