  • Congressional Republicans echo anti-Muslim rhetoric as Islamophobic incidents rise | Reuters

    "Ironically, the only people trying ​to impose their religion on America are those ​politicians who seek to ban Muslims from ⁠our nation, who try to force public school teachers to read the Bible to their students, and who demand that our nation go to war in the Middle East to fulfill their end times prophecies," CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw said in a statement. Using the same image of ​Mamdani as Tuberville did, Rep. Andrew Clyde from Georgia said on X Thursday that Democrats "whine" about the separation of church and state ​when public officials post Christian ⁠images but "when it’s Islam, they welcome it."

  • Aux Etats-Unis, le meurtre d’un imam abattu en pleine rue ravive les craintes des musulmans

    Le gouverneur démocrate de l’Etat du New Jersey Phil Murphy, où résident des centaines de milliers de musulmans et de juifs, a «assuré la communauté musulmane et les fidèles de toutes croyances que tout serait mis en œuvre pour leur sécurité» après la mort par balles d’un imam mercredi à l’extérieur d’une mosquée de Newark, près de New York. Les responsables de l’enquête sur la mort d’Hassan Sharif, figure locale de Newark et qui était aussi agent de sécurité à l’aéroport international de Newark, ont écarté a priori un crime à caractère raciste ainsi que la piste du «terrorisme» en allusion aux tueries racistes par des suprémacistes blancs.

  • Christians Under Assault | Hoover Institution Christians Under Assault

    Sadly, religious intolerance is making a comeback today, including in the U.S. One need only recall the shootings at places of worship: 2015 at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, 2018 at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, 2025 at the Church of the Annunciation Minneapolis, and at the Chapel of the Church of Latter Day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Add to this the aggressive protests outside the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan this November. Meanwhile overseas, animosity to faith continues with the Chinese campaign against the Uighur Muslims, Iran’s hostility toward Christians, Zoroastrians and Bahai adherents, and conflicts between Hindus and Muslims in India, including the cold-blooded attacks of April 22, 2025, in the Baisaran Valley in Kashmir when Islamists killed 22 tourists, mainly Hindus.

  • Islam aux États-Unis — Wikipédia

    On compte 1 209 mosquées aux États-Unis, dont plus de la moitié ont été construites au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années. Les premiers cas documentés de musulmans sur le sol américain sont Ayuba Suleiman Diallo et Omar ibn Saïd, deux esclaves d'Afrique de l'Ouest arrivés dans le pays au XIXe siècle, mais avant eux on peut noter la présence d'Estevanico (Mustapha Al Azemmouri), originaire du Maroc, et qui explore le pays de la Floride jusqu'à l'Arizona dans les rangs des conquistadors espagnols au début du XVIe siècle.
