Record number of Muslims elected in US midterms: ‘We should lean into who we are’

Advocates cite desire ‘to create social change’ as candidates win seats at the national, state and local levels... ...Growing Muslim political participation is also happening at the voting booth. A 2020 study by EmgageUSA showed significant gains in the number of registered Muslim voters in several states compared with 2016: 39% in Georgia, 35% in Texas and 46% in Wisconsin. Even though Muslims make up just 1.3% of the US population, large communities in swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and Minnesota mean they can play a role in determining key races. In Pennsylvania, for instance, Emgage’s Gula said the state’s large population of African American Muslims had helped the Democrat John Fetterman...

(from wiki) "Islam is the 3rd largest religion in the United States, behind Christianity and Judaism.[1] A 2017 study estimated that 3.45 million Muslims were living in the United States...In 2017, 20 states which were mostly in the South and Midwest reported Islam being the largest non-Christian religion. In 2020, the U.S. Religion Census found there to be 4.45 million Muslims in the country, making up 1.3% of the population.[3]"

4.5 million is equivalent to the shia population of Azerbaijan, and twice the shia population of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria (also wiki)

If you break Catholics and Protestants out of the general category of 'Christianity', the Islamic population becomes the 4th largest religion in the US, but is now larger than the Buddhist religion, which used to be the 4th largest. Hawaii and California have the largest Buddhist populations (8% and 2%).

not sure the evidence is all there as yet, but always worth listening to Natalie Winters:

26 Nov: Geller Report: Cyrpto-Thieves FTX Funded Katie Hobbs Campaign
There is not so much as one column inch in the media about this.
FTX funded a $27 million super PAC, led by a Democrat campaign consultant in Arizona who supported Katie Hobbs...

I wonder how much Muslims in political office “leaning into who they are” is compatible with our Constitutional Republic, and, in particular, to the Bill of Rights.

[Reno89519]

Terrorists in our midst.

[A strike]

Really eff’d up to let anti US Constitution Islam into the country,
worse yet to allow them to subvert our Republic !

Suppose it is September 12, 2001. The day after the 9/11/2001 attack.

Suppose I were to tell you what would happen just a little of 7 years later and beyond? And that much of the population would act indifferent?

1) The USA would elect a Kenyan-Indonesian Muslim sympathizer as President of the USA?

2) That the above would have a sketchy birth certificate that was obviously forged?

3) That a pro-American, pro-American-worker President would later be elected and all sorts of trouble would be rained down upon him?

4) That an overriding agenda would be to pretend that a man in a woman’s dress is actually a woman? And that this flag would be flown across the world at our embassies?

5) That people would riot and burn cities and that it would be called “mostly peaceful”?

6) That George W. Bush would align himself with everyone BUT the pro-American-worker President?

You would have said that’s crazy and impossible. And that such things could never have taken place.

Yet they have.

The last time I recognized this country as itself was 2004.

Lurkinanloomin is MIA since September - Another FReeper too - the name escapes me at the moment

Timestax also appears to be MIA

[Suppose I were to tell you what would happen just a little OVER 7 years later and beyond?]

Aw dang, too much of a hurry as usual (smacks forehead)

[Karliner]

The enemy of my enemy right now? If some muslims can clean up the woke and immoral madness, God bless them but then sooner or later the war will be jihad, it’ll always end up jihad.

[SaveFerris]

Islam, at its core doctrines, denies the Deity of Jesus Christ.

But they generally have avoided the Genesis 19 trap.

However, Singapore (?, if memory serves).........

[Denying the Deity of Jesus Christ]

Which is why Bammy proudly declared the USA is no longer a Christian nation. His real father (John 8:44) has given him work to do. In exchange for wealth and fame.

[Bob434]

yep- but don’t say it out loud, or you’ll be vilified as ‘islamaphobic’ by the left- who want us to just shut up and comply-

[Karliner]

Yes. I can only pray America stands until Jesus returns now.

[Bob434]

C’mon mannnnn- that could never happen here -

[SaveFerris]

Exactly.

Frankly, I would never have believed it either, on that day.

Yet this is exactly where we are today.

There’s hardly a week that passes that my jaw isn’t dropping at some new and totally stupid thing.

[SaveFerris]

[Yes. I can only pray America stands until Jesus returns now.]

I hope and pray He comes soon because at the rate which this world is descending.........Satan and the spirit of antichrist are having a heyday through their goats....

Luke 21:34-36

[Bob434]

it is shocking how fast the left foisted their garbage socialist/communist agenda on the nation- The America I grew up in no longer exists- And the whole covid thing- again, it was shocking how violently angry the left became over people not vaccinating and protesting work closures etc- and how fast they wiped out grocery stores- it was just nuts-

[SaveFerris]

[The America I grew up in no longer exists]

It is gone. And it will never return. I would prefer to be wrong. It’s just not possible to go back now. Not with the general stupidity that abounds.

[SaveFerris]

[And the whole covid thing- again, it was shocking how violently angry the left became over people not vaccinating and protesting work closures etc- and how fast they wiped out grocery stores- it was just nuts]

I was predicting 24-72 hours. My local WalMart had empty shelves that once had bread, canned vegetables, soup, meat, chicken - ALL OF IT WAS GONE - and stayed gone. For weeks and weeks and weeks on end.

I have a decent supply of canned goods but can't really build up much now as I'm no longer working and still trying to get my two cars fixed. Sigh....

[Covid-19] - here I go again:

THE FOLLOWING IS SOMETHING I SAVED FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS

Covid-19⁽⁸⁴⁾

Covid-19⁽⁸⁴⁾ is not the Mark of the Beast.

(I'm just saying that for the thread)

BUT:

The parallels are downright eerie.

A clear warning of things to come.

Covid-19 came as a snare. Now it's not THE snare.

But still, it came as a snare. UPON THE ENTIRE WORLD.

A snare that came upon the entire world and institutionalized Global tyranny almost overnight.

Determining if you can travel, buy and in some cases sell.

Or if you can even work a job.

Tyranny upon tyranny.

The parallels are just too eerie and too spot-on.

This is a very clear foreshadowing of Revelation chapter 13 and the sheep are blind to it.

[noiseman]

Great. Any more good news?

[No name given]

And may Jesus return soon.

[chopperk]

American people will be sorry.
