I agree, but that shit goes both ways.
Israel is right wing, as is a lot of the islamists... they're just as bad as the evangelical christians in the usa.
You can't tolerate the intolerant just because they're not walking around with swastikas saluting hitler.
This is like if someone said murders are bad, and you showed up to say "but you can't forget murders are bad".
It's really not. The left has been tolerable to islamists for a while now. All for fear of being called racist. Same goes for Israel, AIPAC is still around with huge dem support. Thankfully a lot of the left has full blown rejected Israel now, but they still don't seem to see that islamists are right wing and not on the side of progress and peace.

Tolerable of Muslim, sure...
Tolerable of rightwing extremists regardless of religion, no...
If you can't tell the difference between the two, that would likely cause confusion
Didn't say Muslims did I? I said islamists. And as I pointed out in the article I posted, the left elected islamists because they can't seem to tell the difference.
I'm suripus who youre about to call an Islamist....
Mamdani?
Obama?
Anyone tan er than a piece of blank copy paper?
Hell no, Obama isn't a Muslim and we need more Mamdanis. Did you even read the link? Mamdani didn't spew his religion around at all, he's kept church and state separate like it should be. I just hope he doesn't get bogged down doing the good he has already done by the Dems in NY who hate him.
You're doing the same shit that other progressives do, afraid to call out islamists and give them a pass cause you think you will get called a racist. A right wing authoritarian prick is a right wing authoritarian prick no matter what color their skin is.
I just wanted to make sure your one example was over a decade ago about the city council for a "city" of less than 30k people....
Maybe if you're nice, we can cover who actually voted for them and what their political leanings were (hint: conservative, not progressive).
But honestly there's a lot more after that, and I don't think I'm gonna hang around long enough for you to understand, I'm probably just gonna give up on helping you.
First off Dearborn is not conservative... they're historically dem...they voted 68% for Biden in the election. So no you're completely wrong.
Second, This isn't something that's not been discussed and is a new thing. Plenty of scholars have written about it.

The actual fuck are you talking about?
Your link is for Hamtramck
"Scholars"?!?
No one is debating that sometimes Muslims vote progressive or something progressives vote for Muslims. The answer will never be 100% either way.
You said you wanted to talk about your link, but you've got the location wrong you don't understand it was conservative politicians elected by conservative voters and I'm struggling to think of any excuse for why you think that link is valid
I've sure as shit wasted enough time as you as an individual though
My bad, Hamtramck is still historically a dem stronghold.
You didn't even read the link did you...
The left gives islamists a pass a whole lot. Let's stop pretending they don't.
Again, Hamtramck is a blue voting area.
