Google's Sundar Pichai, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet's Chairman Eric Schmidt are speaking out against the wave of anti-Muslim rhetoric in the U.S.. They strongly disagree about Donald Trump's plan to stop Muslim immigration to the country after the tragic tragedies that were claimed done by ISIS.
"America, after all, was and is a country of immigrants," wrote Pichai. "That is why it's so disheartening to see the intolerant discourse playing out in the news these days - statements that our country would be a better place without the voices, ideas and the contributions of certain groups of people, based solely on where they come from, or their religion."
Zuckerberg added that his "support of Muslims in our community and around the world.” He also said that his company will "create a peaceful and safe environment" for Muslims on the social network.
Schmidt wrote down an essay and was published in The New York Times calling for other tech companies to create the tools to "drown out the hate with a broadly shared humanity that only the web makes possible."
"We need strong leaders worldwide who will fight broadly for human progress and tolerance, and focus on bettering everyone's lives," he wrote.
Schmidt joined Yahoo!'s Marissa Mayer and Tesla's CEO among others in a lobby group called FWD.us which was founded by Zuckerberg. With it, they released a video that uses footage of Trump's quotes for his controversial proposal.
