Today the assault may be on Catholicism.
But tomorrow, no religion will be safe from the same attacks
And then the message will be clear,if you want to serve in public office,especially on the highest court in the land,only those willing to hide or deny their faith need apply.
We have spoken with
@Google
,
@Twitter
and
@facebook
and urged them to remove the video of the New Zealand attacks. If you see it, report it so they can take it down.
BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi has announced that the House will vote No Ban Act. This is a huge deal for American Muslims. We believe will be the 1st time a bill to specifically protect American Muslims will be voted on. Ever.
Thank you
@RashidaTlaib
for confronting Zuckerberg about the impact of his policies on American Muslim lives!
Facebook explicitly allows politicians to lie and spread hate speech. Communities like ours are paying the price.
We are appalled by the hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel and condemn this attack on a house of worship. We stand in solidarity with the rabbi and congregation. We pray for a peaceful end to this travesty and for the perpetrator to be brought to justice.
*This billboard has now been taken down.*
Thousands spoke out bc white nationalist violence is real, death threats against officials are real & basic safety is fragile for countless Americans.
This weekend showed why we cannot stop working.
"My family is very diverse..."
At today's news conference,
#JacobBlake
's father just opened his tribute to his son by reciting Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Qur'an that Muslims recite in ritual prayer.

@IlhanMN
speaks truth here⬇️
"Yesterday, you were saying that Muslim men don’t allow women to speak, & Muslim women are oppressed for being covered, so you want to liberate them.
Today you’re angry because there is one of them that is too liberated."
The billboard encouraging gun violence against
@RashidaTlaib
@IlhanMN
@AyannaPressley
@AOC
is STILL UP.
The sign co may be backtracking on its promise to take it down & has been posting anti-Muslim signs for years.
*Your voice matters.*
*Use it.*
There are already multiple credible assassination threats & attempts on these officials.
The media is irresponsibly downplaying this and calling it "mocking."
In an age of white nationalist attacks and rampant gun violence, *this is not a joke.*
BREAKING: In a bipartisan vote, the House just passed the
#NOBANAct
, a bill to prevent future presidents from enacting another
#MuslimBan
or other discriminatory ban again.

@jack
this is just the latest Twitter-based anti-Muslim misinformation attack on
@IlhanMN
.
Take this down.
Take the past Trump 9/11 video down.
Take responsibility for your platform.
It’s being misused to spread hate.
This is from a CBC event we hosted this weekend to celebrate black women in Congress.
The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk.
What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?
"I’ll put a bullet in her f***ing skull."
Quote of a man charged with threatening to murder an elected official:
@IlhanMN
.
Law enforcement found over 1,000 rounds of ammo and multiple illegal firearms in his home.
A man, yelling religious and racial slurs, stabbed a Houston Muslim woman. The perpetrator of this outrageous act of hate must be found and brought to justice.
"By stripping Rep. Omar of her committees, McCarthy kills two birds with one stone: He attempts to silence an effective, principled voice on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and he stokes the ugly culture of anti-Muslim hate for cheap political points."
Another Muslim in public life is being baselessly and dishonestly smeared.
Today:
@RashidaTlaib
Yesterday:
@IlhanMN
Day before yesterday:
@RepAndreCarson
The day before that:
@keithellison
This part of the anti-Muslim political playbook to divide us all, esp. progressives.
Facebook made an "operational mistake" in allowing the Kenosha Guard militia group to issue a call to arms that led to the murder of two protestors?
Yeah, ok, whatever Facebook. That page was up for months. 😒
Amidst the chaos, some signs of hope! Here are 5 barrier-breaking Muslim elected officials:
Mauree Turner - OK State House
Madinah Wilson-Anton - DE State House
Iman Jodeh - CO State House
Samba Baldeh - WI State Assembly
Nida Allam - NC Durham County Commissioner
Any others?
BREAKING: New report exposes Facebook as “the World’s Engine for Anti-Muslim Violence” — driven by the anti-Muslim views of high-level staff, its support of authoritarian regimes, and its use by hate groups around the world.
Reps.
@IlhanMN
&
@RashidaTlaib
are facing the most aggressive, anti-Muslim attacks we have ever seen deployed against Muslim public officials.
Sign your name if you believe American Muslims should be able to serve in office w/out these relentless attacks.
Trump doesn't want people of color to become Americans. 🇺🇸 Connect the dots:

9/11 was a tragic day for all Americans. Do not erase the experience of Muslims. After that day, hate crimes against us skyrocketed and we still live with the anti-Muslim profiling policies enacted nationwide by the government and law enforcement.
Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened. And while GW Bush was a terrible president, to his credit he tried to calm prejudice, not feed it 2/
Four years have passed since the
#CharlestonShooting
. We hold the names of the
#Emanuel9
in our thoughts.
More blood gets shed every year.
White nationalist violence continues to target churches, mosques, synagogues & gurdwaras. It must be eradicated.
Major congrats to PBS NewsHour correspondent
@IAmAmnaNawaz
who will be a co-moderator of the next Democratic primary debate in December!!! As we decide who will be our next president, it is critical that we hear from American Muslims and people of all backgrounds.
Now is the time when American Muslims will find out who their true allies are.
Will you stand against the anti-Muslim attacks towards
@IlhanMN
and
@RashidaTlaib
or give in to the politics of fear and bigotry?
For

