[Editor’s note: Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s masterpiece contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
Regenbogen, Vienna’s ‘rainbow’ gay pride parade, began with the announcement that three Muslim teenagers with roots in Bosnia and Chechnya, were arrested for planning an attack using axes and knives. The alleged Muslim terrorists were reportedly supporters of ISIS.
Dominik Nepp, the leader of Austria’s conservative Freedom Party, blasted a “completely misguided red-green-pink mass immigration policy that promotes radical Islam in Vienna and throughout Austria.”
“Perhaps at some point the self-proclaimed left-wing moralizers will realize that they are inviting exactly those groups to our country that are in fact their greatest opponents and represent exactly the opposite of what they always preach.”
There’s little chance of that. Austria, like America, still lives in a fantasy world in which the black flags of Islam can co-exist with the rainbow flag, but the fantasy is rapidly coming apart.
Not long ago, the media was hailing Hamtramck as a model with its first all-Muslim city government. Now it’s shocked when the Michigan city banned pride flags on public property.
“There’s a sense of betrayal,” former mayor Karen Majewski complained. “We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.”
Majewski has no reason to be surprised. Neither does the media. She broke a city council tie in 2021 between Muslim and non-Muslim city council members in support of the LGBTQ flag.
Asm Kamal Rahman, the president of the local NAACP and a member of the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, had compared homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia.
After hailing the all-Muslim council in a city overrun by Yemenis and Bangladeshis as a sign of progress, the realization has arrived that Democrats can have Islam or LGBT, but not both.
How is a party based around building coalitions of minorities supposed to choose?
Islamic teachings were always incompatible with the sexual politics of its new leftist allies. Muslim Brotherhood groups, eager to capitalize on their newfound status after 9/11, avoided directly addressing those issues. CAIR signed letters and appeared at events alongside gay rights groups like HRC. Muslim candidates running for public office even invoked sexual identity
Rep. Ilhan Omar has an entire page dedicated to the “fight for LGBTQIA+ rights”. But local Muslim officials, like those in Hamtramck, are breaking away from the rainbow coalition.
Muslims vocally protested at a school board meeting in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn, like Hamtramck, has a nearly 50% Muslim population. And that appears to be the tipping point. At a quarter of the population, Muslims generally toe the liberal line in public, while approaching the halfway mark, the masquerade ends and Democrats have to make some difficult choices.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the country’s biggest gay rights group, has a page promoting homosexuality’s compatibility with Islam. The Institute for Social Policy & Understanding (ISPU), under Dalia Mogahed, a former Obama adviser and Islamist ally, with an office in Dearborn and backing from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, however released a survey claiming that 0% of Muslims are lesbian or gay.
Even while the visual language of wokeness seen in innumerable ads and stock photos depicts women in hijabs next to gay and transgender people, the reality on the ground is very different.
When Omar Mateen, an Afghan Muslim terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, a cover-up was launched that persists to this day in which the annual anniversary of the Pulse massacre is marked each year as a testament to homophobia, not Islamic terrorism.
While Omar may not have even known that he was in a gay nightclub before he began killing people, other Islamic terrorists have set out to target gay pride events in the United States.
Elvin Hunter Bgorn Williams, a Muslim convert who joined ISIS, discussed driving a “semi-truck” through “the gay pride parade in downtown Seattle”. Amer Alhaggagi, a Berkeley High School graduate, a Yemeni Jihadi whose lawyer called him an “all-American boy”, had declared, “I’m going to place a bomb in a gay club, Wallah or by Allah.”
The media treats Muslim terror attacks as meaningless outliers, but it’s harder to dismiss events in Dearborn and Hamtramck the same way. Or to ignore the fact that Muslims and the LGBT movement have incompatible values and agendas. And the Left can’t claim to champion both.
The Democrats believed that they could build a ‘rainbow coalition’, a majority of minorities that would swamp the nation, overthrow the old America and replace it with their new alliance. The strategy appeared to be working as long as the minorities were united by their opposition to a majority. But the cracks are spreading, and not just among Islamists and gay rights activists.
