CAIR releases annual report, warning discrimination is likely to continue as Iran war sparks a new wave of hate speech.
Washington, DC – As the United States and Israel continue to wage war with Iran, civil rights experts have noted a troubling trend: an ongoing rise in Islamophobia, even in the highest echelons of the US government.
Representative Andy Ogles, for example, has said, “Muslims don’t belong in American society”, adding that “pluralism is a lie”.
His Republican colleague, Representative Randy Fine, has also amplified anti-Muslim rhetoric online.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” he said one recent post. In another, Fine wrote: “Deport them ALL.”
In January, Representative Keith Self, also a Republican, shared on social media: “Islam is on the march and seeks world domination.”
