Republican anti-Islam candidate for Congress, Valentina Gomez, is warned by the FBI that Muslims are threatening to kill her The claim is valid based on Valentina Gomez’s own public statements and supporting reports. Gomez, a Republican congressional candidate in Texas’s 31st District known for her inflammatory anti-Islam rhetoric (including a viral video where she burned a Quran with a flamethrower while vowing to “end Islam in Texas”), posted on X on September 5, 2025, that she had received a call from the FBI informing her of multiple death threats from Muslims. She wrote: “I got a call from the @FBI today. muslims have made multiple Death Threats against my life. They want to kill me because I refuse to let Texas become an Islamic State just like Michigan.” She tied this to her broader campaign against Islam, adding, “The only way Texas remains Christian & Free is ONLY if you vote me into Congress. I will end islam in Texas so help me God.” This claim was amplified by conservative influencers like Amy Mek, who reposted Gomez’s statement on the same day, framing it as evidence of broader threats to free speech in the U.S. for criticizing Islam. Subsequent reports in September 2025, including from Raw Story and Hudson TV, detailed an FBI visit to her home following anonymous threats (some traced to burner phones in areas like Dearborn, Michigan), along with related incidents like an alleged grazing bullet wound to her father and the poisoning of her dogs. The FBI has not publicly confirmed specifics due to an ongoing investigation, but Gomez’s account aligns with these details. Critics, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), argue her rhetoric incites violence and that the threats may stem from her own provocations, but the core event of the FBI warning her about death threats attributed to Muslims holds up across sources.