Don’t ever ru-paulogize for it.
The Pueblo County GOP chair defended Boebert’s anti-Muslim hate and implied that
@IlhanMN
’s Muslim identity amounts to “poking her finger in the eyes of many Americans.” This is offensive and wrong.
He and Boebert must directly apology to Rep. Omar and disavow anti-Muslim hate.
Pueblo County Republican chair Robert Leverington doesn't have a problem with the comments made by CO Rep. Lauren Boebert about MN Rep. Ilhan Omar.
"I think that Congresswoman Boebert probably expressed the sentiment of many Americans..."
@KRDONC13
This is horrible.
Police are reporting that a California man intentionally attempted to murder 8 pedestrians he perceived to be Muslim with his car.
This calls for a full federal hate crime investigation.
Misreading

Last night
@JoyAnnReid
said on air that Muslims are violent extremists. This anti-Muslim smear invites white nationalist violence against our community. Reid and MSNBC must apologize and commit to meet with Muslim leaders:
A BIG VICTORY!
The neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer is court ordered to pay *$4.1 MILLION* to our client Muslim commentator
@DeanObeidallah
for falsely claiming he bombed an Ariana Grande concert.
American Muslims will *not* be silenced by hate.
In case you missed it! Last night,
@RepRashida
powerfully declared that the House will "not stand idly by as this administration continues to enforce its racist Muslim Ban."

#NoBanAct
@ZahraBilloo
@JoyAnnReid
Yes, and unfortunately, this is not the first time
@JoyAnnReid
has shown anti-Muslim bias publicly. This is not a slip of the tongue. It’s part of a pattern.
We call on her to apologize on air and MSNBC to ensure that steps are taken to end anti-Muslim bigotry at the network.
Eid Mubarak!
With Ramadan coming to an end, it’s time to celebrate with great food and traditions. From baklava to atayef, here’s how your favorite Muslim creators are ending their month-long fast on Eid Al Fitr.
🚨 BREAKING: We just sued Facebook.
Facebook promises to remove hateful content that violates their rules, but doesn't. They lie to Congress and to you. Enough is enough.

Join them. Speak out.
We mourn those lost to the horrific attack in New Zealand and urge Muslims to stay vigilant. The American Muslim community has faced deadly attacks in recent years, but rarely have we witnessed such brutal carnage as today’s tragedy in New Zealand.
Three years since Trump signed his racist, un-American Muslim ban into law, families continue to be torn apart for nothing. We are no safer as a country. Period. Congress must pass the
#NoBanAct
& ensure we return to our tradition of being a nation that embraces *all* immigrants.
An Ohio police officer posted the logo of the Three Percenters, an anti-Muslim militia, on Facebook. Previously, he threatened Muslims on Instagram and said “I will KILL YOU In my front yard!!" He must be fired.
No one should sacrifice a bathroom break to pray or be punished for protesting workplace discrimination.
But that's how
@amazon
treats its Somali Muslim workers in Minnesota.
It must stop. That's why we just filed
@USEEOC
charges against Amazon.
Hate has no place in our schools. 🚮
We’re calling on

to remove Daniel Leonard for his hateful, violent, anti-Muslim post wishing for the death of

Thoughts & prayers are not enough to respond to the
#NewZealandShooting

The President must disavow white nationalism & this attack.
The FBI must prioritize hate violence.
Tech companies must prevent the streaming/spreading of these videos.
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to pressure Reps. Omar and Tlaib to retake their oath of office on a Bible, or "go back to the Middle East."
Then, she posted a picture of herself with a gun next to them.
Now, she'll join them in Congress.
In the
#DemDebates

:

We thank Gov. Inslee for running on the vital importance of religious freedom for *all.*
More candidates are in the right place but none have raised it like him.
!?!?!
@RashidaTlaib
is a "danger" and could "blow up Capitol Hill"?!?!? Any politician who would spout this kind of vile anti-Muslim rhetoric is clearly not fit to govern.
Commissioner Lima-Taub should step down immediately.
2 Indian-American men were killed at a bar in Olathe, Kansas while the assailant yelled “get out of my country!” The shooter pled guilty to federal hate crime charges.
Olathe never reported this hate crime. According to federal data, it never happened.
Earlier, Chicago police union president John Catanzara was insisting that all Muslims "deserve a bullet." Now, he's defending white nationalists.
How does this guy still have a job?
BREAKING: Chicago police union President John Catanzara said Muslims "all deserve a bullet" and spread a false smear about genital mutilation. We're calling on him to be fired.
BREAKING: Another hateful attack on a house of worship—a synagogue in CA.
We stand with the victims, their families, Congregation Chabad & American Jews everywhere. This is an attack on all.
The FBI must prioritize this violence & stop the bloodshed.
We are overjoyed that Rabbi Cytron-Walker and the other congregants are safe. We are also inspired by all the expressions of love from across so many communities. Attacks on houses of worship are a scourge that we will end by banding together.
The Muslim Ban decision puts the rights of all Americans at risk. This is just one fight in a broader battle against Trump’s anti-Muslim agenda. We are ready for the next round and have only begun to fight! Come to the Supreme Court at 11:45am to declare we will not be banned.
BREAKING: Biden's immigration bill — the U.S. Citizenship Act — will include the NO BAN Act! Passing it will prevent the

We applaud the 9th Circuit decision confirming that the Muslim ban is unlawful & hope the 4th Circuit currently considering our case, IAAB v. Trump, will do the same.
The Muslim ban is based on discrimination, pure & simple. It has torn families apart & hurt our nation.

Director Chris Wray on white nationalist violence at houses of worship.
1 synagogue shooting, 3 Black church burnings & 1 mosque arson later, he has not responded.
