Muslim American groups say Republicans are weaponizing congressional hearings
Muslim American groups say Republican-led hearings, titled "Sharia-Free America," are weaponizing government against them. They believe these hearings stoke fear and single out Muslims. The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations said the hearings engaged in "the politics of fear." Critics argue such actions revive harmful tropes and are unnecessary.
