When Mussolini Melon Man started his hateful rhetoric in 2016, the interfaith community where I live, accepted the invitation to the local mosque. I began writing about MLK's interfaith celebration yesterday but tears streamed down my face, and I couldn't get through the post. The Imam welcomed us. He said that we are small in space but large in heart. We watched MLK's Nobel speech, We sang in one voice and two little boys, one Jewish, one Muslim, sang from Genesis, and we broke bread. I sat next to a young lady who told me that two of her friends were walking to class and two “Christians” made them trip and fall. They saw the Hijabs but not the two young ladies. She gave me a Qur'an. If those “Christians” hypothetically ended up in the ER, they might end up with one of those two ladies as the attending physician. I have nothing more to say.
I don't contribute to Democrats these days generally, but I just decided to give a contribution to Rashida Tlaib because she says she's hiring security for herself and her team. Left-leaning Muslim politicians are in serious danger in the current political climate. Things just keep getting ugller in America.
This all makes me so sick to my stomach. I honestly wish Mamdani could have just run and won as an independent. This older, white, recovering Christian (love Jesus, despise what the church dogma as done to him), woman in Arizona will be contributing to his campaign! I hope Brad Lander helps him cross the finish line to victory. NYC needs Mamdani!! We all need a progessive party. So done with R and D continuing to fail us. Oh, and FREE GAZA🍉 and STOP THE HATE!
This is just awful and thank you for this post. We must speak up when any of these Islamophobic comments /posts/memes are made. This has got to stop. Appreciated your late night analysis w/Waj yesterday.
BTW, in your conversation with Wajahat Ali he did mention that he was almost ready to figuratively burn down the DNC. I am ALL FOR that!
The DNC is a collage of lunatics and "I wanna make you fell warm and fuzzy inside" people who will never diverge from their line. Let us not forget that almost anyone there is a millionaire.
The most quotable quote in this fine post is "the absurdity of maligning the masses due to the extremism of the few." This logical fallacy (hasty or faulty generalization) is so common and so destructive that I wish more people would draw attention to it.
Anti-Muslim trolls have been hard at work trying to instill fear one person at a time. Some of my pro-Mamdani comments in social media have received responses from men claiming to be Muslim and saying they can’t wait to impose Sharia law on me. I expect the threat of oppression of women will be a drumbeat we hear until the election. The ongoing influence of bots and trolls is just sickening.
Qasim Rashid writes of the true meaning of Sharia law in his recent Islam Today article on Substack. It’s not scary! I’m not Muslim, so I encourage you to read Qasim’s piece for the right explanation. ☮️
This vile fear of the unknown in the fox-viewing maga crowd has morphed from an undercurrent of distrust to a rallying cry brandishing their supreme ignorance. Pitchforks are out and torches are lit and minds are closed. Don’t remind them that Islam is part of their same Judeo-Christian lineage if you don’t intend to get skewered and burned at the stake.
I just read NyTimes columnist Ross Dourhat’s interview with Peter Thiel. It is frightening to think either one of these vile people have any sort of platform, or power. I post it here for all to read:
Your welcome. Now if people who believe in MAGA will read it, maybe they will realize they have actually “elected” people like Peter Thiel in control of our lives by voting MAGA. Please restack that link.
I sensed that the demons were going to summon themselves when he won the primary. I’m not religious, but it’s like an exorcism upon something completely vile. The demons are in pain and boy are they pissed!
I am absolutely sickened by all this anti-Islamic hatred. Stephen Miller can go to hell for all I care. He’s a fucking sociopath racist. I wish we could just ignore him, but unfortunately, he’s pretty much running the government right now. I am so proud and happy that this guy won the primary for New York mayor, and I hope he prevails. I wish people would just get over themselves for God’s sake. Or maybe for Allah‘s sake. It doesn’t matter. Thank you Qasim for another wonderful post. From a white heterosexual woman in Cincinnati Ohio. (oh and by the way, in my career as a nurse practitioner in women’s healthcare, I can’t tell you how many Muslim women I have taken care of over the years. Loving, family-oriented, great moms, dedicated wives.) cheers.
Mr. Taylor, do you mean killing of infidels & forced conversion as in the Crusades? What exactly is Islamic conquest? How about Pope Pius XII and the Nazis? Just an inconvenient coincidence? How many Jews, Muslims were eradicated because a 'man of faith' chose to look the other way. Your 'research' is flawed.
Hate for everything
Thank MAGA

I'm even more glad he won now. We don't need any more old farts who are afraid to change.

Peace
While the hate is growing , so is the love. We must concentrate on growing the love.
I stand with you, Qasim.

Yes, I read that earlier and also recommend it to others.

It’s all disgusting. It’s demoralizing. This group is so far gone into hatred and bigotry, and crimes against humanity I don’t see it ever changing.

I had to stop at the whole idea of Greta Thunberg as the Antichrist. God damn. Thanks for sharing, and I agree with your opinion: how vile.

I appreciate you, Anne. Thank you for your love and solidarity ❤️✊🏽
