The breaking of the fast was the first to be organized by three Muslim members of Congress and be attended by party leadership

The congressional Iftar marked a rare opportunity for the handful of Muslim members in Congress to open up about their faith and break fast in the holy month of Ramadan with their colleagues on Capitol Hill at a time when they are routinely vilified on the right.

Since their arrival to the nation’s capital in January, Omar and Tlaib have been the subject of intense attacks from Donald Trump and Republicans over their criticism of US policy toward Israel.

“It doesn’t matter what you do or what you say – if you’re a Muslim, it’s going to get exaggerated,” Carson told the crowd.

The crowd assembled at the Iftar comprised Muslim congressional staffers, government officials and other community members. Speakers included the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer, Senate minority whip, Dick Durbin, and representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive star and close friend of Omar’s and Tlaib’s.

Interesting that you realise "stand" can be "hate". "Stand for something", is what boko haram would claim they are doing. We could claim the " stand too firm". Thankfully, America doesn't stand so firm. If it did it would likely be the "Land of the Free Brave White Christians"!
