It looks like there will be a protest at GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s planned rally in Orlando, Fla. tomorrow:

And CAIR is warning Muslims attending the protest to “be vigilant.” 90.7 WMFE reports:
The protest, originally organized by University of Central Florida’s Muslim students, is expected to be peaceful. Protesters will hold signs across the street from the Trump rally. Central Florida’s Council on American-Islamic Relations has warned them to be vigilant before, during, and after the candidate’s rally.
Protesters will gather across the street from the arena starting at 8 a.m.
Following the Trump event, members of central Florida’s Muslim community will also gather at Lake Eola to rally against Islamophobia and terrorism.
Will the Muslim students be there to protest or support The Donald, however? According to CAIR’s own polling, Trump is the most popular GOP candidate among Muslims:
