[E. Pluribus Unum]

Islam is not a race.

[iamgalt]

Shaun is right.

[FreedomPoster]

He’s not wrong. If it advances Islam, it’s totally OK to lie, at least to infidels.

[technically right]

Simply pointing out the obvious

[Steely Tom]

Islam is not a race.

Pretending that it's a race is an example of how the left controls the terms of debate.

It's like their continual and unbreakable policy of conflating "immigrants" and "illegal immigrants."

Or, more recently, their policy of "trans women are women." They seem to be in the process of losing that one, but that could change.

[BenLurkin]

Since when is a culture called a race?

[SGCOS]

when you can’t make an argument on the merits, then play the race card. It’s a standard practice.

[Steely Tom]

Since when is a culture called a race?

Communism was forced to switch from "class" to "race" when Western countries became so wealthy that there wasn't enough "revolutionary fervor" among the lowest classes.

For one thing, the "lowest classes" became too much of a minority, which is why the Democrats have to import them by the millions from second- and third-world countries.

[hoagy62]

It’s called “Taquiyya”, and it’s a tenet of Islam.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Anything is a race if the left wants it to be.

Just like anything is racism if the left wants it to be.

[j.havenfarm]

“…sparking backlash against the tech investor.”

Also sparking mixed metaphors among semi-literate “journalists” and editors.

[mbrfl]

Is it racist if it’s true?

[AndyTheBear]

Main stream journalism is another culture that lies.

[GOPJ]

Zohran Mamdani lied because there was no advantage in being a spoiled brat trust fund baby..

[Chewbarkah]

Since Mamdani is a communist, it is more likely that he is lying about being a Muslim, than lying because of Islam. His “culture” is Communism.

Which of the following are known to LIE to advance their agendas and seize power:
A) Democrats.
B) Socialists.
C) Democratic Socialists.
D) Communists.
E) All of the above.

[fella]

Taqqiyya; deceiving the infidel in order to them harm in any way is the act of a saint.

[oldtech]

Shaun might be criticized, but if it was for telling the truth....???

[wardaddy]

Oh boo hoo

[Flaming Conservative]

He’s not wrong
