Valentina Gomez, a Republican candidate running for Congress in Texas, has released a campaign advertisement in which she burns a copy of the Islamic Quran using a flamethrower. In the video, Gomez declares her intention to "end Islam in Texas" and tells Muslims to "f*** off to any of the 57 Muslim nations," asserting that America is a Christian nation. Gomez's remarks include inflammatory statements such as "Your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded." Previously, Gomez ran for Missouri Secretary of State in 2024, finishing sixth in the GOP primary with 7.4% of the vote, before relocating to Texas. The campaign ad has drawn widespread attention amid a broader wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. The stunt has sparked backlash and controversy, highlighting tensions around religious and cultural issues in American politics. Gomez’s campaign message reflects a hardline stance against Islam, and the video has gone viral on social media platforms.
