@springheeljacks@mags_mclaugh @brent_peabody Rashida Tlaib herself has been speaking up about it. She's aware of the bigotry festering in some corners of the Michigan Muslim popilation, why aren't you?
@springheeljacks@mags_mclaugh @brent_peabody Not an argument. All-Muslim city council and Muslim mayor banned pride flags right next door to Dearborn. Seems like you haven't been paying attention.
@handsomebugboy @brent_peabody @mags_mclaugh Either way, there's a very loud anti-LGBT contingent in the Michigan Muslim population and it's not racist to point that out, just as it wouldn't be racist to point out anti-LGBT prevalence among Mormons in Utah or evangelicals in the Midwest.
@handsomebugboy @brent_peabody @mags_mclaugh Islam is a religion, not a race. Y'all talk shit about Christians all the time, I think some light criticism of the views of other religions is okay from time-to-time.
@ComradeX02 Firing people for having distasteful social views changes nothing. It doesn't change their minds, and just creates a cucle of bitter resentment and tit-for-tat sniping. People shouldn't be threatened with poverty for being rude on the internet.
