An American town run by an all-Muslim city council with a Muslim mayor has found a diplomatic way to keep the Pride flag off public property. They passed a neutrality resolution prohibiting all but five flags from being flown on town property.
The proposal called for the ban of all but five flags from being flown on city properties — including the American flag, the state of Michigan flag, the Hamtramck flag and the Prisoner of War flag. The fifth one is known as the nations’ flag, one that represents the countries from which the city’s immigrant residents hail and reflects the community’s international character.
Ultimately, the council said the decision was not about discriminating but heeding the city’s 2013 resolution about reflecting “the international character of the city.”
No BLM, no “LGBTQ+, religious, ethnic, racial, and political flags.” … “On your property, you can do what you want to do,” Councilman Khalil Refai said.
Some attendees traveled from around Metro Detroit to express their feelings about the measure ahead of the vote.
“This is America. We don’t fly heterosexual flags,” Stephanie Butler said. “…This doesn’t mean people are not free to exist.”
Many told the council they believed limiting the types of flags allowed was a way to criticize the LGBTQ+ community and defied Hamtramck’s reputation as an inclusive place.
Of course, they did. Everything, everywhere, all the time, it’s about you. Your feelings, your priorities, and everywhere has to be your safe space. (conquered is more like it). Your politics, your agenda, your flag. Sorry, that’s not always going to fly.
And wasn’t this inevitable?
The LGBT*** lifestyle is anathema to devout Muslims. We have said for years that it was only a matter of time before growing Islamic communities pandered to by the Left ran headlong into their sex and gender cult despite the sex and gender cult going out of its way to keep that from happening. They don’t challenge Muslim bakers or artists or photographers or dating services (not sure they have one, but you get the point).
When Muslim drivers refused to transport alcohol, the default response was, well, that’s what they believe.
Christians and Jews get sh!t on, and Muslims get their way. That’s how it looks from here, and I’m not saying there is no anti-Islamic animus or that Muslims looking to mind their own business and benefit from America are not harassed. But this victim-class totem poll conflict was as inevitable as the clash between women and the transgender agenda.
Women are still losing that battle.
How the Islam vs. LGBT*** thing progresses is anyone’s guess, but devout Muslims are not likely to back down, and it is unclear whom the political Left will side with if one-day flags are not the only thing on the docket.
