What would the United States look like if there were no Muslims?

The Dhaka Times Desk Donald Trump's speech, the presidential candidate of the Republican party, has been criticized not only in the United States, but all over the world. What would the United States look like if there were no Muslims? That question also came up.

US-based international media CNN has made a report on this issue. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's statement on banning Muslims from entering the United States has caused a storm worldwide.

It is not only for immigrants, but also for travelers and students who are interested in coming to the United States on temporary visas, Donald Trump said in his speech.

Meanwhile, women's rights activists currently teaching at the State University of New York. CNN interviewed Kanta Ahmed.

Dr. In this interview of Kanta Ahmed, the words of Bangladeshi architect Fazlur Rahman Khan came up among other popular Muslim personalities.

The title of that CNN interview was, 'Suppose there was a ban on Muslims, how would the United States look like?'

Kanta Ahmed had more questions, if Trump's advice is real, what would happen in the United States?

Suppose the ban on Muslims has been going on for the last few decades, but what cultural influence, economic success and progress would the United States have lost?

What happened to the progress in architecture? Chicago's towering Wills Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) or the John Hancock Center cannot be imagined without Muslims. Those two buildings were designed by late Fazlur Rahman Khan. The 110-story Sears Tower designed by him was the tallest building in the world until 1996.

Born in Bangladesh in 1929, Fazlur Rahman Khan immigrated to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship to study. As a devout Muslim, Fazlur Rahman Khan designed a Hajj terminal in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with facilities for about 10,000 pilgrims.

Another person's name comes up. He is Hakeem Olajuyon. Without him, Houston might be without a trophy. The now-defunct Houston Comets football team of the United States won the NBA trophy 4 times. Also won the MLF Cup several times. Won NBA championships in 1994 and 1995. And all the credit to Rocket. Whose real name is Hakeem Olajuyon. Hakeem was the most important opener of his team. Hakeem used to fast in Ramadan even in sports.

The Islamic Circle of North America gave him a reception in 2008. In that reception, it was said about him, 'He has created an example for Muslims and Muslim youth at the same time by holding the principles of Islam.'

It is said that if he had not been allowed to come to the United States from Nigeria because of religion, the United States would have lost a football hero.

On the other hand, artists like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, who created an exceptional trend in American music, might not have been in history, if music directors like Ahmed Erdogan had not been in the United States.

Ahmet Erdoğan, the founder of Atlantic Records in the US, not only brought them to music, but also created musical groups such as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Ahmed Erdogan came to the United States from Türkiye with his diplomatic father. If his father was not allowed to enter the United States as an ambassador, the United States would have lost a master of the music world!

Dr. Kanta Ahmed says that Muslims in the United States have had such success stories that anyone would say, 'They pioneered this country.'
