The Leftist-Islamic alliance, which has been rolling along without a hitch for many years now, has hit a pothole in the form of the Left’s mad quest to sexualize children and push trans fantasies upon them. Catholics and other Christians have been grateful for the help and excited about strengthening their new alliances with Muslim groups. They should be aware, however, that an alliance against a common foe will not override Islam’s teachings regarding Christianity.
“Muslim group warns LGBTQ rights bill could encroach on religious liberty: ‘Cramming this legislation through,'” by Joshua Q. Nelson, Fox News, March 2, 2023:
A Muslim advocacy group told Fox News Digital that an LGBTQ rights bill in Michigan is likely “unconstitutional” due to its encroachment on religious freedom.
The Counsel [sic] of American Islamic Relations [CAIR] launched a petition urging lawmakers to add religious protections to proposed amendments to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), which seeks to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
The ELCRA has provided protections for Michiganders based on religion, race, sex and other demographics since 1976. LGBTQ advocates have been pushing to be included in the bill for years to ensure they don’t face discrimination.
However, while expanding the rights for LGBTQ members, the bill could remove protections for faith-based organizations that believe marriage is between one man and one woman, or biological differences between men and women.
“CAIR Michigan believes along with some other religious groups that have done the policy and the legal research that there are provisions of this bill that could be struck down as unconstitutional including that provision that requires that covenant,” CAIR-MI Staff Attorney Amy Doukoure told Fox News Digital.
The proposed amendment to ELCRA was introduced last month and received support from Democrats and Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Doukoure said that officials are “cramming this legislation through” and “have not yet agreed to meet with their religious constituents that have religious concerns over this bill.”
Catholic and Protestant groups and Republicans also challenged the bill alongside Muslims. These groups are concerned that the bill could lead to discrimination against religious and conservative people, as well as expose them to potential lawsuits if they believe in the traditional marriage of one man and a woman and their views on biological differences between men and women.
Doukoure said that CAIR partnered with the Michigan Catholic Conference, which is the main lobbying and advocacy wing of the Catholic Church in Michigan, in calling for religious protections in the bill.
“They have a lot of lobbying power. They testified in front of the Senate about the Senate version of this bill,” she said.
“We work with them on a regular basis in matters where our interests align in the preservation of religious freedoms,” Doukoure said.
CAIR’s petition received more than triple the signatures than their goal of 500. The petition is intended to urge lawmakers to add reasonable language to any expansion of the ELCRA to provide religious protections in order to prevent “expensive and lengthy” litigation over First Amendment rights….
Fox News Digital has reached out to the sponsor of the bill, Jeremy Moses, for comment on Doukoure’s claims. Moses said that CAIR never reached out to his office. However, he said that he did have a meeting with the Michigan Catholic Conference and they “could not come to an agreement on amendment language.”…

Being against the same things mozlums are, does not make me want to “partner” with them.
mozlums hate Christians and wish them dead. These Catholics should be aware that mozlums preach and teach that hatred and lie about Jesus Christ and mozlums want Jesus to come back and kill all of the Christians mozlums haven’t murdered.
mozlums are slaughtering Catholics all across Africa.
Joining with mozlums on ***anything*** is much like partnering with a King Cobra…the venomous snake eats rats and humans regular kill rats….but that does not make the King Cobra the friend of humans.
The Bible speaks against perverted sex, in all its forms and Christians are taught that God disapproves, yes condemns, these things.
mozlums murder homosexuals and they lobby against laws that favor those who go against the natural order.
But as soon as the mozlums have used Christians to get what they want, it’s on with the slaughter here like everywhre else Christians are no longer useful to them.

know the difference between a Muslim and Roman Catholic.
A catholic only marries a Catholic.
A Muslim can only marry Muslim.
John Herlihy says
Per Sharia a Muslim man can marry a Christian or Jewish woman. A Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, but the muslim man does have to convert his non-muslim wife to islam for it to remain halal
John1 says
Several months I met a middle aged American man who met a woman living in Morocco on some internet dating website. He ended up traveling to Morocco and proposed marriage. He could not get a marriage license in Morocco or get married in that country until he converted to Islam.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Fully agree w/ you. I consider this one more of those Alien vs Predator scenarios, no different from internecine muslim bloodletting
May both sides here destroy each other
somehistory says
Thank you , Infidel. An enemy of my enemy is not, necessarily, my friend.
Wise people choose their friends wisely.

