You can’t treat Muslims like terrorists.
The wave of protests against sexual materials and agendas in schools spreading around the country appeared in Dearborn, Michigan. Islamists in America had long grappled with how to manage both their leftist alliances and the sexual agendas of those allies. Most opted for public expressions of support and private repression. The breach broke out in the open in Dearborn with videos of angry Arab Muslims, among others, speaking out at school board meetings.
They waved signs, booed speakers, and denounced the board members. The same sort of stuff that led Biden and Garland’s DOJ to illegally coordinate a school board association letter preparing to treat them like terrorists.
But they can’t treat Muslims like terrorists.
The sheer awkwardness was captured by the local NPR affiliate’s story on the protests.
.Community members within the Dearborn Public School District have been in heated debate over several LGBTQ-positive books and their availability to students. The debate in Dearborn came to a head at a school board meeting this week.
It’s not the first time a religious, conservative group has opposed the availability of books that include LGBTQ-positive stories and sentiments.
However, unlike we’ve seen before, many of those religious conservatives are Muslim. It’s the first time someone other than Evangelicals and far-right constituents have been a sizeable force in the protests at the school board.
Reporter Niraj Warikoo provided some context on this multifaceted issue. We also heard from someone who’s taken a stand in favor of age-appropriate, LGBTQ-positive books.
When American parents protest sexual materials being inflicted on their kids, it’s terrorism. But when Muslims protest, it’s “multifaceted”.
That’s especially true since the local CAIR appeared to be involved in guiding some parents behind the scenes while cautioning them away from public protests. Others however, with fewer woke alliances, took a more vocal stand.
One of Michigan’s most prominent faith leaders, Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, urged people during his Friday sermon to attend the protests.
“Some of those books are completely inappropriate for our children to read,” Al-Qazwini said. “Some of those books promote pornography. Some of them promote homosexuality. We don’t need this. Go and attend this meeting.”
Al-Qazwini and others said that they have the democratic right to decide what is appropriate in their schools since their faith is now in the majority. Dearborn is about 47% Arab American, most of them Muslim, and Dearborn Heights is about one-third Arab American, according to census data
What’s the Left going to do? Shut up and take it. At least in public. And explain how multifaceted it all is, and double down on pushing this stuff anyway. Publicly, dissent is impossible. And impracticable. The Left hopes to run the same routine that it did with the black community, but it doesn’t understand the territory. Or the players.
They’re the majority and they mean it.
When similar incidents happened in the UK, there was some handwringing and inspectors were sent to investigate Jewish and Christian schools. Expect the media and activist lefties to loudly shift attention back to safer targets. And then call them terrorists.
Wellington says
Grimly humorous. It has to be hands off of Muslim parents but demonizing, even prosecuting, Christian parents is AOK.
Upside-down America. Upside-down most of the West. What an absurd age we live in.
somehistory says
The protected species speaks…very loudly. What they are saying…*not appropriate for kids*…is the same as what other parents in other states have been saying; and when other parents have said it, there have been arrests and banning from school board meetings. But, mozlums pose a fear factor that Christians don’t.
Fear of what the angry mozlums will do may hold them off from trying to force their materials on the kids…temporarily, anyway.
Wellington says
There is a fear factor, somehistory, as you noted, but I think there is another “factor” at play here and that is the entire pc/mc narrative whereby, a la Orwell. all religions are equal but one religion is more equal than others.
somehistory says
I agree, Wellington. There is a “multifaceted” factor going on.

“‘Utterly horrifying’: Virginia Democrat ripped for plan to criminalize parents opposed to gender transitions”
“Virginia Delegate Elizabeth Guzman (D) told WJLA Thursday that she would introduce a bill in the next legislative session that would expand the state’s definition of child abuse and neglect to include parents who do not “affirm” their child’s preferred gender identity or sexual orientation. Parents charged under the proposed statute could face felony charges and would lose custody of their children.”
gravenimage says
Scary stuff. Children rightly cannot drink, drive, marry, vote, or serve in the armed forces–but they can have irreversible “gender reassignment” surgery. Just nuts.
