A new Pew Research Center survey contains a shocking finding: Nearly half of Muslim Americans view Hamas favorably. That's right—Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for murdering at least 46 Americans and taking others hostage on October 7, 2023.
Overall, 44 percent of Muslim American respondents expressed a favorable opinion of Hamas.
This disturbing trend coincides with an increasingly assertive Islamist presence across the United States. In parts of Brooklyn, amplified calls to prayer now ring out from mosques beginning at 5 a.m.. They include the declaration, “There is no god but Allah.”
Religious liberty is a cherished American freedom. But it’s time to realize that many Islamists view such public displays not simply as religious expression, but as symbols of cultural and political ascendancy, here in America.