Urban Democrats are being forced to come to terms with the fact that they may not be able to secure the support of both black community groups and Asian voters at the same time. Latinos are displaying a growing tendency to go their own way. Even the Jewish electorate, once a reliable rubber stamp, is turning conservative and religious in strongholds like New York City.
Immigrants, once seen as a vanguard of demographic transformation, are securing cities and states for the Democrats, but those groups whether Latino, Muslim, Asian or even African, are proving to have their own agendas that are at odds with a party that claims to be diverse, yet has become politically monocultural, imposing a ruthless ideological discipline that has purged non-black religious conservatives, traditional feminists, immigration restrictionist environmentalists and working class whites in pursuit of the ideal leftist collective.
But the new immigrants are much more likely to hold traditional values on matters of sexual morality: to be opposed to abortion, pride parades and everything white lefties love so much.
Muslim Democrats, like Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib, who built their national political power to implement an anti-American agenda based on this big intersectional lie, are caught in the middle.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, whose district includes parts of Hamtramck, responded to the gay pride flag ban by tweeting, “I can’t imagine how it feels for our LGBTQ+ neighbors in Hamtramck to watch their own elected reps decide their existence doesn’t matter. This is painful to see in a city that has always fought for equal justice for all. This action divides our communities.”
Hamtramck legalized animal sacrifice in homes, and made Eid a paid holiday, as did Dearborn. Despite their protestations, Muslim elected officials in cities on track to have an Islamic majority are representing their community and not anyone else’s. They are the most obvious example that the notion of multicultural “communities” that transcend identities through collective solidarity is a myth. And so is the entire majority of minorities coalition that claims “brown people” or the “oppressed” have anything in common beyond a hostility toward white people.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan lashed out at Hamtramck by declaring, “The City of Detroit proudly raises our Pride Flag at the start of every Pride Month.” And it will until it has a Muslim majority.
Democrats have dismantled tolerance and opened the door to a gold rush by members of its coalition to impose their most extreme agendas on the public with no regard to everyone else.
A leftist majority will force pride flags and LGBT pornography in schools on everyone. A Muslim majority will force sharia on everyone. That is what happens in a country that has abandoned both its traditional consensus on values and its respect for individual beliefs leaving regions with a choice between female genital mutilation and transgender masectomies, between marrying 7-year-old girls and grooming first graders.
America has three choices, either imposing sharia or sexual identity politics, or returning to what we were before we had to choose which group of extremists to allow to abuse our children.
>Even the Jewish electorate, once a reliable rubber stamp, is turning conservative and religious in strongholds like New York City.
Is that why Dan Goldman, a San Francisco leftist and Schiff’s lead prosecutor in the Trump case, was elected in the 10th district? The Satmar Rebbe endorsed Kathy Hochul. Beyond that…
The Dems can have LGBQT and the Republicans can have Muslims:
There are already Republican consultants looking at the growing Muslim vote and wondering if the party has its priorities straight, that maybe Republicans ought to reach out to Muslims, like the Bush family did.
How are we to turn back the clock? The Christian demographic is shrinking–as you wrote recently–and Christian denominations fracturing all while Americans are morally adrift. In just a few more short years, formerly practicing Christians will have outlived their waning Christian sensibilities.
Yes, this incident is very satisfying to those of us on the right, but there’s no John Wesley on the horizon to take advantage of the situation.
So every Jew in America shares the same brain with Dan Goldman?
Name one Republican consultant who’s considered pandering to islamopithecines.
Practicing Christians are going to disappear?
Are you insane?
While The Left really is The Left, the “Right” largely exists as a straw man for the left to bash and to accuse of being every kind of hateful, uptight, intolerant bigot. That paradigm is tired, and it’s worthless. The spirit in which I believe We, the People, can, and will, move forward is in line with the spirit of 1776–which has long been buried— by both political parties—under worship of earthly power and riches—and under worship of ever more powerful centralized governance—by unaccountable leaders who see themselves as little gods.
