The comment about religion is on an article about a religious person, yes. I guess OP could have gone and found a different article that specifically mentions a different religion in the headline, but that would have been prejudiced against that particular religion, yeah? What are we supposed to just pussyfoot around any naming of any specific religion?
The US doesn't have an anti-christianity issue, it has an anti-islam issue.
The last thing we need is TWO shitty fundamentalist religions battling it out.
That's true! However, the USA does have a Christian Nationalist problem, and the merging of religion and state is a big problem. That's what I thought the commenter was saying; merging religion and the state is bad.
I think it's good that you're watchful for Islamophobia, genuinely, because it's really common and it is a real problem. It's a huge problem over here in the UK, too. I don't think this is a case of Islamophobia, and I don't think it's helpful to treat Islam with kid gloves just because people often disproportionately criticise Islam for all sorts of disingenuous reasons.
The reason, to me, it comes across as islamophobia is that the article has nothing whatsoever to do with her faith, apart from where she's talked about facing similar marginalisation for her identity. So the OC espousing a stance against the merging of religion and state just comes across as "muslims shouldn't hold office" as it relates to this post, this article and this woman. She very literally talks about islamophobia she's faced in life, and OC just turns around and tries to argue she shouldn't be an elected representative, how is that not prejudice?
