Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville ignited a firestorm on Wednesday night, demanding the federal government to “IMMEDIATELY BAN all ISLAM immigrants and DEPORT every single Islamist who is living among us” — hours after an  Afghan national ambushed and shot two National Guardsmen  near the White House. According to reports, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal is from the Khost province of Afghanistan, a Pashtun-majority area bordering Pakistan where over 99% of the population is Muslim — predominantly Sunni. His first name, Rahmanullah, also means “Mercy of Allah” or “Compassion of Allah” in Arabic. During the attack, D.C. authorities say that Lakanwal shouted “Allahu Akbar!” (“God is Great”), an Arabic phrase commonly associated with Islamic declarations. This has been cited by certain law enforcement officials as likely indicative of an Islamist motive. In a post on X that has rapidly surpassed thousands of likes and reposts, the former Auburn football coach-turned-Ala...
