It is too easy to mock the crude prejudices of the Tea Party. But in the US, Islamophobia has universal sanction, from Bill Maher to Bill O’Reilly. The following is therefore disturbing but not entirely surprising. Kudos to Anderson Cooper for bringing some sense to American mainstream television.
I would like to thank Anderson Cooper for being honest about the issue and giving time to both parties. He really impressed me for his stand with Ms. Ellmers.
A reasoned and polite engagement of the Congresswoman is most desired in defeating the curse of ignorant Islamophobes. We should not condemn her for her mis- information. It up to us to show her true Islam.
