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

I work with with American Muslims regularly. Some of their families have been in this country longer than yours. Their sons and daughters have fought and died for America starting with the Revolution.

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.
