What's being aimed at Abdul El-Sayed by Trump is not a policy disagreement. It is the President calling a Michigan-born doctor a "jihadist" and saying he'd need a metal detector to enter the Senate. It is a sitting senator mocking him with a nickname about his faith. It is crowds shouting "traitor" at the sound of his name, and a flood of online smears about his religion, his family, and his community.
Let’s call this what it is: Islamophobia.
I've always said: before you tell me about your religion, show it to me in how you treat other people. By that measure, the people attacking Abdul's faith are failing their own.
Hate aimed at a Muslim is poisonous, just as is hate aimed at a Jew, a Christian, a Sikh, or anyone else. It is beneath the presidency, beneath the Senate, and beneath who we are as Americans.
Debate ideas. But we have to reject the politics of hate, and we have to do it out loud.

OMG! Katie Zacharia is even worse than I could have ever imagined.
It was almost as if Hannity tried getting her to flop in this discussion.
What a disaster, 19 days before the election.

Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala reveals her worst days in office as Finance Minister.
She noticed large sum of money was being spent on fuel subsidy to oil importers. She investigated and discovered a $2.4 billion fraud. So she refused to pay the importers.
This led to threats to her and her mother got kidnapped. For her mother to be released, the kidnappers asked her to resign and leave the country.
But the mother later escaped and kidnappers were caught.

Racist messages such as those targeting #tennis player @CocoGauff online are appalling and illustrate that Black female athletes are specifically targeted for vitriol and racial abuse. There is no place in sport for racial or sexist slurs and abuse. Players, coaches, and sports bodies need to stand up for those facing such attacks and fans need to push back against those who sully sport with racism and sexism.

We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else. Republicans nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign relationships. We should not unplug it now. ‘Trust us’ was not enough then, and it is not enough now.

The corruption of Donald Trump's White House is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the United States. It’s cronyism and kleptocracy literally on the scale of Vladimir Putin and other dictatorships. We must hold all of them accountable.
