Tulsi Gabbard Statement: During the big conservative political conference AMFest (AmericaFest) organized in America, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made sharp remarks about Islamist ideology. He said that the dangers arising from this ideology are no longer limited to just one country, rather its impact can be clearly seen at the global level.
Addressing AMFest, Tulsi Gabbard said that as Christmas is approaching, many Christmas markets in Germany are being canceled due to security reasons. Linking it to the Islamist threat, he said that this problem is not of any one country but has become an international challenge.
‘This is a political ideology’
Tulsi Gabbard clarified that Islamism should not be seen only in a religious context. According to him, it is a political ideology, within the framework of which there is no place for concepts like individual freedom and civil liberties. He said that this ideology is fundamentally inconsistent with America’s freedom-based foundation.
Claims of increasing activities within America
Gabbard warned that this is not an imaginary or future possibility, but this process has already started in many places within America. He claimed that demands and efforts are emerging to implement Shariat law using American legal and political systems. According to him, its signs can be seen in places like Houston.
Patterson city example
Giving the example of the city of Paterson in New Jersey, he said that there it is proud to call itself the ‘first Muslim city’ and efforts are being made to implement such Islamic principles at the local level, which are being tried to be imposed on the people through laws or violence.
Said to be inconsistent with American values
Citing Charlie’s views, Tulsi Gabbard said that Islamist ideology is against the basic principles of America – freedom and individual rights. He said that the source of freedom in America is not the government but God, and this core belief conflicts with this ideology.
Statement at the center of global debate
This statement of Tulsi Gabbard given at AMFest is currently at the center of the debate related to global security, religious extremism and freedom of expression. This comment has come at a time when there are increased concerns about security during public events and religious festivals in Europe and America.
Australia has also given statement on attack
Earlier, while reacting to the terrorist attack in Australia, Tulsi Gabbard had said that Islamists and Islamism are a big threat not only to America but to the freedom, security and prosperity of the entire world. He said that such attacks are not unexpected due to the increasing infiltration of Islamists in Australia.
