State leaders speak out about plans to expand the Islamic Academy of Alabama

[essentialsaltes]

Plans proposed by the K-12 school were denied by a Hoover zoning commission.

In a statement, the Academy said objections to their plan were “…unrelated to zoning criteria and instead reflected harmful stereotypes and conspiracy theories about Muslims and Islamic institutions.”

[Article provides ample evidence of the harmful stereotypes and conspiracy theories]

“We really just don’t have a place for such here,” said Rep. Butler. “Where you’re screaming ‘kill the infidel, death to America.’ That’s just not welcome here. There are plenty of Muslim countries that would welcome that.”

“What they’re doing is going against our Constitution,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) in an interview with Breanna Morella on Infowars, speaking out against the Academy. “I mean, you can’t preach hate, you can’t preach death. ‘Kill all infidels. Kill all Christians.’ You can’t do that.”

We have an actual US Senator interviewing on Infowars???

No wonder this country is in such a muddle. People with real power having no sense of whats real. I guess thats what we get when enough of the voters are similarly afflicted.

(Im "holding space" for the possibility this didnt even happen. Its almost too absurd.)

Hey he has a BS in physical education. I looked it up. Tho this is America where coach > teacher.

Plus you dont need a degree to have your head screwed on properly.
