At a New York summit on the state of anti-Semitism today, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said he would sign up if Muslims in the United States are ever forced to put their names on a registry.
“If one day Muslim Americans will be forced to register their identities, then that is the day that this proud Jew will register as a Muslim.”
“The Jewish community lives here in this country with historic privilege and has achieved unprecedented success,” he said. “And yet, today, I think all of us fear that something has changed. There are troubling signs. Now they may be subtle, they may go unnoticed by the vast majority of Americans, but we see them. We know.”

Many other non-Muslims also took to Twitter to let the world know they support the Muslims against this onslaught by tweeting #IWillRegister

Muslim registry? Where one goes so should we all. I am an atheist, but I stand with human decency.#IWillRegister

This is unjust and unacceptable. We will not stand by while Muslims are forced to register. #IWillRegisterhttps://t.co/6ICrpHtiug

My great grandparents died in the Camps, branded and hated as Jews. #IWillRegister to honor them if this Muslim Registry comes to pass
