Anti-Islam Rhetoric

Florida House Speaker Insults American Muslims Again

Rep. Adam Hasner walked out of the floor of the legislature just before an Islamic prayer opened the session. He returned just after the prayer was finished. This is yet another reason to ask Hasner to step down. He cohosted and event where the Dutch politician Geert Wilders said that Muslims should not have religious freedom because Islam is not a legitimate religion.

American Muslims are being asked to call upon the speaker of Florida’s House of Representatives and ask that Hasner be removed from office. They are asking that the speaker defend religious freedom and interfaith tolerance and that Hasner’s actions are not befitting an elected official. Hasner has tried to block “Florida Muslim Capitol Day” and sponsored a screening of the anti-Muslim film “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” for legislators.
