Healthcare

Jasser opposes the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and favors market-oriented healthcare reform.

A practicing physician, Jasser has been a prominent GOP critic of Obamacare, framing his opposition around government overreach in medicine.

Counterterrorism and Radical Islam

Jasser advocates confronting 'radical Islam' and Islamist ideology as a national security priority.

As founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Jasser has built his public profile around identifying and combating what he calls the root causes of radical Islam.

Religious Liberty and Islamic Reform

Jasser promotes a reform-minded, pluralistic vision of Islam that separates mosque and state.

Through his advocacy work, Jasser has emphasized religious freedom and criticized Islamist organizations, positioning himself as a proponent of American constitutional values over religious governance.

Foreign Policy and Israel

Jasser is aligned with pro-Israel and anti-Islamist foreign policy positions.

His commentary, including a Newsweek opinion referencing a 'Red-Green Axis,' signals strong support for Israel and opposition to Islamist and far-left alignments.

Limited Government and Constitutionalism

Jasser favors limited government and constitutional conservatism.

His affiliation with the Federalist Society and Republican candidacy reflect a broadly conservative, constitutionalist governing philosophy.

Free Speech

Jasser is a vocal defender of free speech, particularly against efforts to silence critics of Islamism.

News coverage of a lawsuit involving a Scottsdale professor and Jasser's own advocacy suggest he prioritizes protecting speech on controversial religious and political topics.
