On Sunday, Democrat Kristin Mink, a member of the Montgomery County Council for District 5 in Maryland, apologized for equating Muslims who opposed LGBTQ-based curriculum to white supremacists.
Mink had criticized members of the Muslim community for their opposition to a new policy that prevents parents from opting their children out of lessons focused on LGBTQ topics.
“This issue has unfortunately put — does put… some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as white supremacists and outright bigots,” Mink had said. “I would not put you in the same category as those folks, although, you know, it’s complicated because they’re falling on the same side of this particular issue.”
On Sunday, Mink posted an apology letter to the Muslim community on Twitter.
“On Tuesday, June 6, I spoke at a Montgomery County Board of Education meeting about inclusive education and whether families should be permitted to opt their children out of LGBTQIA-Inclusive curriculum materials,” the letter began. “I regret that although my remarks were focused on promoting inclusion, they created an opportunity for misunderstanding and mischaracterization. I apologize for the hurt that caused in the Muslim community.”
Mink continued, “Even when individuals disagree about difficult issues, I am committed to finding space to foster authentic dialogue and seek points of understanding. I sat down to hear from Muslim community members before my remarks on Tuesday and with District 5 Muslim leaders on Thursday. I listened, and I understand their concerns.”
The letter concluded, “I look forward to continuing to work with members of our Muslim and LGBTQIA+ communities as we take on issues of importance for all residents.”

Didn’t she once sing for “Bow Wow Wow”?
I would like to apologize to Muslims for not giving them enough credit for knowing how to get access the roof.
This only means that they haven’t worked out the latest sorting order of the official grievance hierarchy.
Did the alphabet soup martinets actually manage to knock the Muslims off their top perch in the victimhood totem pole?
She has discovered the limits of her idiotic rhetoric, but I expect she’ll still try to get away with it. Not everyone will call her out.

It’s not so much turning the other cheek. We complain loudly about our mistreatment.
Just that we don’t saw peoples heads off or or blow up school buses or fly airplanes full of passengers into skyscrapers.
We outgrew that crusader mentality 1000 years ago
It may need to “grow back”.
White Supremacists? Why about the queer whites? Are they supreme, too? Where do they, and democrat whites fall in this? Are any of you white folks getting just a bit tired of all this?

Regarding “accountability” gap between left and right, this idiot wasn’t “released” by the employer following the BS apology. However, accountability has been satisfied because, to a democrat, the personal trauma of apologizing is considered punishment enough, even when it is a lie and full of phony preening garbage like this one.
ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!!!
For Democrats it doesn’t pay to upset what they understand to be their future bosses.
The problem is that Christians politically are way too damn like sheep. They keep silent.
This is all on the Democrat/communists. The Democrat/communists want to destroy America. Don’t ever vote for Democrat/communists.
Please use the phrase Democrat/communist wherever you refer to the donkey party.
It is important to hammer home what they really are. We CAN use language to fight back. Each time you say or write the phrase Democrat/communist it helps.
The goal is to make the second word communist super glued to the first word Democrat. If we can do this we can destroy the Democrat/communists.

Agree.
The Crusades were organized to push Moslem invaders out of the Mediterranean lands, Greece, Turkey, Sicily, Crete, Judea, North Africa, etc.
These were Christian regions.
Christians in areas occupied by Moslems were brutalized, enslaved, murdered, etc.
