So we shouldn't be afraid of a religion and culture that wants to kill all of us non-Muslims?
When I saw this, I scratched my head and scratched my head and scratched my head. With the thousands of anti-Jewish incidents occuring every day and enormous resurgence of Swastikas and Jew-hate all over college campuses, I'm thinking "What in the world? Why is Biden choosing now to worry about Islamophobia?"
As Biden has been quite supportive of Israel and has generally been friendly to Jews, I was completely nonplussed for a few minutes. It kept me awake for maybe 10 or 15 minutes the other night. Does Biden not like Jews? WTF?
Then it hit me.
He did this to mollify the Muslim community, especially in Michigan and Minnesota. They're no doubt upset that he supports Israel and he's afraid that they'll stay home in the 2024 election or vote third party. He can ill afford to lose the Muslim vote, especially in Michigan. So, he is throwing them a bone.
I was fast asleep three minutes later.
