A prominent Muslim civil rights organization is calling on Governor Mike Braun to publicly condemn recent anti-Islam remarks made by Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued the statement following a “Faith Over Fear” interfaith rally at the Statehouse last week.
Religious and political leaders at the event urged the governor to take a stronger stance against Beckwith’s comments, which described Islam as a “death cult.”
The governor’s office has not yet responded to media requests regarding the rally or the civil rights group’s demands.
