During a conservative conference in the US, Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard once again made a strong statement regarding Islamist ideology. She said that the threat from Islamic ideology manifests itself in many forms. As we approach Christmas, Christmas markets are being canceled in Germany due to this threat. Tulsi Gabbard’s statement on global security and religious extremism has now become part of an international debate.
During the AMFest (AmericaFest) event in the US, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard made sharp remarks about Islamist ideology. She said that the threats arising from this ideology are manifesting themselves in many forms and their impact can now be seen globally.
AMFest is a major conservative political conference in the US. Tulsi Gabbard addressed the event and said that as Christmas approaches, Christmas markets are being canceled in Germany due to security threats. She linked this to the Islamist threat, saying that this problem is not limited to just one country.
She said, “When we talk about the threat of Islamism, which is a political ideology, there is no such thing as individual freedom or liberty within it.”
Tulsi Gabbard further stated that it is important to understand the nature of this ideology. She said that, as has been said repeatedly, this ideology is fundamentally incompatible with the foundations of freedom on which America is based.
What did Tulsi Gabbard say?
“The threats arising from this Islamist ideology come in many forms. As we approach Christmas, right now in Germany, Christmas markets are being canceled because of this threat. When we talk about the threat of Islamism, which is a political ideology, there is no such thing as individual freedom or liberty within it. As Charlie has said repeatedly, it is fundamentally incompatible with the foundations of freedom of our country.” ‘The process has already begun within the United States’
Tulsi Gabbard warned about Islamist ideology, stating that it is not a hypothetical or future threat, but a process that has already begun in several places within the United States. According to Gabbard, there have been calls to use American legal and political systems to implement Sharia law, and the signs are clearly visible in places like Houston. She emphasized that this is not a potential threat, but a reality unfolding within the country’s borders.
Example of Paterson, New Jersey
She cited the example of Paterson, New Jersey, saying that the city proudly calls itself the “first Muslim city” and that there are attempts within local governments to implement Islamic principles that are imposed on people through laws or violence.
‘A matter of political ideology’
Tulsi Gabbard said that when discussing the threat of Islamism, it is not merely a religious issue but a matter of political ideology. According to her, this ideology has no place for concepts such as individual freedom or civil liberties.
Incompatible with American foundations
She referenced Charlie’s views and said that this ideology is fundamentally incompatible with the foundations of America, which are based on freedom and individual rights.
‘Source of freedom is God, not the government’
Gabbard argued that in America, the source of freedom is not the government or any authority, but God. She said that only when this understanding is clear can the seriousness of the threat posed by Islamist ideology be truly understood. According to her, this ideology denies the fundamental belief that God has given every individual the right to freedom.
Tulsi’s statement sparks discussion
Currently, Tulsi’s statement is being viewed in the context of global security, religious extremism, and freedom of expression debates. This statement, made at AMFest, comes at a time when security concerns have increased in both Europe and the United States, especially during public events and religious festivals.
What did Tulsi say about the terrorist attack in Australia? Earlier, Tulsi Gabbard reacted to the terrorist attack in Australia. She said that Islamists and Islamism are the biggest threat not only to America but to the freedom, security, and prosperity of the entire world. The massive infiltration of Islamists in Australia has brought the situation to this point.
Gabbard said that this attack should not surprise anyone, as it is a direct result of the large-scale entry of Islamists into Australia.