I am a Christian—and while the mainstream churches are pretty pathetic, and thoroughly de-fanged, and happy to collaborate with every leftwing initiative that comes along—for fear of offending anyone in power, or still in the pews—those churches can join with the left and fade away, but the spirit I’’m focused on is not something that dies—no matter how many educated idiots are out there who only repeat conventional wisdom from fellow educated idiots.
I don’t mean to go too negative on a fellow “conservative”—but there’s a much bigger paradigm shift in the works—and The Left is ultimately a dead letter.
That reminded me of when I tried to explain Islam to some Democrats (well-meaning classical liberals). I got evasion after evasion in return, and subtle condescending putdowns. Now I don’t even bring up the subject with them any more.
In the USSR, the diagnosis used to put political dissidents into mental hospitals was, “failure to appreciate reality.” You could probably commit the entire Dem Party on that diagnosis. They have been thoroughly infected with post-modernism which rejects the existence of objective truth, facts, logic and reason. To them, everything is simply a “narrative.” With their informational supremacy achieved through control of almost all of our sources of information, they press “their truths,” which are divorced from what normal people consider “actual truth” on a lazy and incurious population that laps it up, despite reporting its own distrust of the media.
Very well said. They think they are on the road to Utopia but, like many before them on the same quest, they fail to take human nature into consideration. Like the father who asked his “liberal”, grade A student if she would take a lesser grade so others who didn’t work as hard could have a better grade for the good of all students in the class she was not so ready to sacrifice her hard-earned gains. The “lazy and incurious” will remain so until they are required to sacrifice for their ideology and, as always, we will see that pesky, ole human nature thing kick in again and the Marxists will have to go back to the drawing board.
The Road to Utopia? Wasn’t that a Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movie?
Just ask them if they’ve read the koran, hadith and sura. When they say no (unless they lie,) tell them they don’t know shit about islam, which we both know they don’t. If they lie, tell them to describe what they read. They won’t be able to, of course. I hate it when overly tolerant fools defend the death cult of Mohammad.
Roosters come home to roost.
Maybe this trans nonsense and pronoun stupidity was deliberately created by the United Muslim Nations to get the west to accept islamic sharia law.
Nah, its another coincidental conspiracy theory that won’t be true for a while yet.
I believe the quote attributed to Malcolm X is “The CHICKENS are coming home to roost.”
…Malcolm X said it while as a muslim in The Nation of Islam…the irony.
I knew I had it wrong but couldn’t remember the exact quote. Thanks
I remember not long Muslims and Islam were at top of political correctness hierarchy.. Now its seems they slipped to a distant 4th behind LGBTQ, BLM and “climate change.”
Still in many circles if you accuse Islam of being “homophobic”, you’ll be accused of being “Islamophobic.”
If you mention that islam is homophobic, you’ll be accused of beingislamophic. The ludicrous irony makes my head spin.
“Democrats can have Islam or LGBT, but not both.” Sometimes one has to make choices. One can care about starving children in Africa, or protecting endangered species, but not both, if one forbids the child’s father to.hunt on the game presrve. You can’t care about native American fishing rights and then tell the native Americans not to kill the seals who eat up the fish.
I agree, but can’t upvote. Choosing one cause means rejecting and cutting off others. There is no one morally correct course of action.
Eskimos do kill and eat seals. Everything but the bark, as my friend once told me.
They could do well if the sold the bark to Democrat speakers. They love having their clapping seals bark when they say something “profound”.
Don’t underestimate the leftist ability to deny reality. They undoubtedly know that Islam and the great majority of Muslims are hostile to gay rights.
I knew a Marxist feminist who visited Cuba in the mid 1980s and came back with a glowing report of life in the Workers Paradise in the Caribbean. When I reminded her that Fidel Castro threw gays in concentration camps, she said the fault was Latin machismo, rather than Fidel Castro personality. Odd, because homosexuality was legal in pre revolutionary Cuba, as it has been in most Latin American countries (and in 1959, it was still illegal in every anglophone country). Muslims are certainly virulent in their hatred of gays (a dozen or more Muslim countries not only criminalize homosexuality, they make it a capital offense, including Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden’s favorite incipient nuclear power, Iran) but this is hardly the first time the Left has embraced people and causes for whom LGBT rights are anathema.
