“You can’t stop that.”
Awkward, but running a rainbow coalition is challenging. Black people initially dissented from the LGBTQ movement. Lefties ignored the problem and waited for them to come around. They figure Muslims are the same way and they can just outwait them. But that won’t work. Islam is not just a set of cultural attitudes. And while Islamists post-9/11 played the damsel in distress, the rainbow coalition is now getting a dose of reality.
After hours of debate and hearing from residents, Hamtramck City Council has passed the resolution to ban LGBTQ+ Pride flags unanimously.
Hamtramck is the first majority-Muslim city in America. And the LGBTQ movement clashes with Islam.
Some members of the all-Muslim council said the pride flag clashes with the beliefs of some members of their faith.
Bad news for diversity.
Hayley Cain said she chose to live in Hamtramck after moving from California because it was known as a diverse community.
“I’m questioning whether it is. … The pride flag represents making space for all humans on all the spectrums, and this is where we’re going as a human species,” Cain said. “You can’t stop that.”
How is a majority Muslim city diverse? It’s the opposite of diverse.
Dawud Walid, director of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights advocacy group, said Hamtramck’s strict flag policy doesn’t discriminate against anyone.
“If there was one group that was not being granted access to something while others were then we would have a problem,” Walid said.
He said some Muslims who oppose an LGBTQ+ flag are no different than conservative members of other religions with similar views.
“Flags carry symbolism. Those symbols carry social and political messages,” Walid said.
Indeed they do.
The council voted unanimously to display only five flags, including the American flag, the Michigan flag and one that represents the native countries of immigrant residents.
Islamic flags tend to represent Islamic ideas and ideals.
The media hailed the first all-Muslim city as a positive development. But its leaders predictably want to enforce Islamic doctrines and values. Not American ones. The Left was fine as long as these involved things they considered abstractions, but in a conflict between Islamists and drag queens, who wins?
Dems and their media will try hard to ignore these developments, but the culture war is incompatible with the Jihad.
MD Anthony says
Islam has no tolerance for what offensive to God
PRCS says
Islam has no tolerance for what offends Allah.
James Lincoln says
An important distinction, PRCS.
Tatanka says
Kinda hypocritical to line up with muslims.
It like feeding the alligators in the hope they will eat you last.
How in hell did they let the cult of death form a city majority anyway, now the town is doomed,….And America in the long run as well.
PRCS says
Between a rock and a hard place.
Being treated, as human beings, with simple dignity is not the happy gang’s goal. Treating the happy gang with dignity is not their goal. They now EXPECT us–all of us–to CELEBRATE them.
This is a religious imperative for Muslims and Hamtramck’s city council is all Muslim.
No fan of either Islam or public displays of homosexuality, I’ll be sitting this one out.
PRCS says
I need to improve my proofreading skills.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Precisely! This is an Alien vs Predator situation, & therefore fun to watch
PRCS says
Good analogy.
Transmaster says
I was following this elsewhere, I listened to reports that just reported what was going on. What struck me during these meetings was the citizens testifying, even city council members remarked they only saluted one flag and that was the flag of the United States. This made me think of the Tartar community in Poland. The Tartars is the Russian name given to the Mongols of the Ghans in the 13th century. The Polish Tartars are the descendants of the Mongols that invaded Poland in 1240 AD. They are Muslims. A few years ago Salafist’s tried to exhort them into Jihad. They would enter the Mosques of the Tartars to do this. What happened was these Salafist got beat almost to death and were dumped outside the door and the police were called to haul what was left to the Hospital. The Tartars said We are Polish first.
Transmaster says
Note the date of the Mongol invasion of Poland. By the 13th Century the Mongol hordes had already invaded Russia, parts of Asia Minor, and well into Eastern Europe. What ultimately stopped them was the Black Plague the became a pandemic starting in 1243 AD.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Tatars are not Mongols. They’re Turks, but in these cases, were a part of the Mongol hordes that ultimately formed the Golden Horde. There were several Tatar communities in Eastern Europe – the ones in Tatarstan, Crimea, Lipka, Volga… The ones you’re referring to are Lipkas, who lived in the Polish-Lithuanian Grand Duchy/Commonwealth

“Flags carry symbolism.Those flags carry social and political messages” says Mr Walid
While you are at it here is a flag to consider.
That islamic supremacy flag.An occupation flag some might call it.
The isis flag:the islamic community should ban it.It discriminates against us infidels,what the koran calls
“the WORST of created beings”
But like getting a YES/NO answer from muslims on the question “Do you agree with the koranic classification of non-muslims as the WORST of created beings?” it will not get a response..
PRCS says
“But like getting a YES/NO answer from muslims on the question “Do you agree with the koranic classification of non-muslims as the WORST of created beings?” it will not get a response..”
Won’t know until someone asks them.
FYI says
Actually I would love if muslims could ask themselves that:critical thinking is not encouraged in islam as the holy men of islam say that only they can interpret it.
muslims are afraid of the koran,They should not be.
No book is beyond criticism.
Tricks used by islamic scholars include fiddling the Arabic,hiding the Bible or saying it is corrupted when allah actually confirms it koran 3:3 and says to consult it k10:94{which is WHY the Bible is banned in islamic countries as muslims would figure it out and the holy men would lose control over them}and FEAR etc
muslims need to be critical:it makes no sense to vilify non-muslims or to insist that a muslim who is friends with an infidel is also an infidel { koran 5:51}or to have a death penalty for ‘apostasy’
They really need to think for themselves rather than have ‘scholars’ interpret it for them.
PRCS says
In a sane world, yes.
But the members of a nation like Afghanistan just don’t have that option available to them.

