Hussein said he was in disbelief that he was told to convert or leave — for the first time in his life — at a Republican convention with the tagline, “Unity drives victory.”
That slogan, touted by the governor on press releases, placards, lanyards and even the elephant he procured to march through the convention hall, became a rallying cry for the state’s leaders and party nominees heading into November. If fractured, they warned, the party could lose the state to Democrats and their U.S. Senate nominee, Austin state Rep. James Talarico.
But in spite of that warning, members were willing to lose the support of Muslim conservatives.
…
Hussein attended a panel from the Judeo-Christian Caucus moderated by Dr. Rick Scarborough, a former Southern Baptist pastor and the president of Recover America, an organization to engage ministers and pastors in politics.
Speakers told the audience that immigrants who don’t believe in Judeo-Christian values will erode those values and create problems for America. Scarborough accused Muslims of lying to win political power.
“You’re going to find Muslims that aren’t being antagonistic or mean, at least not publicly. But I’ll guarantee, if they get power, they’ll cut your head off as believers of Christ,” he said.
Islam is not compatible with western society/values. You can see this very well in germany, where even the left-leaning mainstream media sloooooowly starts acknowledging the issues that come with islamic parallel societies. I absolutely cannot understand why leftists so vehemently defend Islam when this religion has values which are the literal OPPOSITE of what leftists fight for. This is not racism, this is not Islamophobia, it’s plain facts that Islam has a lot of problems.
I have the solution - kill all religions
It’s because I live and work with Muslims. Turns out there are as many of them who hold values I agree with as there are Christians or Jews.
The biggest difference I see is which groups get hate. I don’t see the need to defend Christianity because there’s no pervasive disparagement or hostility.
I occasionally defend Judaism because I occasionally encounter disparaging language or people who conflate the nation of Israel with either the ethnic group or the religion.
A lot of people make comments about how they’re not islamaphobic, but it just so happens to be that reality perfectly reflects their prejudiced beliefs.
Kinda like the people who aren’t mysoginists or anything, but have found that, coincidentally, the ideal and natural gender roles and power dynamics between the sexes perfectly mirrors the media representation of the 1950s.
As much as I think we should look to Europe for running a society, race and religious tolerance are not one of those subjects in which I defer to them.
Do you actually think it’s unexpected that people who are never fully allowed to integrate into society for some reason don’t fully integrate into society? That laws that make it specifically difficult for them to coexist might result in them … Not coexisting as well?
If it’s the content of their texts that’s causing you a concern, have I got news for you about every fucking religion.
Western values are a consequence of the Enlightenment, which resulted from Islamic teachings and practices.
Everything from the abolitionist movement to socialist critiques of capital accumulation to modern ecological sciences to all of advanced mathematics came out of the Middle East in the 15th century.
You’re not entirely wrong. There are plenty of Western anarchonisms that rub modern Muslims the wrong way. But you might find that the “Western Values” you’re left with after you peel off all the Islamic bits is just Dutch Merchantalist White Nationalism.
That’s assuming you don’t all end up Mormon, having reinvented Islam from first principles.
If you have problems with religions as a whole, I think that’s fine. But why is Islam specifically not compatible with western society but Christianity is? Islam isn’t monolithic in the same way Christianity isn’t monolithic. I’m sure you could cherry pick things from the Quran that are dangerous and scary. I could do the same thing with the Bible. Not all Christians follow the Bible strictly as written. The same is true of Muslims and the Quran. Do you think Christian values are aligned with what leftists fight for? Do you believe we should remove Christians from the country for having differing values from leftist goals? And as long as there is a separation of church and state, then it doesn’t really matter what religious beliefs someone holds.
