Biden using the term “inshallah” to mean “never” shows deep Arabphobia and Islamophobia. This man is not fit for office.

Biden making a mockery of the term Inshallah is very offensive to Muslims. It is a part of the Quranic verse وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّه (Do not say of anything: 'I will do it tomorrow unless God wills it (inshallah) Ch 18 v 22

If Biden became president and agreed with an Arab leader on something and that leader says “inshallah”, what will Biden do? @JoeBiden needs to apologise for this Islamophobic remark #PresidentialDebate2020

Loving the comments on my tweet, particularly the aggressive ones. Clearly, Western leftists are now experienced Arabic linguists! So let’s agree on something: Inshallah Biden wins or Inshallah Trump wins? Perhaps @JoeBiden can respond? #Debates2020

On serious note, I’m not American & have no vote. Americans decide what is best for them. But as far as Muslims r concerned, whether in UK or Mid East, most prefer Trump to Biden/Obama. Both have + & - but Arabs won’t forgive Obama for empowering Islamist extremists #Debates2020

Under Obama, Iran was empowered and able to launch the deadliest attacks against civilian populations in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen & Iraq. Under Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt threatening the Copts. Under Obama, ISIS flourished. Those are facts that can’t be dismissed

People criticize Trump for the so called “Muslim ban”. I can’t comment on it because I haven’t looked deeply enough into it, but surely that’s minor compared to the hundreds of thousands of Muslim lives lost that Obama’s anti Arab policies led to?
