Why Muslim Americans Should Stand With the Transgender Community
Motto from the Editors of Time Magazine ^ | March 6, 2017 | Amara Majeed

Posted on 03/07/2017 1:20:59 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

As a Muslim American, I know what it’s like to have my community’s civil rights rescinded by President Trump. I know what it’s like to live every day in fear of checking social media, expecting the worst. Just today, I woke up to find devastating but, unfortunately, expected news about updates to the travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries. But this morning was a particularly rough one. In addition to finding out about a policy that would affect my community, my heart fell as I saw that the Supreme Court will not hear Gavin Grimm’s case after the Trump administration revoked federal protections for transgender students in public schools, preventing them from using bathrooms corresponding with their gender identities.

As actress and LGBTQ advocate Laverne Cox says, this isn’t just about bathrooms — it’s about the rights of transgender people to exist in public spaces.

Because what really matters is not what you believe in, but whom you hate. They share a common enemy.

As soon as they throw you off a building, I’m sure they’ll think about it.

These people get more shrilly hysteric and stupid daily.

Yo MORON go home to Saudi Arabia/Pakistan/Iraq/wherverstan and try this idiot babble out on the locals. Make sure you life insurance is paid in full before you leave though.

These people do not want their rights. They want “super” rights.

Man, growing up fifty years ago, as a ten year old kid I never heard about any of this kind of crap. Didn’t hear about queers, Muslims, illegal aliens, none of it. What happened? How did we get here?

Send this person to Mecca. I would even be willing to pay for the one way ticket. No round trip needed, they will show her how merciful muzzies are to trans.

They both have to lie every single day to everyone. They at least have that in common.

Your civil rights are doing just fine, lady. How about showing some interest in everyone’s right to live without getting murdered by terrorist savages???

There’s a picture of confusion. Sexually scrambled people aligning with people who would cut their heads off or throw them off a tall building in a flash.

Just today, I woke up to find devastating but, unfortunately, expected news about updates to the travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries.

Does Amara Majeed have difficulty understanding the concept of "the whole truth"?

From this article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country, "According to the Pew Research Center in 2010, there were 50 Muslim-majority countries.".

But President Trump's latest executive order only affects travelers from six countries.

So it is not truthful to describe it as a "travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries". Amara Majeed's claim is clearly deceptive on its face.

That's a polite way of saying that Amara Majeed is a liar. But, her religion permits and even encourages lying to 'infidels'. So, no surprises here...

Moslems should “stand” with the Transgender Community because the TGs are ultimately powerless and in the meantime they help Moslems break down infidel society. They can be dealt with in due time.

The throwing off buildings won’t happen immediately but after the TGs have been useful in breaking down Infidels’ resistance. TGs, by their very nature, don’t think of any future possibilities beyond maybe a day from now. They are superior as useful idiots.

They don’t want their “rights.” They want your heads.
