The Real Threat to America are White Supremacists Like Trump, NOT Muslims

I’m sick and tired of Republicans screaming that Sharia law is going to destroy America while refusing to confront America’s own history of white supremacy and Christian nationalism. Let’s talk about slavery, the genocide and forced removal of Native Americans, lynchings, Jim Crow, segregation, and generations of racial terrorism. Many of these atrocities were committed or justified by people invoking Christianity, while other Christians courageously fought against them. Yet Republicans want Americans to fear Muslims like Abdul El-Sayed simply because of their religion? Where was Sharia law during slavery? During Jim Crow? During the Trail of Tears? During the lynchings and racial terror that scarred this country? America needs to stop treating Muslims as a collective threat and start confronting the homegrown extremism that uses Christianity to justify discrimination, exclusion, and political power. White Christian nationalism is not the same thing as Christianity. And criticizing it is not attacking Christians. It’s time for America to look in the mirror. The greatest threats to our constitutional freedoms don’t have to come from overseas. They can grow right here at home. #ChristianNationalism #ShariaLaw #WhiteSupremacy #ReligiousFreedom #AbdulElSayed #PaulForEquality
