Leaders, um, let’s say in the Muslim world, talk a lot of violent talk, and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy.
How is this woman not fired for this? It's sad how accepted Islamophobia is in the main stream.

It's disgusting.

But it's also an election cycle and nothing riles up the cult like some good old fashioned Islam bashing. Frankly, I'm surprised there isn't more of it coming out, but I guess BLM & Covid are taking up air time.

Yeah, pretty ####ty stuff. I see what point she was trying to make but honestly the worst possible way to make a point about how the current President incites violence in the same way Islamophobes suggest Muslim leaders incite violence is to... you know... suggest Muslim leaders incite violence.

That said, in all honestly, I'm glad you've come around on this kind of Islamophobic language over the past couple years. I think it's worth giving credit for.
