Re: “Thousands rally at Denver’s Civic Center in support of Muslim neighbors,” Feb. 4 news story.

Asha Abdulkadir was quoted as saying a refugee has never carried out an attack on American soil. Where are the fact-checkers?

A Somalian refugee, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, injured 11 at Ohio State University in November. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, while technically not a refugee, migrated from Jordan in 1996 before killing five and wounding two in Chattanooga, Tenn., last July. Najibullah Zazi, described as an Afghan refugee, pleaded guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in a failed attack on the New York City subway system in 2009.

I am not a supporter of Donald Trump’s travel ban, or the way it was implemented, but I was told a long time ago one should be very careful using the terms “never” or “always” regardless of your political leaning.
