Tulsi Gabbard calls out Islamist violence, receives hate from progressives and gets branded ‘Hindutva fascist’

Tulsi Gabbard in a recent tweet spoke out against Islamist violence, which received flak and hate from American progressives online. Tulsi Gabbard, a former US Congresswoman, criticized the Islamist ideology for having inspired the terrorist attacks and declaration of war against America after the 9/11 attack.

She also said that it is the Islamist ideology which fueled terrorist attacks around the world and is the foundation for the so-called ‘Islamic’ countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and their discriminatory policies against the Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and the Atheists.
