Today we are live tweeting the U.S. House's scheduled floor vote and anticipated approval of #HR5665, Rep. @Ilhan Omar and @RepSchakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act.

IA, one step closer to having a @StateDept Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia.

#Congress (@HouseDemocrats + @HouseGOP) today needs to pass the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).

American Muslims are proud to see @RepAndreCarson "Dean of the Muslim Caucus" leading today's House floor proceedings, debate, and vote on the Rep. @Ilhan and Rep. @janschakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).

Thank you @RepMcGovern for standing on the House floor to introduce Rep. @Ilhan Omar and Rep. @janschakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).

Disappointing but predictable. @GReschenthaler leading the @HouseGOP charge against the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).

Thank you @RepJudyChu for standing in support of the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665), against #Islamophobia, and for the rights of Muslims across the world.

Thank you, Rep. @JacksonLeeTX18 for taking the House floor to support the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and standing up to anti-Muslim bigotry.

Scratching our heads... @HouseGOP Reps. @GReschenthaler and @RepMullin are debating gas prices instead of denouncing #Islamophobia. There is still time to support the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665)...

It's shameful that @RepDanCrenshaw would suggest the American people do not care about #Islamophobia during the debate of the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Tell that to the thousands of American Muslims who have directly faced anti-Musim bigotry, or worse.

Good lord why would the @HouseGOP let anti-Muslim bigot @RepMTG take the floor in opposition to the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). MTG couldn't help herself & promoted the anti-Muslim #Islamophobic conspiracy theory of "No Go Zones" in Europe. Disgraceful.

.@HouseForeign Committee Chair @RepGregoryMeeks reopens the House floor debate & consideration of Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Reports that @POTUS @JoeBiden supports the creation of a Special Envoy to Combat, Monitor, & #StopIslamophobia at the @StateDept

CAIR express its disappointment that Ranking @HouseForeignGOP Member @RepMcCaul and @HouseGOP would continue to vehemently oppose the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). #StopIslamophobia

Congresswoman @Ilhan Omar takes the House floor to champion the passage of her legislation the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Thank you, Rep. Omar and @RepSchakowsky for your leadership in fighting all forms of bigotry! #StopIslamophobia

Sad. @RepSteveChabot fails to spark fears that adoption of the Combating International #Islamophobia Act would silence criticism of Islam and Islamic principles (#Sharia). #CreepingShariaHysteria continues to scare Chabot & keep him up at night. #StopIslamophobia

House floor debate on the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) has been momentarily halted due to @RepScottPerry's #Islamophobic meltdown targeting Rep. @Ilhan Omar. Debate should conclude shortly followed by a vote, Inshallah. #StopIslamophobia

While @RepScottPerry's Islamophobic attack on Rep. @Ilhan Omar was stricken from the record, @RepAndyBarr is trying his best to play #IslamophobicBingo hitting every key word spanning "Islamic Terrorism" "Jihad" "Sharia" "Political Correctness" and "Good vs. Bad Muslims."

Thank you @RepBarbaraLee for speaking of the true about the threat of global Islamophobia whether it is in China, Burma, India, France, or anywhere else around the word. Together we will pass the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and #StopIslamophobia.

Thank you @RepDebDingell @RepAlGreen @JacksonLeeTX18 and all the other Members of Congress with the @HouseDemocrats who stood up to pass the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and #StopIslamophobia.

Thank you, Rep. @RashidaTlaib for standing before Congress in supporting the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and defending Muslim here in the U.S., Congress, and around the world. #StopIslamophobia

Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for standing with the American Muslim community and Rep. @Ilhan Omar in supporting the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Together we will #StopIslamophobia around the globe.
