Islamic Leader Challenges Psaki's Claim Muslim Parents Manipulated by GOP: We're Not 'Political Puppets'
Fox Nws ^ | 7/5 | Hannah Grossman

Jen Psaki comments blaming Republicans for concerns expressed by the Muslim community about LGBTQ curriculum being taught to children as young as elementary school were challenged by a leader one of the largest Islamic organizations in the U.S.

Edward Ahmed Mitchell, the national deputy director at the Council for American-Islamic Relations, said the Islamic faith community is concerned about allegiance to God, not Psaki's preferred politics.

Psaki during her Sunday show also attempted to scare Muslims from being purportedly "recruit[ed]" by the GOP in opposing LGBTQ curriculum they found "age-inappropriate." A similar MSNBC narrative ran on June 21, and was also blasted by Mitchell as "ludicrous" for portraying Muslim parents as "dupes" for the political right.

Are they going to say Muslims are “largely poor, uneducated, and easy to command.” Anyone remember that from 1993?

Politics makes for strange bedfellows.

Wow. Rats don’t oppose the head-choppers when they chop heads; instead they oppose the head-choppers when they oppose faggotry.

I’ve got several Muslim friends who are very religious and very conservative. Great, kind people who I deeply respect. They feel their religion has been highjacked.

Volunteered at a Muslim health clinic for a few years about 15 years ago and was even on the Board of Directors. Started out just a bunch of wonderful Americans but the last year new people came in with a verrry different view and I was fired as a volunteer!

I’m a Catholic and with this current Pope, I’m thinking I’m watching my faith is getting highjacked too.

Unless the jihad is reversed, our fate is playing out right now in France.

Rabies are to dogs as islam is to men.

Muslims are not manipulated my any political party ... only the Quran and I believe the Sunna commands them.

Sure Jen, a religion that commands its followers to kill people for being homosexual would like totally embrace LGBQT+ Pride stuff if it weren’t for those rascally Republicans influencing them...
