It is interesting to watch the Red-Green axis unravel over the LGBTQ issue, as tensions continue.
The Left and Islamic groups were merely friends of convenience all along. They have nothing in common, but now the friendship isn’t so convenient after all, as the two sides battle it out over values: wokeness vs Islam.
Of course, Edward Ahmed Mitchell of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was careful to note that “Muslims are not targeting transgender people and have not been expressing bigotry against any marginalized community. It was purely a religious freedom issue.” But in truth, it is an Islamic issue, over freedom of religion for all. As I reported earlier on Jihad Watch:
A new document, Navigating Differences: Clarifying Sexual and Gender Ethics in Islam, was endorsed by over 300 Islamic scholars and preachers across North America. While one may be quick to support it at first blush, it explicitly lays out the normative Islamic position on sexuality and gender ethics in Islam. It unequivocally states this about Allah:
God says, “It is not for a believing man or woman—when God and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter” (Quran, al-Aḥzāb:36). By submitting to God, we declare that only He possesses absolute knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, it follows from this submission that the ultimate source and basis of morality is Divine guidance, not just reason or societal trends.
This is non-negotiable, immutable and supremacist. This new document proclaims Islam above all as a basis for confronting the LGBTQ agenda. It is hence not a document that fights for the freedom of religion across the board.
CAIR is a noted supremacist organization. It was designated an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding trial in American history. Evidence at the trial linked CAIR to Hamas, “a specially designated terrorist organization.” CAIR is also well known for slandering any critic of Islam as “hateful,” “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
The truth is that Leftists were using Muslims in their game of identity politics while Islamic supremacists were using Leftists to gain a foothold and influence in Western countries.
Which side will win as the two sides try to hold together a weakening bond? It’s anybody’s guess. Islam has a 1400-year history of conquest via stealthy and violent means. Unless the West wakes up, free societies are finished; those societies are already severely threatened because of wokeism and Islamic supremacist incursions.
The burning of the Qur’an in Sweden and the eagerness of too many naive Westerners to conform to the Sharia in response because of “hurt feelings” is a sign of where the West is headed. Those infidel do-gooders who think that they are being kind by supporting a Qur’an burning ban should think instead about minority persecution and the supremacism that undergirds it. This is the larger truth about the battle for the freedom of expression.
Only the free West allows the freedom of expression and the freedom of religion, both of which are under severe attack from wokeism and Islamic law.
“Islamic leader challenges Psaki’s claim Muslim parents manipulated by GOP: We’re not ‘political puppets,'” by Hannah Grossman, Fox News, July 5, 2023:
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki comments blaming Republicans for concerns expressed by the Muslim community about LGBTQ curriculum being taught to children as young as elementary school were challenged by a leader one of the largest Islamic organizations in the U.S.
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, the national deputy director at the Council for American-Islamic Relations, said the Islamic faith community is concerned about allegiance to God, not Psaki’s preferred politics.
Psaki during her Sunday show also attempted to scare Muslims from being purportedly “recruit[ed]” by the GOP in opposing LGBTQ curriculum they found “age-inappropriate.” A similar MSNBC narrative ran on June 21, and was also blasted by Mitchell as “ludicrous” for portraying Muslim parents as “dupes” for the political right.
He added it was time for “liberal commentators” like Psaki “to accept that Muslim parents are independent, intelligent people speaking for themselves.”
“The sooner they accept this truth, the sooner they can start addressing the substantive concerns these parents are raising. Then again, maybe they just can’t and don’t want to address the concerns these parents are raising,” he said.
The former White House press secretary claimed on her Sunday show, “Inside with Jen Psaki,” that the Republican Party was dividing Muslims from transgender people, and listed why she believed the GOP was a danger to the Muslim community.
“[T]he right wing is reviving that same playbook, this time with Muslim Americans and trans people,” Psaki said. “The GOP is trying to recruit Muslim Americans… against another tiny marginalized group of Americans, transgender people.”
Mitchell, while criticizing the segment, accused Psaki of viewing the Islamic faith community as “political puppets.”…

No, mozlums are not “puppets.” They are manipulators, trained to get what they want however they can get it. Many are psychopaths who know only too well how to con and manipulate others.
This guy must be a convert….with the name of edward….mitchell. psaki has stepped on some toes in the mozlum “community.” Let us see how she ‘circles back” on this one.

Just today 7/8 /23, I remembered that yesterday was that 18 anniversary of those murderous jihad train bombings in that London train station that killed 52 people and injured many more on July 7 ,2005.
So put on a tee- shirt that had the words Printed on It “Islam is a religion of pieces “ I then when to the public library in my hometown waring that shirt , then sat down to keyboard on the computer.
Then to of the librarians, together approached me and told me that my shirt in “inappropriate” that then they told men change or cover my shirt or leave the library.
In response to their demand, I informed my shirt in only a mirror reflection of that deadly Islamic jihadist train bombing which occur on 7/7/05.
The libertarians refused to listen to reason and the logic of that truth and repeated their demand. It’s amazingly terrible how much influence the politically ideology has infected American society , especially when come to “Muslim sensitivities” about revealing an ugly reflection about the reality of their religion.
This shows that “freedom of speech” is diminishing in America
Walter Sieruk says
Only a few years ago I discovered that in the Pennsylvania , in its capital city, Harrisburg. In the hospital of that city the security guards are instructed to tell any visitor who is wearing a shirt or hat with anything printed on it about remembering September 11, 2001 to leave the hospital because Muslim work and also visit at that place.
The Muslim influence is clear and obvious less and less freedom of speech is allowed.
By the way, soon after 9/11 the many apologists in America had made the claim that “The terrorists and mass murderers of September 11, weren’t real Muslims but criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for politics.” How strange !
Nevertheless, the point being that if and that is “If” that claim is true then Muslim shouldn’t have any objections ,at all to some people wearing “remember September 11, 2001 shirts or hats since no Muslims committed those murderous affronts on that day of 9/11/01

To Walter Sieruk- While you did not state that you were in England
in 2005 and wore the t-shirt in remembrance of those killed on July 7, 2005 by Islamists in the London train bombing, I think you were very brave to show support for the victims regardless of where you were. And those librarians had no right to tell you to take off that shirt or to cover it over with a different shirt. Shame on them.
I also have read here on JihadWatch that there are some Muslim men who have had sex with underage boys, and this disgusting, inhumane action has been done for centuries. 😈
I definitely classify that as “pedophilia” and the perpetrators should have been punished with jail sentences, back then and currently. Furthermore, any adult male that has sex with a boy is a gay man and should be classified as “LGBTQ” whether they like it or not. Let’s see how long it takes the elites in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic majority countries to agree on this and punish those who do this inhuman act.

GIve them 400 years to catch up.

Looks like in some moment, there could be a civil war between the Red-Green axis
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I’m just waiting. Looks like we’re seeing the initial stages of it
Only thing I want our side – Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists – to do is stay completely out of it, no matter how much we might loathe the LGBTQIA2S+ coalition. This will be a fun Alien vs Predator face-off, & woke authorities won’t know who to go after 😈

Whose side do you think CAIR will take: the LGBTQIA2S+ that Rashida spoke up for, or will it be the muslim parents of Hamtramck, Maryland & other places?
