Miss Puerto Rico 2015 has been indefinitely suspended from her role by the island’s official Miss America organization for launching a verbal attack against Muslims on Twitter.
Destiny Velez, 20, posted a series of tweets at filmmaker Michael Moore on Thursday in which she blasted the religion.
Moore sent a letter to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, slamming him for his Muslim ban proposal.
“I was raised to believe that we are all each other’s brother and sister, regardless of race, creed or color. That means if you want to ban Muslims, you are first going to have to ban me. And everyone else. We are all Muslim,” the letter said.
He posted the letter on his website with a photo of himself holding a sign that reads, “We are all Muslim.”
Velez tweeted directly at Moore multiple times, saying Muslims had “terrorizing agendas,” Latin Times reported.
Her tweets and Twitter account have since been deleted. The phrases she used can still be seen on the Latin Times site, however.
“All what Muslims have done is provided oil & terrorize this country & many others!!!!” she wrote. “There’s NO comparison between Jews, Christians & Muslims. Jews nor Christians have terrorizing agendas in their sacred books.”
“If we are all the same then Muslims need to take off their napkins off of their heads cuz I feel offended by it,” she added.
