Restricting the political power (ability to run in, and win elections) of someone because they are Muslim is Islamophobic. So, I'd say this tweet is Islamophobic, since it seems to be advocating for that action.

I understand the fear of violence from people that justify their violence in religion, particularly (but not exclusively) Islam. But, we have to be very careful with restricting political power based on mere label-sharing.

It's a good point.
