Seven years later, as the battle against wokeness has supplanted the war on terror in the right-wing imagination, conservative sympathies are reversing. “Republicans are wooing Muslim voters by promising to protect them from LGBTQ rights advocates whose demands conflict with their faith,” David Weigel reported in Semafor this week. The Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who once called for banning Muslim immigration from the Middle East, recently ran a sympathetic segment about Muslim parents in Maryland who want their kids to be exempt from reading books with LGBTQ characters or themes. “Us Catholics and other Christians, other people of faith, have been waiting for the Muslims to step up on this issue,” Ingraham told her guest, a Muslim father and activist named Kareem Monib.

Ah, the article is actually a NYT hit piece. Of course these mis-charaterize the effort a views year back not to allow Muslims from countries openly hostile to the US to immigrate. The is common sense which France is now paying the price for.

Of course the NYT compares immigrants to established US citizens ( there is a difference ) who don’t want their kids to be exposed to Pride Penis Day and Masturbate Monday. Good for them.

Of course a semi conservative area like Salt Lake is now overrun with Californians......the republic may be lost.

I owe Muslims an apology for not knowing how important knowing how to access the roof can be.

George Bush took millions in bribes for his ‘foundation’ and allowed the terrorists to go back to saudi arabia while stopping all flights for US citizens.
The other western politicians take bribes as well. UK’s Tony Blair is the bill clinton of bribe takers.
