[BBC] A former US Secretary of State and a Big Bang Theory actress have both vowed to register as Muslim if Donald Trump creates a database of Muslim Americans.Ah, yes. Making a splashy show of doing something that presents no danger to herself and costs no money. Good idea. Sign me up too.
Politician Madeleine Albright and Mayim Bialik said they "stand ready" to register, in defiance of the new President.
"I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish," Ms Albright - the first woman to be named Secretary of State - tweeted on Wednesday. "I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity." The tweet gained tens of thousands of likes.
But she's not a Moslem so she's not allowed to.
Her comments come as rumours continue to circulate about an executive order which would announce extreme vetting, a refugee ban and a ban on arrivals from seven countries, said to include Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
But there has been no mention of a register of American Muslims in recent months - something Mr Trump said he would "certainly implement" in an interview in 2015, but later distanced himself from.

1. A hijab would only make her look better
2. No Imam would ever attempt to give her a clitorectomy.
Am sure the citizens of R-Burg have more.
