A “very embarrassing” protest for everyone concerned. New in FrontPage:
The Leftist-Islamic alliance, which has been rolling along without a hitch for many years now, hit a pothole in Dearborn, Michigan last Monday. The disagreement between the two camps was so sharp and irreconcilable that it may herald a definitive end to this alliance. A parody story spoofing The Atlantic called the Muslims in Dearborn “the new face of the far-right,” and by the time this is all over, that might not be too far off the mark.
The Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday that “hundreds of protesters packed a Dearborn Public Schools board meeting this week and shut it down with cries of anger over certain LGBTQ books they said are too sexually explicit for children. And now, some community leaders anxiously await a rescheduled meeting set for Thursday night as others call for calm.” There were much more than cries of anger: “A heavy police presence failed to prevent the Monday night meeting from descending into chaos as demonstrators took it over and then various factions within them jostled for control, shouting at each other. Protesters often ignored the requests of police officers to stop interrupting board members.”
The whole thing became so chaotic that “it was unclear who was in control of the meeting at times. Most of the crowd appeared to be in opposition to the books, but there were also a number of people with the American Federation of Teachers union who showed up to support inclusion of LGBTQ people and others.” Finally, the local police chief had to restore order: “Not until Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin arrived later did the protesters stop their agitation. Shahin pleaded with the crowd to relax and not embarrass Dearborn. There was concern expressed by some community leaders that the protesters are making the city and its Arab American Muslim population look bad. But others said that as Muslims, they have to stand up for their faith.”
The crowd was enraged over LGTBQ propaganda in public schools: “Several held up signs with anti-gay rhetoric in English and Arabic, making religious references to assert that LGBTQ educational materials and books should not be available in Dearborn Public Schools, the third largest school district in Michigan. Some of the placards held up read: ‘Keep your porno books to yourself,’ ‘Homosexuality Big Sin,’ and ‘If democracy matters, we’re the majority.’” The Free Press added: “Most of the protesters appeared to be Arab American and Muslim. But others in the Arab American community strongly objected to the actions of the protesters Monday night.”
Osama Siblani, publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab American News, was appalled at this fracture in the Leftist-Islamic alliance: “What happened tonight at the school board meeting in Dearborn is very embarrassing and is totally rejected,” he wrote on Facebook. “Remember that the loss of any individual’s right to express himself/herself is the beginning of the end of all people’s rights … Remember that Islam is a religion of love, peace and tolerance, not a religion of insults, violence and threats.”
Sure. And Siblani’s reaction was understandable. This protest was “very embarrassing” for everyone concerned. It was especially “embarrassing” for local Muslim leaders such as Siblani, as they know that Leftists are their staunchest and most dependable allies. If the Leftist-Islamic alliance splits, events could take an ugly turn, especially given the Left’s increased penchant for authoritarianism.
But this is also embarrassing for the Leftist school board members, for they would rather have their teeth pulled out one by one with rusty pliers than appear to be “Islamophobic,” and yet they can’t appease the Muslims in Dearborn in this instance without giving up their cherished gender fantasies and relentless agenda of sexualizing children.
So who will give? The appalling Niraj Warikoo, the far-Left pseudo-journalist from the Detroit Free Press who reported on this chaotic meeting, is staunchly on the LGBTQ side, as one can tell from his editorializing at the end of his article, where he says “As Stone,” an LGBTQ activist, “walked away, a protester yelled at him a phrase advocates note is often used to make bigoted attacks against gay people based on inaccurate stereotypes: ‘Leave our kids alone.’” What will Warikoo do when all the friends he has made in the Muslim community over the years with his relentlessly biased coverage turn on him because of nasty little digs like that one?
And what will both sides do if this alliance breaks down altogether over the Left’s insistence on corrupting and sexualizing children?

“stereotype”….this is a fact of life because enough people actually *fit* the profile so that it becomes a “stereotype.”
Hopefully, Christians will not be taken in by this, nor be swayed to think that mozlums are like us just because they are in opposition .to the books about perversion being given to little kids.
the things mozlums are taught to believe about children, are unclean. And evil ..daily rape of little girls beginning at any age, mutilation, forcing them to wear head coverings to conceal from lusty males their **hair**…
islm is without morals and so are those who push sex…in any form or manner…on little kids.
Boh are on the side of evil.

