After Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has come out in the open and revealed his support to Muslims all over the world. This move comes after a recent comment by an anti-Muslim from Donald Trump that insinuated banning Muslims from entering the US. The Indian-born who is the Chief Executive of the tech giant Google, Sundar Pichai took a detailed dig at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his offensive anti-Muslim comments.

In an open letter on Medium post titled “Let’s not let fear defeat our values”, Pichai did not refer to Donald Trump by name but, made a reference to the controversy. Sundar Pichai wrote: “I feel we must speak out -particularly those of us who are not under attack. Everyone has the right to their views, but it’s also important that those who are less represented know that those are not the views of all.”

In an effort to protect the rights of Muslims, Mark Zuckerberg a couple of days back said via a Facebook post that ‘We Will Fight to Protect Your Rights’ and the Muslim community should not tolerate discrimination following attacks in Paris and elsewhere connected to extremists.

The open-mindedness, tolerance, and acceptance of new Americans is one of the country’s greatest strengths and most defining characteristics. And that is no coincidence – America, after all, was and is a country of immigrants.

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.

I walk around the campus where I work and see a vibrant mix of races and cultures. Every one of those people has a different voice.. a different perspective … a different story to tell. All of that makes our company an exciting and special place to be and allows us to do great things together. We are urgently working to become much more diverse because it’s so important to our future success.

I firmly believe that whether you’re building a company or leading a country, a diverse mix of voices and backgrounds and experiences leads to better discussions, better decisions, and better outcomes for everyone.

I debated whether to post this because lately it seems that criticism of intolerance just gives more oxygen to this debate. But I feel we must speak out — particularly those of us who are not under attack. Everyone has the right to their views, but it’s also important that those who are less represented know that those are not the views of all.

Sundar Pichai’s comments also looked pointed at countering the call by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Finally, Sundar Pichai highlighted: Let’s not let fear defeat our values. We must support Muslim and other minority communities in the US and around the world.
