Christian Friends, if you’re spouting off about “Sharia Law” and 911 right now, you’re encouraging religious hatred and intolerance, period. 🧵 ⚓️

Their religious authorities have officially decried acts of terrorism by extremists every time they have happened (but no one pays attention). They have stood with me at vigils for the Jewish community when antisemitic violence has occurred.

I have not seen a single American Muslim leader call for “Sharia Law” to be imposed on the US, just like I haven’t seen any Jewish leaders call for the imposition of Kosher, or Catholic leaders for the imposition of Canon Law.

If you would like to criticize someone with a middle eastern name for their policy agenda - by all means. But if you’re going to use broad strokes and misinformation to demagogue the adherents of an entire religion, you are obviously, to quote Jesus, ignoring the log in your own eye.
