Allen Park — It’s safe to say Lions safety Isa Abdul-Quddus won’t be voting for Donald Trump any time soon.
Trump, a top candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said Monday he wants to block all Muslims from entering the U.S.
Abdul-Quddus and Lions running back Ameer Abdullah are both Muslims. Both said they paid Trump’s comments little mind, but the players realize how damaging it can be for someone so powerful to have such a bigoted stance.
“That’s the scary part,” Abdul-Quddus said. “I’m just hoping that either he can change his mindset to be a bit more open-minded, or people just realize we can’t have this ignorance in office.
