Christians Only in Trump Iowa Coalition
The topic of today’s podcast about the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is very simple but very important.
Although there are many non-Christian religious organizations all across the state of Iowa, only Christians are represented in Donald Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
There are 23 Jewish organizations in Iowa, 22 Buddhist organizations, 21 Islamic organizations, 4 Hindu temples, and many other non-Christian religious organizations.
Nonetheless, there are zero Jewish religious leaders in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition. There are no Muslim leaders. There are no Hindu or Buddhist leaders in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition either.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition isn’t much of a coalition, is it?
All of the members of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition put together by Donald Trump are Christians, and they don’t even represent the diversity of Christian beliefs that’s present in Iowa.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition represents only one narrow portion of only one religion. The people of Iowa are much diverse than that, but the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition doesn’t want to represent all the people of Iowa. It only wants to represent the extremist true believers in Christian Nationalism.
It’s no coincidence that the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is so unrepresentative. Donald Trump himself has built his political movement on the foundation of persecution of anyone who stands in the way of radical Christian Nationalism.