Alena says
Super logic. Fantastic.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage says,
“Just nuts.”
100% true.
somehistory says
It’s the plan. They don’t care about the kids. It’s in the money and in taking the kid’s minds over , changing them from what their parents have been teaching them.
tgusa says
Guzman immigrated from Peru to the USA in 1998. She identifies as a single mom of Latino ethnicity. Shes new to America but it hasn’t taken long for her to attack American parents with the threat of taking their kids. What a piece of work that thing is. America and Americans would be just fine without her. I hope she knows that.
somehistory says
thanks, tgusa, for that. Probably a lot of the parents wish she’d go back. It’s idiocy for people to leave where they were born and go someplace where they will not like it…and then demand changes. Why not stay where they were?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
And she’s in the House of Delegates from Ashburn, right next to where I live, and which was at the center of 2 school rape cases, where a boy in a skirt raped 2 girls in 2 different schools, and where the police used force against the father of one of the girls. This was what put Loudoun county at the center of this trannie debate in schools (or screwls, as Rush Limbaugh used to call them)
James Lincoln says
Leftists are in a pickle this time.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’m more concerned about the GOP allying w/ these muslim parents and then using it as a Bushesque demonstration of how their values are “just like ours”. In fact, while the initial report of a split in the Left-muslim alliance was fun to read, the follow-up – a GOP-muslim alliance – is horrifying
gravenimage says
Agreed, Infidel. Christians who think that “Muslim values”–which include forced veiling, “marrying” children, waging violent Jihad, and mass slaughtering Christians and Jews–are just like Christians are sadly mistaken–but you often hear this foolishness.
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Point well taken.
Walter Sieruk says
This shows to extreme absurdity that the politically correct philosophy has on some American school boards that its members slanderously label peaceful , good concerned conscientious conservative parents at open public school board meetings as “terrorists” just because they object to the agenda of such boards to indoctrinate their children to PC ideologies that favor study materials that favor the LGBTQ groups and likewise are very pro-Solcialism , Marxism , Islam and also greatly favor the ideologies of cultural relativism and multiculturalism, all the while those same school boards completely refuse to acknowledge the blatant reality that the members of vicious violent dangerous and even deadly Marxist organizations Antifa and BLM are the actual terrorists.
This reveals that those PC influenced school board members are so cognitively confused and mentally warped that they slanderously call non -violent concerned conscientious conservative parents “terrorists” all at the same time totally refusing to acknowledge the malicious vicious destructive and even murderous Antifa and BLM members as the real terrorist that they actually are.
Such school board members need to go to the old reference books and look up the actual definition of the words “terrorist” and “terrorism.”
That such school board members feel the non- violent conservative parents are “terrorists ” and then let the real Anfia, BLM terrorist “off the hook” is absurd n outrageous and outright wrong.
So very wrong that its a reflection of the Bible verse that reads “Woe to those who call good evil and evil good,,,:” Isaiah 8:20. [N.K.J.V]
tgusa says
Even with the muslim propensity to react with violence in response to minor disagreements the establishment is still much more frightened of whitey. It must be our earned reputation. Whites are not terrorists, we wont sneak around in the shadows like establishment types. Our adversary’s will always know we are coming when we are coming. It would be obvious to all. That is something that can be counted on every time.

Check out the You Tube Channel of Ami Horowitz where he went to the West Bank in Israel and asked the people there what they thought of Homosexuality and then he took that footage to the Castro District in San Francisco and showed it to all the male and female Gays folks there and they were all just so shocked as some were of the idea that Queers for Palestine was a real thing, rather than queers being dragged behind a Car in Palestine.
The Left and many Gays folks of today really have no idea that islam will throw them off the rooftop and kill all the Liberals once they take over ANY country and The West is going the way of islam and the Western Liberal people are helping it along.
