‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags — Guardian US
apple.news
Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations

I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity. They shouldn’t be surprised when an all Muslim majority city council starts to act on their belief system and enact ordinances that run against the more socially liberal citizens.

    I’m not talking about Muslim countries. I’m talking about the US, where Hamtramck, Michigaan is. Where Christianity is the force that pushes the laws, while they whine that the other religions are the ones making the laws.

    Talking about other countries is disingenuous and irrelevant to the conversation. When I talk about what Judaism does I’m talking about Jews in the US (and Canada, and the UK, and other non-Jewish majority countries), not what Jews in Israel do.

      You comment talks about this like it’s about Muslims, christians and Jews in general. It has little to do with Islam’s, Christianity, or judasim though, and much more to do with who is the majority, and who is historically the majority.
