In the West, where Islamophobia found legitimacy post 9/11, a rebel has found a cause. For the last two years, Australian journalist CJ Werleman has been doggedly chasing leads to fight what he calls injustice against Muslim communities, not only in his home country, but across the world.

What has emboldened his attack on bigotry and racism is his recent mission to "expose" Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, running for the Presidential Elections 2020. In an investigative piece, published earlier this month and now going viral, Werleman says he has got hold of transcripts, which prove that Gabbard, whom he describes as America's "Hindutva mascot", allegedly follows an anti-Muslim spiritual guru, Chris Butler.
