Here’s a level-headed response to consider:
**A few important points for context:**
1. **Religious practice**: What’s being described as “bathing” is likely *wudu* (ablution) - a ritual washing that Muslims perform before prayer, similar to how some Christians bless themselves with holy water. It’s a normal religious practice, not unusual behavior.
1. **Constitutional rights**: Americans of all faiths, including Muslims, have First Amendment rights to religious expression. People pray in government buildings regularly - there are prayer groups, Bible studies, and meditation spaces in many federal facilities.
1. **Advocacy groups meeting with legislators**: This is literally how democracy works. Every day, dozens of advocacy groups - religious, corporate, environmental, veteran organizations, etc. - meet with members of Congress. Meeting with a constituent group doesn’t equal endorsement of every position they hold.
1. **The framing**: The language here (“Islamification,” “full Islamic garb,” multiple alarm emojis) is designed to provoke fear rather than inform. Traditional religious dress - whether a hijab, a yarmulke, or a cross - is protected expression in America.
1. **Verify claims**: The characterization of these organizations and their alleged terrorist ties should be verified through credible sources, not social media claims. Strong accusations require strong evidence.
**Bottom line**: If there are genuine concerns about facility use or appropriateness of specific activities, those can be addressed through normal channels without inflammatory rhetoric about any religious group.
If America was being bombed day and night because of something horrific our government did, and many innocent Americans and American children were being killed and traumatically injured, and we begged for mercy, but the rest of the world said,
“Americans voted for their government so they deserve it, their government is bad so all Americans are bad, therefore this is what they get and must be done”
And the world was silent to our suffering.
And no one came to our aid.
And our cities and homes were bombed and turned to rubble.
And our infrastructure was destroyed, no farms, no grocery stores, no more organized society.
And no one helped our injured and hungry children.
How would you feel?
What would you think?
What would you do?
This is what is happening to Gaza where in spite of what we have all been told, many innocent people and children are being killed and they are not Hamas.
Does Hamas deserve it? Yes.
Do innocent people and children deserve it? No.
The innocent people in Gaza did not kill and kidnap the innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th.
Just as we spoke out and had compassion for the victims and families of Oct7, how can Americans not speak out and have compassion for the masses of innocent people and children in Gaza?
Is one type of innocent life worthy and another type of innocent life worth nothing?
For me, I think God sees all innocent lives the same and he loves them all. As a matter of fact, He sent his own son for all people, that’s how much He loves us.
America funds Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.
Actually correction.
U.S. taxpayers fund Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.
That means every U.S. tax payer is contributing to Israel’s military actions.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with.
And I will not be silent about it.
Things don’t magically improve—they fall apart. Decay is the default. Real progress takes action. So don’t just critique from behind a screen—show up. Be like @CEOLawyer. He didn’t wait for someone else to fix it. He stood up, took the case, and brought justice with courage and compassion.

🚑 Didn’t go to the ER after a wreck? Insurance companies LOVE that. They’ll argue you weren’t really hurt, when it's usually adrenaline masking the pain. Injuries can take days to show—don’t let them sweep your case under the mat. 🥋⚖️
💡 Fun fact: In Georgia, you’re required to carry liability insurance—but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Protect yourself with Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. It’s the insurance equivalent of a black belt [bonus: $100K/$300K is what we recommend in UM coverage] 🥋⚖️
⚠️ Don’t Say This to Adjusters:
“It’s fine, I feel okay.” 🚫
They’ll use those words to devalue your claim, even when it's part of our normal parlance. Let’s reframe that: “I'll have my attorney contact you.” 🥋⚖️
From the basement office to a thriving firm, Mrs. Gay Hartley has been the backbone of The Awad Law Firm since day one! To honor her dedication, we surprised her with a brand new car 🚗💨! Loyalty deserves recognition, and we’re beyond grateful for her leadership! #Gratitude
🚨 Insurance offered $1,000. We said, “Not on our watch.” Through relentless negotiation, we turned that into $250,000—without even stepping into court. Results matter. Watch how we did it: https://t.co/nkJf2boWTE 🥋⚖️

Abandon Harris Campaign and Muslim-American Imams Call on Muslim Voters to Reject Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing at the Ballot Box
"Over the past few weeks, we have seen several organizations claiming to represent the Muslim-American community either directly endorse the Harris-Walz ticket, as Emgage has done, or offer indirect support, like Uncommitted," said Hudhayfah Ahmad, spokesperson for the Abandon Harris Campaign.
"This letter, signed by respected Muslim-American religious scholars, represents voices our community turns to for guidance in local mosques and at national Muslim conventions. It is a clear stance on where the overwhelming majority of the Muslim-American community stands: against genocide. And more signatures are on the way.”
The #ICJ ruling TODAY emphasizes that all states and international organizations, including the United Nations, have a legal obligation not to recognize Israel’s actions in the occupied territories. They must not provide aid that supports the continuation of the occupation.
The #ICJ the highest tribunal on intl law, has essentially confirmed that #Israel is an apartheid state, that it must dismantle all settlements and that it must allow the return of those Palestinians it displaced.
