We are under attack!

A sitting member of Congress should not be fearmongering about his own Muslim constituents or painting ordinary families and masājid as a civilizational threat. Rep. Keith Self has publicly tied his rhetoric to the so-called “Sharia-Free America Caucus,” which he co-launched with Rep. Chip Roy, and has repeatedly framed “Sharia” as incompatible with American life, language civil rights groups say fuels anti-Muslim hostility rather than addressing any real constitutional issue. The deeper issue is not “protecting America,” but how elected officials normalize suspicion toward Muslim communities and place them in danger by treating their very presence as something to expose or contain.
