Ilhan Omar has tried to sell herself as a moderate Muslim. This manifests as systemic anti-Semitism on one hand and marrying a white devil on the other—an extremist balancing act.
A polite way of leading into recent comments by Rep Omar, who says – beyond all sense or sensibility – that she wants Muslims to play nice with the gender-bending crowd.
Omar … suggested that because Muslims and people who identify as LGBT are both supposedly “marginalized communit[ies]” in the United States, the former should not “punch down” against the latter. “Solidarity for us has been lifesaving, and that solidarity needs to exist for others whose lives need to be protected.”
“We should not be the ones who are, you know, making people not be proud to celebrate who they are and who they choose to be,” she continued.
What’s next, telling Muslim parents their boys are girls? It would have been easier to get hypocritical corporations to push pride month products in the Middle East, which they’ve never done. But they have tried the former in the UK.
England has broken new ground in the culture war. A Muslim woman has removed her child from a school with predominantly Muslim children. Why? They are teaching something called CHIPS.
“Challenging homophobia in primary schools – and it’s totally against Islamic beliefs.” …
Fatima is a woman who says she respects the Equality Acts but believes they “can be implemented without the promotion of homosexuality.”
Oil and water, as they say, don’t mix, so if you’ve got your little black heart on diversity by any means, you will have to shake constantly, which is bound to result in some less-than-desirable pushback.
That should land them in the Left’s Hater’s guidebook to intolerant people. May object strenuously to others’ religious views or the absence of them. Have been known to throw gays off rooftops in some foreign countries or ban pride flags in or on public buildings.
Then there is this creative bit of Bullsh!t. “We should not be the ones who are, you know, making people not be proud to celebrate who they are and who they choose to be.”
I have been married to a white woman (for almost 30 years), am white, Republican, conservatarian, and Christian parent, and advocate for free speech. Your party, “the ones who are, you know, making people proud to celebrate who they are and choose to be,” hate all of that. You don’t want anyone to be any of those things (certainly not two or more) and have no issue with using street thugs or the police state to silence them.
You say ‘Be You,’ but what you mean is be you, as in just like you. The room full of people who look different but say and think the same things.
Boston University student Diana Soriano suggested to her peers that the classroom could benefit from more intellectual diversity. Most classrooms would. So, how was her suggestion received? She was compared to a well-known student who had been labeled a neo-nazi.
That was for daring to suggest a classroom could be an open forum for competing ideas.
You sense the irony. Smart people calling you a fascist for suggesting the inclusion of opposing ideas. Open debate. Diverse thought. In the inclusive excellence, equity and diversity culture? Those words are Newspeak for a room full of people who are labeled differently and may even look different but are required to think the same.
The liberal utopia.
It is all a lie. Everything about the Democrat party and its diversity narrative is a lie. You aren’t “making people proud to celebrate who they are and choose to be.” You don’t want them to get along; you can’t. The division is how the left takes over, and I feel certain you know that.
Victor Davis Hanson has a great bit about this (and how Barry Obama led the charge to destroy race relations in the United States). The deliberate disunion of a thriving melting pot of people who looked different and were not just free to have different ideas but did not see this as a bad thing.
