Pilgrim from Malaysia, Anisa Zainul Abideen, saying: "Trump's message and how he does things will create more violence and more people having bad views of Islam; meaning that we're all like the devil, we shouldn't be on this earth but then we are all human."
Pilgrim from Malaysia, Anisa Zainul Abideen, saying: "Trump should not view Islam as a terrorist because as you can see here all types of races from all countries are here regardless whether you are rich or poor we still hug each other here, just because of one or two that does bad things that doesn't mean everybody are terrorists."
