Several Republican lawmakers are ramping up anti-Muslim comments
and facing little to no response from their leadership.
"Muslims don't belong in American society," Rep. Andy Ogles posted on Monday. "Pluralism is a lie."
The Tennessee Republican, whose seat is in a safe red district,

and said in a speech last year that "America is and must always b…

MUSLIM FUTURES
A literary fiction and graphic novel anthology featuring stories set in aspirational futures through a Muslims lens

Rep. Andy Ogles said on Monday that Muslims have no place in America,
-- an Islamophobic attack from a sitting member of Congress.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie,”
the Tennessee Republican posted Monday morning on X.
It is not the first bigoted social media post Ogles has made.
He has also said that “America and Islam are incompatible,”
and has introduced legislation to halt immigration from Muslim-majority nations.

But it's worth recognizing the most brutal elements of church violence were directed at "others": Jews, pagans, Muslims, even other sects of Christianity. The Church's persecution of "heretics" neatly folded into the state, as the diest god of "Providence," represented by the "all seeing eye" atop a pyramid, ultimately justified a violent "civilization" of indigenous people.

This is
a) a violation of our US laws (and Constitution) regarding war-like acts.
b) going to further inflame and fuel the belief among Muslims that the US is pursuing a new christian-religious crusade. The long term damage this will cause to the US is immense.
In other words, el cheato is violating US law and putting US interests (and citizens) in considerable danger.

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

Israel hacked a popular Iranian prayer app

urging the country’s military personnel to defect from the regime and join a fight to liberate the country,
