You have to be a certain type of white supremacist to absolve muslims of their deeply conservative anti gay anti women beliefs simply because they are brown.
Let’s give a shout out to all the left wing progressive Muslims who run mosques with female or trans imams where women and men pray together and host lesbian weddings.

The article in the OP is from June 2023, so obviously pre-dates the current troubles in Gaza. Though I assume the existing ban there still applies.
But yeah, there are more Christians who want to ban pride flags, so it's not just the Muslims. And many say "well, at least Christians wouldn't throw you off a roof for being gay!" Yet I wouldn't be surprised if some fundies would do that if they thought they could get away with it.

You think Christians can't be Brown, R33?
Here's an FYI: in the US a Brown person is more likely to be Christian than a White person.
So you should know my acceptance of Christians - even tho there's a huge swath that are anit-lgbt - is because, statistically, Christians "are brown." If you're going to try to twist something in your bigoted brain into some weird thing about race... you should try to be more clever.

R36 I don't think that's true, though. It's possible to condemn Islamophobia AND homophobia.
The fact remains that not all Muslims are homophobic. And, even of those who are, they'd never try to make your life worse. Do I care if a Muslim thinks I'm a sinner, but would never want to make my life worse for being gay? Not really. That's how many Christians think, too.
I work with a couple of Muslims. I assume one is less fundamentalist than the other, as one doesn't wear a headscarf while the other does. They were both born and raised here (I live in the UK) and I know they have no open problem with gay people because they'll regularly inquire about my partner and I - eg on a Monday asking what we did at the weekend. If they weren't keen on my being gay, I think they'd just never ask about my personal life. I appreciate that's just an anecdote, but Islamophobia affects all Muslims, including those who aren't as the right wing would have us believe.
Yes there will always be more fundamentalist religious people, but I honestly think most just want to get on with their lives and aren't that bothered what consenting adults do, even if they don't necessarily 'approve'.

R38 - how many mosques in the UK allow women to become imams? How many mosques allow men and women to pray together?
From the 2016 article.
[quote]Extensive polling conducted by ICM suggests that in most cases attitudes held by the British Muslim population do not broadly differ from those held by the population at large, but there are significant differences when it comes to some issues such as homosexuality and women’s rights.
52% of Muslims in Britain think gay sex should be criminalised. 47% think gay people should be barred from teaching jobs. 39% think wives should obey their husbands.
There was a recent poll on attitudes towards gay rights. Wales is now the most gay friendly part of the UK and London the most disapproving. LONDON.
There's a video of Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner talking to a group of Muslims about Gaza over the weekend. No other women in the room. Remember the photo of Humza Yousaf praying when he became First Minister? No women in the room. Remember the violent assaults on gay men in 2021 that prompted a lot of media coverage? Most of the attackers were British muslims.

R40 Stop doing what? Answering questions about my weekend? I'm not suggesting for a second that they think Allah loves gay sex. I just think many Muslims born here don't actively want to harm gay people any more than Christians do. So if you asked them direct, they'd say: "My religion doesn't approve of it, but do what you like", as opposed to "I think you should be thrown off a roof for being gay".
Whereas some on the right disingenuously act like most Muslims do want to see the latter happen and would actively campaign for it.
R42 I'm not saying any of those things are right, but how many of those people would actually want to see that happen in reality? If they had full control? I think it's all fine and well being asked a hypothetical question knowing your answer won't change anything.
But I'm not even sure what's being argued here. Is that that Islam should be outlawed? If so, how does that make you any better?

The vast majority of Muslims and Christians fully support restricting gays in every way possible and many of them work tirelessly to curtail gay rights via political pressure, public campaigns, direct action etc. To claim anything else is just completely unrealistic and blatantly untrue. Evidence is everywhere.
OP's link is a good example of a Muslim community working against gay people because they deeply believe that we are disgusting, diseased degenerates and child groomers and an abomination to god. Exactly - word for word - what the vast majority of Christians believe. The only difference between the two religions is that Muslims kill us for being gay (12 Muslim countries apply the death penalty to homosexual acts) and the Christians would like to but they can't get away with it.

