A new wave of concern has emerged in the United States as both major political parties, Democrats and Republicans, face criticism for showing tolerance toward Islamophobic rhetoric and policies.
Human rights groups and Muslim organizations have condemned what they describe as a “bipartisan normalization of anti-Muslim bias,” saying it is deepening division and discrimination across the country.
Analysts argue that Islamophobia has become a political tool used by figures on both sides to gain support, especially during elections. From foreign policy debates to domestic security issues, Muslim communities often find themselves unfairly targeted.
Experts warn that this growing comfort with Islamophobia is not only damaging to Muslims but also undermines democratic values and the nation’s commitment to equality and religious freedom.
Civil rights leaders are calling for stronger accountability, urging political leaders to reject hateful narratives and promote genuine inclusion and understanding among all faiths.
