The Islamophobia is getting out of hand.

It is too much to expect the Republican candidates to call out the million-billionaire ads that seek to create irrational fear about the Democratic candidates for the USA Senate, so let me give it a go.

I have never seen that dish being prepared in the video below. Heck, I have never heard of it before. As a young person my grandmother would fix some profoundly Polish dishes for Easter. Every Easter she would have her homemade Polish Kishka in a basket along with other items she planned to serve at Easter Breakfast and Supper. She then donned her babushka and went to the church basement with all the other women to have her basket blessed. 

Pizza has a long history. Flatbreads with toppings were consumed by the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. (The latter ate a version with herbs and oil, similar to today’s focaccia.) But the modern birthplace of pizza is southwestern Italy's Campania region, home to the city of Naples.

The United States of America is a melting pot. It is not okay to bring people from other countries to the USA to fill employment needs and then turn around after promising them a dream come true deport them back to the nightmare where they left.

Every ethnic population in the USA has faced discrimination at one time or another, but, they were able to get to the other side of the discrimination and bring diversity to this country with a deeper knowledge and acceptance of difference. 

There is a problem with the current Republican party. They want to have the country abandon not just people of different skin color, but, our proud heritage as a melting pot of ethnic diversity that has culturally enriched this country. It is good for Americans to accept difference and exercise tolerance to create a strong country. Every ethnic identity in the USA has served in the USA military. Every form of religious practice has been within the minds and hearts of the soldiers that proudly defended this democracy and sacrificed their lives. Those soldiers and their faiths are displayed on the tombstones in Arlington National Cemetery and national cemeteries all over this country. 

In the year 2026, the Republicans want to rule this country by taking a majority in the USA House and USA Senate. They are not interested in governance. They are mocking diversity and proliferating hate for difference by creating fear of a religion and culture. 

Look, I want this recipe. I have never tried the dish but it looks plenty interesting. 

I may not wear the traditional dress of the Muslim women, but, I have relatives that wore babushkas to church and by damn it, they will continue to do so if they want to. I welcome the breath of fresh air and the amazing energy of Abdul El-Sayed. It is good to have a guy on our side that is a physician. He knows what it is like to be a patient and seek the help of competent people to solve complicated problems of longevity. 

Any fear mongering to instill islamophobia is not truth in advertising, it is tabloid nonsense and does not belong in a moral USA.
