Tuberville has drawn criticism for similar remarks, which critics have labeled “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and for introducing the “No Sharia Act,” which would bar courts from enforcing foreign law in the U.S.
In December, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) placed Tuberville on its list of anti-Muslim extremists.
CAIR: Inside Texas Republicans’ Effort to Make the Midterms About Islamophobia – Talking Points Memo
Mustafaa Carroll runs CAIR-Texas. He’s originally from Gary, Indiana, and told TPM that his initial ambition in life was to become a Christian pastor. That changed as he grew more involved in activism during the Civil Rights Movement as a young man.
“For many of us who converted during that period, that had a lot to do with it. We were Christians, and we couldn’t imagine, ‘how is it that other Christians are beating us up? How are they hanging people at lynchings and doing all this stuff and claiming that it’s Christianity?’” he recalled. “And so I think it would be intellectually dishonest for me to say that didn’t have anything to do with it.”
CAIR-Texas has no foreign funding, Carroll said — he laughed off the attacks. “There’s nothing new under the sun. They shut the NAACP down in Texas back in the day.”
Carroll said that Muslims in the area have been a target since 9/11. Their numbers have grown, but that hasn’t stopped them from feeling like outsiders, in large part because federal and state governments periodically revive lingering suspicions of terrorism. The city where TPM met with Carroll, Richardson, hosted the Holy Land Foundation, which was designated a terrorist organization by President Bush in 2001 and the subject of prosecutions during the War on Terror.
