The US and Israel launch a war 47 years in the making against the horrendous regime running Iran. Iranian people cheer. Iranian women dance without hijabs. So, of course
Attacks on Iran lead to concerns of anti-Muslim sentiments in America
For 35 years, the Islamic Center of Asheville has been a place of worship and community, drawing hundreds to the regional center, but as the attack unfolds in Iran, there’s fear that hate for the Muslim community will grow in the U.S.
One member of the Islamic Center of Asheville, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke with News 13, saying there is fear that the hate for Muslims will grow in the U.S. again, even for Muslims who have no connection to Iran, a Muslim country.
Are they worried that the uber-liberals in uber-liberal Asheville are going to attack them? Can WLOS or the anonymous person name one instance since Iran started getting beaten like a rented mule?
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, the Deputy Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, shared this concern.
“What we notice is when our country gets embroiled in a war in the Middle East in a Muslim-majority country that tends to result in a rise of Muslim hate or anti-Muslim sentiment here at home,” Mitchell said.
Oh, great, CAIR, the group with ties to lots of Islamic terrorist groups. A group that would be banned in Egypt as they are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, pretty much the group that created modern Islamic terrorism. Still no examples, though
Asheville, like other cities in the U.S., saw anti-war protestors gather opposing the Iranian attack.
However, in Iran, a video shows Muslim citizens celebrating the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei, known as a tyrant.
White liberals, especially affluent ones, protesting while Iranians celebrate.
Still, Mitchell said Muslims in the U.S. largely oppose the war.
So, he’s saying that most Muslims in America need to be deported because they support a hardline Islamist regime, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, a nation that has killed scores of Americans, and wants to annihilate Israel and kill all the Jews? But, if you criticize this it’s “Islamophobia.”
