John Pershing shot dozens of Muslims during a century-old Philippines conflict with bullets dipped in pig's blood, Kaity Assaf was so repulsed she personally registered up about 15 new Muslim voters on a recent Friday outside a local mosque.
The story that Donald J. Trump has several times retold, even though it has been widely debunked, was received by American Muslims as degrading to their faith, in which pork and pig's blood are unholy, but as an invitation by Trump supporters to dehumanize adherents of Islam.
