    Islam and far right Christianity have a lot in common. Wouldn’t surprise me that the Muslim community would side with the party that wants to limit women’s rights and LGBTQ rights.

      My dude Arab and Muslim Americans vote for Democrats by like, a 5 to 1 margin, and the Muslims in Congress are among the most progressive in the country. They’re saying they don’t want to vote for a president enabling ethnic cleansing and THIS is what you’re taking from that?

        Arab and Muslim activists are currently working with the Conservative party in my jurisdiction to institute clear anti trans laws so yes, I’m taking reality away from this article. I’m literally watching it happen right in front of me, thankfully saner votes prevailed in our last election.
