Why Does Mainstream Media Ignore Islamization in the US?

The nail bomb in New York City as well as other attacks by people from Muslim countries, plus the fraud in Minnesota, are a loud warning about who should be allowed into the United States. People of other religions do violent attacks and fraud, but Muslims do the majority of both.

This fact should be loudly proclaimed by media sources, but “America’s mainstream media mostly ignored Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s detailed warning about the growing threat of Islamization in the United States.” This warning “was issued a few days before Christmas” 2025 at a Turning Point USA event. Mark Tapscott reported the following: 

Conservative media like The Daily Caller devoted significant space to the speech, but a search of The New York Times website, for example, turned up no references to the former Democrat congresswoman’s remarks despite the fact that it included this stunningly direct admonition:

“There is a threat to our freedom that is not often talked about enough, and it is the greatest near and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of Islamist ideology. It is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom; their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon us inalienable rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Gabbard pointed to a conference earlier in 2025 in which the Council on American-Islamic Relations “issued a call to action to use the American legal and political systems to overthrow the United States government. This Islamist ideology is a direct threat to our freedom because, at its core, it is a political ideology that seeks to create a global Caliphate that governs here in the U.S., in America, threatening Western civilization – [it is] governance by Sharia law.”

Sharia law is the civil and religious law prescribed by the Islamic religion’s Quran to regulate public and private life. Among much else, Sharia sanctions husbands treating wives as slaves, justifies Islamic men raping non-Islamic women, requires the death penalty for those who identify as homosexual, death by stoning for adulterers, and forces non-Muslims to convert or face death by beheading.

By failing to recognize and take decisive action to defeat this threat, Gabbard predicted, “we will find ourselves in a place where many European countries and countries like Australia have found themselves. Countries where you can get arrested for praying silently on a street corner, as happened in the U.K. countries where you can be arrested for putting up a social media post.”

“In places like Dearborn, Michigan, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, clerics are openly pushing this Islamist ideology, trying to recruit and radicalize young people. This is already underway in places like Houston. This is not something that may possibly happen. It is already happening here within our borders. Paterson, New Jersey, is proud to call themselves the first Muslim city. They are working to implement in their own governments these Islamic principles that are forced on people through the use of laws or violence,” Gabbard said.

The big mainstream media outlets like the Times weren’t talking about Gabbard’s warning last year, but other people across the nation have been and are now talking and acting.

As The Washington Stand recently reported, the newly organized Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives was announced the same week as Gabbard’s address but has since quickly swelled its membership to 43 members, an unusually swift recruitment success … [without a complete pitch being made to enlist members].

Among those joining the caucus was Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, whose district stretches from Oklahoma’s southern border almost to the far-North Dalas suburbs. Gill … pointed to Ndiaga Diagne, the naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal who murdered three people and wounded more than a dozen in Austin, Texas, in the early morning hours of March 1.

“That was somebody who clearly had no business being in America, who was wearing a sweatshirt that said, ‘Property of Allah’ and a tee-shirt with an Iranian flag, who was clearly an Islamist terrorist. The American people are waking up and saying why in the world are these people in my community,” Gill said.

“The problem is across the country, and there are particular epicenters that include the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Minnesota, and then a few other localities and states, but this is fundamentally an immigration issue that needs to be tackled on the federal level,” Gil continued.

Traditionally, American immigration policy required new arrivals to assimilate fully, to adopt and support this country’s political principles of freedom of speech and religion, learn the language, and become independent, productive citizens.

“That hasn’t happened for a long time,” Gill said. “Political Islam is incompatible with the American way of life. We should not be importing people from the Islamic world. It is idiotic and suicidal.” ….

Asked about reports of growing numbers of Muslim candidates seeking local public offices in Texas, Gill said he was told recently by a constituent, “We ought to be aware that it’s happening everywhere. I can tell you in my district in one of the small towns, one of the very small towns, I was speaking to a city official in the past three weeks who was telling me they’ve got issues where there are Islamic centers popping up and who are wanting to blast calls to prayer. This is in rural North Texas. This isn’t big-city Dallas, this is happening everywhere and the time to stop it is now,” Gill declared.
