Yet by rushing to Cruz’s aid, the Republican leadership is in danger of embracing a candidate who is even more extreme in his Islamophobic posturing than the current frontrunner. Cruz’s foreign policy team includes people who have called for all mosques to be shut down across America, claimed the country is being subverted by the Muslim Brotherhood and decried all followers of the Islamic faith as jihadists.
“This is more than worrying, it is terrifying,” said Nathan Lean, a specialist in Islamophobia at Georgetown University’s Bridge Institute. “Bringing such views into a presidential campaign inflames the anxieties of ordinary Americans and gives them license to amp up scrutiny and skepticism towards the Muslim community.”
The most prominent anti-Muslim among Cruz’s new set of advisers is Frank Gaffney, whose Washington-based thinktank the Center for Security Policy is listed by the monitoring group the Southern Poverty Law Center as an extremist organization devoted to conspiracy theories. A former defense official under Ronald Reagan, Gaffney has long argued that the Egyptian-based Islamic movement the Muslim Brotherhood is actively undermining American society and government in a stealthy power grab that he calls “civilization jihad”.
