US Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) stated that fear of Islam is justified, contrasting the reactions he says a shout of "Allahu Akbar" would provoke versus "Thank God" or "Baruch Hashem" in Washington. Fine argued that Americans need more fear of Islam, not less, as he compared public responses to Muslim and Jewish religious expressions.
US Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) made an on-record statement in which he argued that fear of Islam is justified, describing how a shouted "Allahu Akbar" in Washington on the Fourth of July would send everyone diving for cover behind cars, while "Thank God" or "Baruch Hashem" would prompt a smile. "We need more fear of Islam, not less," Fine said. The remarks, posted Sunday afternoon, continue Fine's pattern of sharp commentary on Islam and Israel. As The Zioneer previously reported, Fine has criticized VP JD Vance's tone toward Israel as sounding hostile and urged Israeli politicians to adopt an 'Israel First' policy. The statements are Fine's own and reflect his personal views; no official reaction has been reported.
