@AmyMek @NC_Governor @SloanRachmuth Amy, I received this from someone else, then went to the official website to verify it myself—I honestly couldn’t believe it, so I saved a copy. I didn’t see it on your account, but I’m happy to credit you.

I left a country where Ramadan is enforced by law. I came to America for freedom. Now a governor is commending everyone to observe it. That’s a troubling direction. @NC_Governor @SloanRachmuth

Christian nationalism, here on parade at the Pentagon, as Hegseth invokes God and Jesus as apparent allies of American troops whose mission — Trump forecasted today — is to “blow up” all of Iran’s oil fields and wreak unprecedented destruction on the country. Pure evil.

Hegseth: "May almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ."

@Mishi_2210 9. Some of y’all slept through pre-algebra. The formula:
2x + 12 = 30.
2x + 12 -12 = 30 - 12.
2x = 18.
2x/2 = 18/2.
x = 9.

Israeli settlers have increasingly used violence against Palestinians in a bid to drive them from their homes in the occupied West Bank. But sexual assault appears to be a new weapon in these settlers’ arsenal of intimidation, pointing to a troubling new level of violence. cnn.it/4du8vj6

Religions don’t permit or deny questions. Religious *people* do. And in every tradition under the sun, people have always asked and answered questions.

A religion where you can’t ask questions is not a religion. It’s a cult.

All scriptures contain difficult passages. They usually appear in historical contexts. Modern believers interpret them in many ways, and the vast majority understand them as products of particular moments rather than universally applicable mandates. The Bible is no exception.

The Quran calls on Muslims to wage ‘jihad’ or holy war against nonbelievers. WAKE UP. They want EVERY SINGLE freedom-loving Christian and Jew DEAD. I will not back down.

There is no such thing as “Sharia Law” in the sense of a single, codified document like the Constitution. So, it’s weird to hear jowly politicians rage about its alleged looming takeover. There has never been a case where any aspect of Sharia has usurped American law.
Coach Tommy Tuberville@SenTuberville
Sharia Law is INCOMPATIBLE with American values. This isn’t about “racism.” Radical Islam isn’t a race. It is a DEATH CULT. WE DO NOT WANT ANY MORE RADICAL ISLAM HERE.

The Taj Mahal was commissioned by the Muslim Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his Muslim wife, Empress Mumtaz Mahal. It was designed by the Muslim architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori, along with a Muslim calligrapher Amanat Khan Shirazi and a team of Muslim artists.

I had a magnificent day at the Taj Mahal. 🇮🇳 It is the most incredible monument I have ever seen in my life. A monument of love built with perfect symmetry and detail. India is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever had the pleasure of traveling to. Highly recommend!

On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and at a time when fear and division are rising in many places, New York stands firm:
Hate has no home here.
Muslim New Yorkers strengthen our communities every day, and we will always stand together against Islamophobia.

You have no problem using the word “anti-Semitism,” even though “Semites” refers to a language group, not specifically Jews. So, your obsession with policing “Islamophobia” is NOT about linguistic precision. It’s about denying the very anti-Muslim prejudice you proudly peddle.
Congressman Randy Fine@RepFine
Racism is when you discriminate against another race. It is bad. Sexism is when you discriminate against another sex. It is also bad. Antisemitism is when you discriminate against Jews. Again, bad. I could give ten more examples. So why did Muslims not create a similar word thst is bad? Why is their "bad" word Islamophobia? Which, when you break it down into it's component parts, isn't about discriminating against Muslims, but is about fearing them? And then stating that that fear is irrational and unacceptable. The word was created as a weapon, to conflate stopping discrimination (which is a good thing) with stopping criticism (which is not). Because under Sharia law, which is fundamental to Islam, criticizing Islam is a crime. In some Sharia-compliant countries, it is punishable by death. Even with all the actual violence around us, we must remember we are also in a rhetorical war over the contours of speech in this country. And I was built for that fight.

I lived and traveled in Iran for months. In Tehran I lived with the family of a retired bank worker who saw me looking for housing. I roomed with his son for months, ate all my meals with them, and they never accepted any money. Once I was sick and throwing up and they all came into the bathroom and the dad stroked my head while I barfed and told me “Aybi nadare” (no shame, it’s ok). I traveled around most of the country by plane, train, bus, shared taxi, etc. Eventually I stopped booking hotels because I’d always meet people on the train, bus etc who’d insist I stay with them. The family of Iran/Iraq war vets from Yazd who took me to Taft for bbq in the mountains. The taxi driver from Rasht who made a bed for me on the floor of his tiny apartment because all the hotels were full. The only time a police officer talked to me was once to make sure I was ok. I never felt in any danger day or night. The land of Iran is as incredibly diverse as its people. There are mountainous rain forests and desert salt flats. I met among the most liberal and most conservative people there, and everything in between. Everyone was so kind it makes me cry with shame.

Humanize Iran & Iranians. Someone posted on IG that when she, as an American, visited Iran, she was welcomed with open arms and generosity. Here is a photo of a man offering her cookies while on they were traveling on a bus. If you know Iranians, you know 💯 this is super common.

That’s a hell of a last line in a war that has cost 13 American lives so far.
