Zead Ramadan, a board member on the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Tuberville’s post has no place in political discourse.
“All it’s going to do is stamp their resume as someone who is hateful and divisive and attacks fellow Americans, who may happen to be Muslims. How do we know it’s not going to be a Jew who’s next, or a different denomination of Christianity who’s next, or a Hindu who’s next? This is just the kind of rhetoric that makes us weaker as Americans, not makes us stronger,” Ramadan said.
Ramadan added normalizing hate against one group tends to normalize hate against others, a violation of the constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom.

Public policy should be grounded in evidence and due process, not collective blame.”
