Indian-origin venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani has defended Donald Trump aide Laura Loomer’s views on ‘Islamophobia’ and said that “fantasizing about any ideology that calls for your murder” is normal and not a phobia. Motwani said she was confronted by a young man distributing Quran, who told her to her face that if she did not convert he would have to kill her. Motwani said the incident occurred in downtown Palo Alto. Loomer’s visit to India to attend a media conclave in New Delhi was widely criticized as she had said terrible things against India and people of Indian origin in the past. At the conclave, she apologized for her previous social media posts and said that she should have said some hateful things, however she said that she would not take back the words she said against H-1B workers in the US because she stands for America First. On his ‘Islamophobia’, Loomer said that Islamophobia is not real and that the faith clearly calls for the killing of non-Muslims. “Everyone who is not Muslim should honestly be afraid of this ideology,” he said. Loomer said that Islam is “a cancer to the world” and that there should be no Muslim elected politicians in America. Speaking about Pakistan, Loomer said, “Mostly all terrorism is coming from Pakistan.”Loomer continued her anti-Islamic statements on social media as Indian social media users reminded her that Laura said the Taj Mahal, which she was planning to see with her fiancé during her trip to India, was built by a Muslim ruler. Many Indian academics and scholars condemned Laura Loomer’s Islamophobia, leading to an uproar on social media. “You are neither a Hindu nor an Indian. Keep your poison to yourself. I am an Indian, and we love and respect all religions.” This is secular India,” Indian activist and professor Rakhi Tripathi posted, reacting to Laura Loomer’s post. “Read the Quran. There is no such thing as secularism or coexistence in Islam. If there was secularism in Muslim countries, then why are Muslim countries governed by Sharia? Do you want India to become a Muslim country? There are 207 million Muslims in India. That’s enough to conquer a country. Every freedom-loving nation must wake up to the threat of Islam before it is too late. Save yourself,” Laura Loomer responded.
