US Far-Right Candidate Valentina Gomez Sparks Outrage After Quran Burning Incident
…………….

Valentina Gomez, a far-right Republican candidate for the US Congress, has sparked widespread condemnation after burning a copy of the Quran in a video posted on social media. The candidate, running in Texas and previously seeking office in Missouri, ignited the Quran while claiming she would “eradicate Islam in Texas” and calling on supporters to back her campaign.

She further accused Muslims of violent acts aimed at dominating Christian countries and declared Israel’s God as the only true deity. Known for her hardline views on immigrants and Muslims, Gomez previously lost a Republican primary in Missouri but has since raised millions for her congressional bid. She has also drawn controversy for disrupting a Muslim event in Texas with anti-Islamic remarks.

Her actions have been widely criticized by human rights and Islamic organizations in the US, which condemned the incident as hate speech that threatens social cohesion and fosters extremism. Gomez’s provocative behavior continues to fuel heated debates around political rhetoric and religious tolerance.
