Carlson said the message would be acceptable only if the aim was a religious war; otherwise, no one should mock another\u2019s religion, and such a move would raise tensions rather than defuse them. His comments came as Trump faced backlash over his post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Trump\u2019s message included aggressive, blunt language about Iran, with references to a \u201cPower Plant Day\u201d and \u201cOpen the Strait,\u201d plus a religious closing line. Critics noted not only the profanity but also the \u201cPraise be to Allah\u201d line, drawing comparisons to biblical taunts about the impotence of the Iranian regime from the administration\u2019s viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Carlson argued that mocking another person\u2019s faith is equivalent to mocking faith itself. He emphasized that no president should mock Islam, adding that the United States is not a theocracy and should not wage wars to test which theocracy is more effective. He also framed the issue as a broader rejection of theocracy and the moral problems with fighting such regimes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Carlson\u2019s stance toward Islam has evolved somewhat. Although he built his career on strong criticism of Islam, he has softened his position in recent years, and his ties to Middle Eastern countries (such as the UAE and Qatar) have drawn criticism from some conservatives. He has also suggested that Sharia law could be preferable to Western secular law in certain contexts, which further fueled controversy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; On interventionism, Carlson has long advocated against U.S. military interventions abroad and criticized recent efforts in the Iran context as immoral or dangerous.
