Several members of Congress have made hateful anti-Muslim comments since the outbreak of the Iran war. Representative Randy Fine from Florida said, “We need more Islamophobia, not less.” Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee said, “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas advocated, “No more Muslims immigrating to America.” Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama posted pictures of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani next to a picture of the 9/11 terror attacks, as if Mamdani had anything to do with them!
So let’s see here. The U.S. and Israel start a war against Iran while the U.S and Iran are involved in disarmament talks and somehow Islam is to blame?
Perhaps they’re simply following the lead of Donald Trump. After two young men who may have been inspired by ISIS threw Improvised Explosive Devices at far-right protesters outside Mamdani’s mayoral mansion, Trump blamed the attacks on the genetics of the suspects. He said, “They’re sick people and a lot of them were let in here. ... The genetics are not exactly—they’re not exactly your genetic.”
These remarks by Trump and the members of Congress are just plain, blatant racism from highly-paid servants of the wealthy capitalist ruling class who want to divide the working class and convince American workers to support their war against Iran. Workers beware of their tricks!
