What's the reason for that wave of islamophobia ? Elections, hate, deception or mere poor quality ?
RepublicanRemarks by Republican candidate Gabriela Saucedo Mercer that the lifetime goal of Middle Easterners is to cause harm to the United States are sparking outrage for preaching hate and bigotry against Muslims in the country.
"We urge responsible leaders of the Republican Party in Arizona and nationwide to repudiate Ms. Mercer's bigoted comments," Imraan Siddiqi, member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)s chapter in Arizona said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net.
"Her un-American and intolerant remarks are an insult to the millions of Americans of Middle Eastern heritage who have contributed so much to this great nation."

Mercer, who was born in Mexico and is a naturalized US citizen, said in a video aired Tuesday that she does not want to see Middle Easterners in the US as their goal is only to cause harm to the country.
If you know Middle Easterners, a lot of them they look Mexican or like a lot of people in South America - dark skin, dark hair, brown eyes, and they mix in," she said in the interview, recorded last year by WesternFreePress.com.
"And those people, their only goal in life is to cause harm to the United States. So why do we want them here, either legally or illegally?"
