The facts are all over the web confirmed by major news outlets. Here are some reported by the Times of Israel:
- the pro-Trump influencer, Valentina Gomez, in the ad. She is dressed in camo pants and a campaign T-shirt bearing the silhouette of a rifle.
- Then, she uses a flamethrower to burn a copy of Islam’s holy book.
- “We’re done turning the other cheek,” Gomez says, inverting one of Jesus’s parables. “Remember, David didn’t pray for Goliath — he killed them (sic). America is a Christian nation.”
- “Those terrorist Muslims can #$*% (swear word) off to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true god, and that is the God of Israel,” she declares, as a song by Kanye West — self-proclaimed “Nazi” rapper — plays in the background.
- The campaign spot ends with a campaign logo in which the ‘i” in “Valentina” is shown as a bullet, above the slogan: “Powered by Jesus Christ.”
- Gomez, 26, hails from Colombia and immigrated to the US as a child with her family. In a tweet earlier this week, she described herself as armed, unvaccinated, “without pronouns,” and “100% America first.”
- An avid supporter of US President Donald Trump, Gomez is challenging fellow Republican Rep. John Carter to represent Texas’s 31st Congressional District in the US House of Representatives
- Her Quran-burning ad was denounced on Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League.
- “This campaign ad from GOP candidate Valentina Gomez is fueled by hate and anti-Muslim bigotry. Burning a sacred religious text like the Quran can incite violence and put people in danger. This needs to be condemned by all good people of conscience,” the antisemitism watchdog said in a statement.

Comment:
This act is highly despicable but is no surprise for a person without morals in a place named Texas, home to over 282 hog farms. The real question is where is Hamza Yusuf in this matter. Was he not elected by Trump earlier this year?
“President Donald Trump has appointed Shaykh Hamza Yusuf to serve on the advisory board of his Religious Liberty Commission.
The White House confirmed the appointment in a statement issued this week.
They described Sheikh Hamza as “one of the leading proponents of classical learning in Islam and… a co-founder of Zaytuna College, the first accredited Muslim liberal arts college in the United States.”
Where is Omar Sulaiman and Yasir Qadhi? Was this not the purpose of their so called “interfaith” to reduce Islamophobia? Flags cannot be burnt in America but the Quraan Shareef is fine?
The fact is these vile incidents only strengthen a believers relationship with the Quraan Shareef. They cannot harm Allah Ta’alaa at all.
No Harm to Allah Ta’alaa
وَ لَا یَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْكُفْرِ اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَیْئًا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَلَّا یَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظًّا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ
Those who hasten towards disbelief should not make you grieve. They cannot harm Allah at all. Allah intends not to spare for them any share in the Here-after. And for them there is a mighty punishment.
Verse 176, Surah Aal-e-Imraan
Respite to Increase in Sin
In verse 178, Surah Aal-e-Imraan, Allah Ta’alaa still reminds them again:
وَ لَا یَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنَّمَا نُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ خَیْرٌ لِّاَنْفُسِهِمْ اِنَّمَا نُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ لِیَزْدَادُوْۤا اِثْمًا وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ
And those who disbelieve should not think that the time We give them is good for them. In fact, we give them time only that they may increase in sin. And for them there is a humiliating punishment.
Quraan Eternally Preserved
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ
We, Ourselves, have sent down the Dhikr (the Qur’an), and We are there to protect it
Verse 15, Suratul Hijr
Muslims Defend with Intelligence Preserving Morals
Imaam Bukhari Rahmatullahi ‘Alaihi in his Sahih has included the Hadith below under the chapter of “Good Manners”:
`Aisha (Radhiyallahu ‘anha) said that the Jews came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “As-Samu ‘Alaikum” (death be on you). `Aisha said (to them), “(Death) be on you, and may Allah curse you and shower His wrath upon you!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Be calm, O `Aisha ! You should be kind and lenient, and beware of harshness and Fuhsh (i.e. bad words).” She said (to the Prophet (ﷺ), “Haven’t you heard what they (Jews) have said?” He said, “Haven’t you heard what I have said (to them)? I said the same to them, and my invocation against them will be accepted while theirs against me will be rejected (by Allah). “
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ يَهُودَ، أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ. فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَعَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ، وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ. قَالَ ” مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ، عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ، وَإِيَّاكِ وَالْعُنْفَ وَالْفُحْشَ ”. قَالَتْ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا قَالَ ” أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قُلْتُ رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيُسْتَجَابُ لِي فِيهِمْ، وَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيَّ ”.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6030
Muslims Do Not Go Burning Bibles
A Muslim does not retaliate by burning their books.
Allah Ta’alaa says:
˹O believers!˺ Do not insult what they invoke besides Allah or they will insult Allah spitefully out of ignorance.
Suratul Anaam, Verse 108
A Muslim finds the need now more than ever to defend the Quraan Shareef by reading, memorising and living the Quraan Shareef as Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam has taught us and that can only be done systematically by strictly following one of the four Madhaahib (schools of taught). This is done by holding on to the few true Ulamaa that are living.
The More they Incite Hatred the More the Radiance of Allah Ta’alaa Spreads
Did not Gomez also state, “that Islam in Texas “must be completely eliminated.”
یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّطْفِئُوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَ یَاْبَى اللّٰهُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّتِمَّ نُوْرَهٗ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ
They want to blow out the Light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah rejects everything short of making His light perfect, no matter how the disbelievers may hate it.
Verse 32 of Surah at Tawbah
Muslims must at once Break The False Idea of Interfaith and the Abrahamic Accord
Allah Ta’alaa says:
O believers! Do not take My enemies and yours as trusted allies, showing them affection even though they deny what has come to you of the truth
Chapter 60, Verse 1
Still we ask again and again: WHY THE SILENCE O WORSHIPPERS OF THE INTERFAITH RELIGION? WAS THIS NOT YOUR CLAIM TO SOLVE ISLAMOPHOBIA. YES, WE HEAR THERE ARE FINES IF ONE BURNS TRUMPS AMERICAN FLAG BUT DEAD SILENCE FOR THE SPEECH OF ALLAH TA’ALAA
