I can see where the Oakland city council might want to suck up to their constituents who hate anything that might be considered ‘Western’ even though it does nothing to make the city better.
But is there an outcry from union members regarding what’s going on in Gaza. I realize there are lots of muslims living in the Detroit area, but are they working in the auto plants?
"...As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness. At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Muslim. Like any other minority, they won’t integrate, but work to build their own separate community. From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa's Muslim population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none..."
Etc. Etc. Etc.
