American member of congress Mo Brooks has claimed in a radio interview that Muslims have “great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith”. Brooks used this claim to criticise Muslim congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. A clip of Brooks’ inflammatory statement, which has been circulating online, has caused outrage. And this isn’t the first time he’s provoked such a reaction.
“Muslims more so than most people have great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith. As you have more and more Muslims in the US, as they gain greater and greater influence in elections…you’re going to see more people like @IlhanMN, @RashidaTlaib.” –@RepMoBrooks1,08618:53 – 24 Aug 2019
