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.

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.