Yep! All must remember what the Islamists have been saying for decades in Israel while blowing them up Jews and running the Christians out of Bethlehem and the whole area altogether : “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”

mozlums practice deceit as a matter of their daily lives. Pretend to befriend, while planning how to cut the throat.

Muslims wont take over the US or the world. Islam is in decline across the globe. and Exmuslims are growing. Muslim birth rates are declining across the globe
somehistory says
You have provided no sources for your statements.
And they don’t have to continue to grow in numbers in order to “take over” as they are still in the minority in many countries, where they are infiltrating governments and having laws made to protect them and prosecute others.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
muslim birthrates are higher than the rest of the population in a lot of countries. It’s only in comparison to previous times that it seems low, but it’s still higher than usual
The number of ex-muslims is hard to ascertain for sure given that enough muslims practice taquiyya and putting on a charade of apostasy. Also, it’s important to see what these ex-muslims are going to. If they’re moving towards Atheism, that’s not an improvement, unless one knows for sure that it’s the Ayn Randesque type, as opposed to the Communist type. If they are moving towards Agnosticism, it’s not a stable state, since nature abhors a vacuum, and if they don’t replace islam w/ something else, they risk reverting to islam. If the ex muslims convert to Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, et al, then one can concede that you have a point
Muslims are taking over Europe, as is evident every day from the stories you see collected here. One reason they’re unlikely to succeed in the US is the Second Amendment, which of course, the Left is trying to gut. But they’re making major inroads into not just Europe, but Canada as well
Larry Estavan says
If you watch the video, you will hear Doukoure decry pitting one group against another.
But of course, this is something that CAIR does.
CAIR pits Muslims against Hindus, blacks against whites, Asians against whites, American Indians against whites, and so on.
Here is a recent example from just 8 days ago. –

Thanks, Larry.
Typical CAIR tactic.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
CAIR is Leftist whenever muslims ain’t involved, and islamic when they are
tgusa says
Oh man. The alphabet people are not going to like that but on the other side of the coin muslims don’t like them. This is like two people you don’t like getting in to a fist fight. You don’t have a side to root for you just hope it goes on a long long time.

the elft and Muslims have one thing in common they eat each other to extinction
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Only in places where they are the only two factors in existence, such as in Iran. In other countries, where there are Right-leaning alternatives, they’re more than happy to ally w/ each other
Westman says
This is a wake-up for the (ignorant) woke leftists. They thought Islam was a fellow traveler just like Trosky thought Stalin was his commie buddy.
Ade Fegan says
The left are myopic
This will make no odds to them whatsoever
tgusa says
It really is so easy to expose cracks in the leftist or islamist ideologies it is a wonder that our side has not begun to do that sooner. Don’t look to our so called establishment leaders to do it, they wont. Fighting for our culture and civilization is below them. They are cowards. Exposing the facts which will expose the divisions will be up to the rest of us to do. We are beginning to do what must be done but…faster please. Always just tell the unvarnished truth. Nothing else is needed.

There are no “views on the biological differences between men and women ”
There are two sexes. They are immutable. It is binary. You are one or the other and can not change. It is a scientific fact.
nurseviki says
I have been testifying to my city council for nearly 4 years about the obscene sexually explicit materials to minors in the library. I invited the Muslim secretary at the Mosque and a few people came out. They want to protect their children and families from these dangerous ideologies. They also are very against the expansion of liquor licenses. So will come to meetings in large numbers for that issue. I believe they have an organized outreach. They asked me to write up talking points so they can send emails regarding the books. I’m glad for them coming out because our city council currently see this as a Catholics issue rather than a majority of parents.
somehistory says
they may “want to protect” something, but they will see you dead and buried before they will admit that they are just using you to help them establish more power.

I think we’re not going to have to wait a few decades, I think we should start seeing attacks by the coming Ramabomb. All due to the Biden Islamic Administration wreaking havoc on the world with their New IslamoNazis present for all the world to see, its policies implemented through our State Department, it’s going to be soon. Very soon. I’ve worried since 2009 that the UK is going to be attacked and conquered without a shot being fired. Biden has emboldened them all over the world, and with the Quran incident we’ve seen last week in the UK, that’s sufficient evidence for me.

CAIR is a terrorist organization. Its members, officers, and supporters are all terrorists. They should be treated as terrorists.