In the UK gay rights are a settled issue for the overwhelming majority of the public. At the moment British Muslims are obsessed with Jews and Zionists but the gays aren't forgotten.
Sex education in schools is an issue mainly because of the trans ideology being pushed onto kids and drag queen story hour stuff. The only threat to gay rights in the UK comes from trans activists who want to abolish sex based protections which would nullify the concept of same sex attraction if so.

r49 I grew up around a lot of Muslims. Every last one of them cannot STAND gay people. When amongst themselves or those who they consider "family" they show their true colors. But don't get it twisted, just because they are smiling in your face and even seem interested in your same-sex partnership, they not only dislike us, but consider our very existence to be haram and deserving of death. They just can't get away with that shit in Western countries and have learned how to adapt.
I think you're confusing practicing Muslims with non-practicing ethnic Arabs. The Westernized non-Muslim Arabs may be supportive or indifferent, but when it comes to practicing Muslims, absolutely zero want anything to do with gays and they all believe we should be put to death. Thankfully, Western nations aren't under Sharia Law, so if they tried anything, they'd be imprisoned.

I guess they could. But, the city would making themselves liable for lawsuits.
I think some of the officials at the City of Hamtramck and other homophobes around Michigan are annoyed because on a state level Michigan's legislature expanded the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to give civil right protections to LGBT communities. The linked article below details the expansion. There had been attempts for years to expand the ELCRA to the LGBT communities for years, the attempts stalled in the legislature because the Republicans controlled the legislature for many years. When Democrats got control of the state house and state senate in 2023 they were able to get bills passed to expand ELCRA. There are several LGBT people serving as state legislators and that probably has to piss off the homophobes as well.

r102 And it's not even just "one town," actually. Michigan has an incredibly high Muslim population, in general. Dearborn is also home to the largest mosque in the US (Islamic Center of America). And it gets a lot of international traffic during major Islamic holidays. We basically have a mini-Mecca here in Michigan.

R98 I wish you'd come back and further the conversation.
I really want to understand how one can be so opposed to the Christian nonsense (as I am) but not Islamic nonsense. It has always boggled my mind.
We (the left) have it totally correct on its distrust of organized religion in general...but with the glaring exception of Islam. No one has ever been able to explain it to me.

r105 They associate Islam with brown poor countries and Christianity with wealthy white countries. Therefore, Islam is more deserving of protection and understanding than Christianity. Ironically, Christians in Muslim-majority countries are heavily persecuted and face extreme violence on a daily basis. The same is not true of Muslims in Christian-majority countries. It just doesn't get as reported on mainstream media because it's an inconvenient truth about Islam.

R106, a Muslim 6-year-old was stabbed to death by an Islamaphobic right-winger such as yourself

Now do all the Christians complaining about Pride displays. Or does it not matter when white Christians do it?

And once again, there is no such thing as "Islamaphobia." Merely good sense. And I say that as someone whose father was Muslim. I had him cremated, anyway. Kindly GFY, r108.

R112 I think it's fine to say there IS Islamophobia—but that it's mostly warranted.

R109 we all agree with you that a religion as moronic and stupid and dangerous as Christianity is moronic and stupid and dangerous. We all agree that what that asshole did is shitty and fucking horrible. And he's using his "religion" as a damn shield for his bigotry.
Can you say the same thing about Islam? Since it also moronic and stupid and dangerous?

This thread is rage farming. Every time it calms down, someone vinos it up to get everyone in a froth. Ignored. 🚫

R115 You are an idiot. You have been posting these idiotic rage baiting nonsense comments for about a week now in numerous threads. If you don't care for the thread and/or the posts by others, then just avoid them. Trying to put a label on everything you don't agree with or that you find that fits your description of rage and demand that it be shut-down is absurd. Just remove yourself from the dialogue.
Or better yet, have you tried prunes?

r100 there is a huge Muslim population in Michigan. It is not a surprise.

Not true. Most of Michigan's middle easterners are Christian Chaldeans.

or Palestinian Christians
Or Lebanese Maronites
The actual Muslim population is about 350,000 Total compared to a Jewish population of about 120,000

[quote]Mayor of only Muslim-run city in US endorses Trump for election
[quote]Ghalib told The Detroit News last week that the pair had discussed the concerns of Arab and Muslim Americans and that Trump had requested his endorsement.
I guess Mr. Mayor doesn't care about the slaughter of Iranian Muslims.

As a Yemeni, Mr Mayor definitely doesn't care about the slaughter of Iranians. He'd cheer it on.

No surprise there, then.
Many Republicans don't like Muslims, but they share a lot of the same right wing views, so I can see why some Muslims put aside the "some of them hate us" thing.