Personally, I look forward to the crash of this evil “house.” with its many rooms.

There’s nothing more I’d like to see than having the Leftist and Muslim alliance torn apart. In fact it was a terrible union to begin with and I’m still befuddled that it happened. Had the Leftists stuck to their true principles, they would’ve learned early that Islam is opposed to all the values/morals they claim to uphold.
If they split up but Leftists don’t join us in our opposition to Islam, that’s still a good thing, because at least they won’t be getting in our way as they do today, calling haters/Islamophobes, etc…prolonging this ugly battle.
The best we can hope for is that Liberals wise up and realize as the rest of us do that Islam is an existential danger to the West, freedom and our way of life…hopefully that’ll happen.
Still this is a great development and hopefully the news spreads like wildfire among Leftists across the country, because if they oppose Christianity for its opposition to LGBT and abortion for example, well in Islam they take it to the extreme because they actively jail, torture and slaughter gay/trans people.
I hope people also picked up on the fact that a Muslim spox stated they’re the majority (in Dearborn) the meaning is obvious, that once they outnumber us, democracy must bow to Islam. This is a microcosm of what is to come in those places where Muslims become the dominant group.
Lastly as we know, while Liberals and Conservatives agree on most issues like love of freedom, country, etc, they are divided on some other issues. I think the best thing we can do is to set aside our differences for the greater good-which is to drive the wedge deeper between Muslims and Leftists.
That doesn’t guarantee Lefties will join us, but everyone is better off if they’re not on the same team. That also doesn’t mean our disagreements go away, it’s just that we give them less priority.
So if we can help the Left see how evil Islam really is, believe me they’ll run away from Muslims like a plague. Right now they don’t see it because they don’t want to, plus many of them are lazy and don’t bother to study Islam and it’s brutal 1400 year history of destruction and mass murder.
But once Leftists are educated, then very likely most of them will unite with us, it’s really a no-brainer. Either you support a religion that wants to convert, enslave or kill you, or join the people trying to defeat that death cult, the choice couldn’t be more obvious.

True if you are referring to the current relatively small numbers of JFK-type liberals.
But not today’s Leftists.

Exactly. Do leftists & gays even know Muslims like to hang gays in countries like Iran? Muslims & gays + their leftist supporters should be mortal enemies.

So who’s gonna blink first?

These frenemies have finally reached a crossroads where the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. The Woke Left saw Islam as a symbol of the oppressed and supported them to demonstrate their virtue signaling,
while the Muslims quietly tolerated their support until they could no longer see a way forward with a group whose views even the ignorant muslims could not tolerate. Perhaps this would be a perfect time to expose Islam’s own tradition and promotion of sexualizing children as exemplified by their perfect example, Mohammed the Pedophile.

I read this…including the quote from the mozlum…on another site. regarding the book, homosexual issue and the “rep” who is at home there in Dearborn.
“The area is also home to the 13th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the controversial Muslim-American woman.
In another recent rant before the school board, Tlaib’s name came up and not in a good way. A second Muslim father said the community is not objecting to “the gay people,” but parents are objecting, he said, because there are library books that don’t belong in the hands of young children.
In his remaining seconds, the father then veered the hot-button issue to the liberal congresswoman by name.
“The only person behind this,” the parent concludes, “is Rashida Tlaib. Do not vote for Rashida Tlaib.”
Tlaib, in fact, has a “100%” score with the Human Rights Campaign, the homosexual-rights lobbying group, according to the group’s website.”

It’s time for all districts to challenge the disinformation and obfuscation of the
truth concering Islam’s perpetuation of the sexualization of children. This curriculum should be incorporated in all districts throughout America. I’m sure there would be an uproar over promoting these facts as was the case when Pennsylvania candidate, Dr. Oz, reacted so furiously over the exposure of this aspect of Islam’s hideous ideaology. Time to teach the members of this death cult some lessons.
