The reason, to me, it comes across as islamophobia is that the article has nothing whatsoever to do with her faith, apart from where she’s talked about facing similar marginalisation for her identity. So the OC espousing a stance against the merging of religion and state just comes across as “muslims shouldn’t hold office” as it relates to this post, this article and this woman. She very literally talks about islamophobia she’s faced in life, and OC just turns around and tries to argue she shouldn’t be an elected representative, how is that not prejudice?