“The American Muslims Swept Up in the New Republican Fervor“ slatedotcom
Based on the comments, leftists aren’t finding their vaunted tolerance so accessible here. As has been noted, the red-green will find a fault line here.
My favorite comment is, again, that leftists are tired of being called groomers. One did note that court records in that part of MI will tell who is raping girls, without noting this is what leftists bedded down with.
Wellington says
Grimly amusing and yet also quite appropriate. So many times Muslims deserve what they get (e.g., stultifying societies) but the same can be said of Leftists.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Oh yeah! This is one of those Alien vs Predator moves that I’ve been waiting for. Ironically, in history, only the communists have repressed muslims w/ a heavy hand – Stalin on the Crimean Tatars as well as muslims elsewhere in the Soviet Union, and the Chicoms to this day in Xinjiang on Uyghurs and in the rest of China on Hui muslims
Wellington says
Well, Infidel, I take your meaning but I also have to accord to Spaniards (Portuguese too beginning with Alfonso Henriques) the indeed sapient decision to “repress” Muslims. After all, that is the essence of the Reconquista and which reached a final “conclusion” under Ferdinand and Isabella.
PRCS says
Christopher Columbus’s voyage wasn’t the only thing that happened in 1492.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I forgot the Iberians. The Spaniards in the reconquistas, and the Portuguese in India, where they came into conflict w/ a couple of muslim sultans & grabbed territory. In one case, a sultan, who tried to pull a fast one on them, was tricked back: they invited him to their ship, and while he was going back, they attacked & killed him & tossed his body into the sea. As a result, happily, there are no mausoleums dedicated to him

Whichever evil group *wins* this round, the push is on by both evil groups to force everyone else to their way of believing and behaving.
The homosexual/perverts galore, want to force the normal among man to, not just accept the fact of their existence, but to glorify it, to revel in it, to respect and bow to it.
The mozlums / perverts galore, want to force the non-mozlums…all of us…to not just accept the fact they are here, but to show absolute *respect* to them by not telling the Truth, by bending over to welcome and applaud them because they intend to take over and force everyone to bow down to their false god and fake prophet and pretend he was a great man instead of a sleaze, a murderer, a lying raper of children, and sex-made slave trading thief.
The only “win” will be when both groups are long gone and totally forgotten. And they will be.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“The homosexual/perverts galore, want to force the normal among man to, not just accept the fact of their existence, but to glorify it, to revel in it, to respect and bow to it.”
Yes.
The LGBTQ (etc.) crowd has moved way beyond the need for acceptance.
They now want you to believe what they believe – or else.
somehistory says
James, . All those claims of “we just want to be left alone for what we do in private,” was the first salvo in the war for acclimation and then acclamation.
PRCS says
They don’t want us simply believe.
They want us to celebrate them.
Raymond Griffin says
Going to be interesting as Islam gains control of small villages and makes it way up to major cities. Left think they are just a push over and can control them but going to be a wake up call for the liberals.
David M says
Leftists & gay men & women think Muslims support them, they are in for a rude shock. If they visited Iran or Saudi Arabia they would find out quicker.

NoTaqiyya says
Stupidity is the legacy of lazyness to do even superficial research on basic doctrinal imperatives for followers of the prophet of the moon god.
The Red-Green Alliance is a Trojan horse deep within the gates of the citadel and in positions of power and influence to further undermine, subvert and eventually overturn the decadent Western world.
The stupidity bred out of lazyness,
is succinctly encapsulated in the banners carried by the well indoctrinated woke zombies.
They proudly display their ignorance bred out lazyness with the slogan, “Queers against Islamophobia.”

“the American flag, the Michigan flag and one that represents the native countries of immigrant residents.”
The third flag was not named, what flag was that?
Rarely says
Very, very important question.
Patriotliz says
The Unholy Alliance of Leftist Commies with Islamic Fascists is tenuous. Leftists tolerate Islamic supremacy that has h/o of murdering “sexual” deviants because the Commies are also anti-Judeo Christian Western Civilization and Muslims kill Christians too which the Commies appreciate and totally ignore.
But when the Muslims take up residency in Leftist Communist occupied territory like Democrat controlled cities, then reality sets in. What will they do? How can Muslims still align with atheistic Democrat Commies who push diversity perversity? Who wins that culture war?
John Pepple says
“The pride flag represents making space for all humans on all the spectrums, and this is where we’re going as a human species,” Cain said. “You can’t stop that.”
That shows incredible ignorance. I stopped believing that history had a direction in 1979 after Muslims took over Iran and murdered thousands of people, many of them secular leftists who thought that history was on their side.
somehistory says
The only “space” they want to make is for themselves. Everyone who disagrees …not so much space for them.

Immigrants get a flag but lgbtqia don’t?
Sounds like discrimination to me.
Morons elected a bunch of religious fanatics and thought it’s cool cause their not white/Christian? Dumbs dumbs

Raymond Griffin says
Liberal Left going to get a big surprise as Islam moves in as they thought they had conquered Christianity but in some cases Islam will work with certain groups if it offends Allah. Allah has no patience’s with infidels and we might see our first type of actions by the Muslim community in the future.
