THAT IS A KNOWN FACT.
It is not a drummed up revelation by a radical Democrat that the political extremist right wing lead by the Trump seems to think it is.
As a matter of fact there was a man sentenced recently for the death of three innocent Muslims in a parking lot as they walked to their car.

Three absolutely wonderful and magnificent young people gunned down for absolutely no reason except hate. When Trump uses hate in regard to a Congresswomen he is backing the killer and inspiring more.

For a North Carolina Muslim father, (click here) the pain of losing his two daughters and son-in-law is “just as sharp now” as it was on the day they were fatally shot four years ago.
“Three beautiful young Americans were brutally murdered, and there is no question in our minds that this tragedy was born of bigotry and hate,” Dr. Mohammad Abu-Salha told a U.S. Congressional committee Tuesday, according to a live video feed.
Abu-Salha spoke during a hearing on “Hate Crimes and the Rise of White Nationalism.”...
That is an example of the ongoing issues facing Muslims and their community after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
There is a laundry list of these problems, including a community center in New York City. There has been review after review of the problems with civil rights fo Muslims after September 11, 2001.

...Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., (click here) writing for the majority, stressed that the material-support law applied only to speech directed by or coordinated with terrorist groups. People “may say anything they wish on any topic” without running afoul of the law, the chief justice said, so long as they are speaking independently.
Aggressive use of material support and similar laws, critics responded, chipped away at two principles that had been thought settled for about half a century. One was that mere membership in a subversive organization cannot be made a crime. The other is that the abstract advocacy of even the violent overthrow of the government must be tolerated under the First Amendment.
The Humanitarian Law Project decision “is akin to the kind of criminalization in the McCarthy era of speech and guilt by association,” said David D. Cole, a law professor at Georgetown who represented the challengers in the Humanitarian Law Project case as a lawyer with the Center for Constitutional Rights.
A second law already on the books, this one allowing the arrest and detention of material witnesses — people said to have evidence of others’ crimes — was misused, critics say, as a shadow preventive detention regime. Instead of using the law to make sure people with information about the wrongdoing of others would turn up to testify, these critics said, prosecutors used the law to hold people themselves suspected of links to terrorism....
Just to be clear, I believe Donald Trump is a subversive. So, before Trump sidles up to the extremist white people he caters to and decides they know more about life and life in the USA than any other, he needs to realize his hate speech is a WEAPON and not simply a campaign tool. That has been proven over and over. His supporters have real arsenals and real bombs and real bomb making equipment. Decent Americans have been targeted and those targeted have been verbalized by Trump in his hate speech. There is a direct link.
When Speaker Pelosi states the president needs to REMOVE his hate postings of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, then he needs to do it. We know he has no real regard for women, but, that does not justify his hatred of them or any one in particular.
Besides all the civil rights problems of the past and including those that linger today, the USA has done a heck of a job in the area of radicalization as well. The use of the law and law enforcement has driven more than one American Muslim into the arms of extremism and Americans, including Fort Hood soldiers, have paid the price.
When Congresswoman Ilhan Omar speaks out about her constituents and their grievances, the American people and US House need to listen. When we listen as lawmakers or as a nation, it allows a depth of understanding and truth telling that brings about change. Change and fairness and awareness is what ends radicalization before it begins. It is what the USA is supposed to be about. Free speech and truth telling is our justice and is the path to the future for all Americans.
The fear mongering of the extremist right is about creating leverage for an election and it has absolutely nothing to do with the process Americans embrace to bring about justice and removal of stigma. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is exerting her right for free speech and there should be open hearts and minds to understand her statements and how we as Americans can address them WITHOUT HATE!
