Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville was referring to Mamdani’s swearing-in on a Quran. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has documented a history of anti-Muslim statements from him.
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama posted on social media: “The enemy is inside the gates” upon learning that Zohran Mamdani became the first mayor of New York City to be sworn in using a Quran.
The Quran is the primary religious text of Islam, akin to the Christian Bible. Mamdani is the first Muslim mayor of New York, the nation’s largest city.
Tuberville, a conservative football coach-turned-politician, has a history of making anti-Muslim statements, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Why do we talk about Alabama like it’s a serious place?
They are very proud but objectively…
Alabama is rated at the top for businesses to move in, because they openly fuck over their citizens. They’re rated at the bottom 5 for quality of life and healthcare. 1 in 5 kids in Alabama live in poverty. They have the highest in infant mortality rate, higher than most countries.
Also high crime areas. Not to mention they continue to cut the budget for their environmental funding.
Alabama is pretty much a pro-business, anti-life state.