LGBTQ++++++++++ and Islam can both go straight to Hell. I have no use for either in my life. Deport all of them.
I agree wholeheartedly. Just as you can’t claim to be Christian while encougering homosexuality and encouragement is the same as turning a blind eye.
“At a quarter of the population, Muslims generally toe the liberal line in public, while approaching the halfway mark, the masquerade ends and Democrats have to make some difficult choices.”
The Muslim Population time bomb Pt1
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
The Muslim Population time bomb Pt2
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.
All true but the islamopithecines have been burning cars in Paris since the 90s. It’s probably a nightly occurrence now, though.
They haven’t reached that level of depravity here……………………….yet
With the ongoing persecution of Christians in Africa, it looks as if countries there have reached the 40 – 60% mark. Non-Muslims are rapidly becoming an endangered species.
It looks like Christians in Africa take the “turn the other cheek” to the point of their own extinction. THX would approve.
The Muslim Population time bomb Pt3
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%.
100% will usher in the “peace” of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, SomaliaMuslim 100%, Yemen —Muslim 100%..
I have no reason to doubt the figures you quoted except the Indonesian one. I used to live there and the government always lies and overstates the moslem population. It does have a vile transmigration policy where it relocates moslems to Christian areas, though.
And what you said about moslem population levels is obviously factual Strangely enough, not in Indonesia, though. Very few of them are interested in jihad and murder. They’re mostly interested in family, shopping and fun.
And Muslims get along with each other so well?
They kill each other with just as much abandon
Democrats can have Islam or LGBT, but not both. Someone please tell Minnesota AG Keith Ellison.
Who also get away with domestic violence, which would be anathema to feminism and leftists otherwise.
The Democrats certainly CAN have both Muslims and alphabet people, as long as they are both getting government checks.
I’m not ready to “all hail” the Muslims in Hamtramck despite their standing up when Americans have chosen not to. Perhaps, there’s a lesson to be learned lurking in Hamtramck
Human Rights Campaign? HRC? More like Hella Retarded Campaign.
Bestiality and pedophilia? The islamopithecines are experts at both. I saw a video of an Afghan raping a sheep and Mohammad was the world’s most famous pedophile.
The Leftists are totally aware that they support groups that are not only the polar opposites of pro-white/Judeo-Christian/straight/conservative, but are also sworn enemies of each other. The chaos and violence that ensues advances their goal of destroying America.
There would come a time when they’d have to confront each other as it’s not compatible with Islam. It’s interesting through that, if I recall correctly, certain Muslim entities are allowed to sexually entertain themselves with young boys.
As a Roman Catholic Christian, I don’t agree with Moslems about much beyond our shared Monotheism.
But on this issue–the promotion in schools, the media, and in politics of the militant, aggressive “LGBTQXYZ” Agenda, and its grooming of young schoolchildren to join it, and the pressure applied to them to undergo “gender-affirming” (i.e. “hormones” and surgical mutilation) “care,” and to brainwash young children to question whether they’re “actually” boys or girls…on that, too, I and my fellow “Sons of Abraham” stand firmly on shared common ground.
My fellow U.S. Citizens–Christian, Mohammedan, and all the rest, native-born (as I am) or legal immigrant–let’s take that as a good First Step towards the Salvation and Restoration of our Republic, and work together against The Enemy, from there.
We have two great Blueprints to guide us: The Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution.
And the islamopithecines hate both of those blueprints.
The devil is the father of all lies, but his purpose is always to deceive, often through the spread of confusion. Both Muslims and Alphabets are Satanic. I will NEVER join in condemning one by joining in common cause with the other. I will condemn both because both come from the father of all lies.
I will pray that their eyes may be opened to the truth which can be found in the first chapter in the Gospel of John. And I will turn away and avert MY eyes to the hideous sight of both.
Me too as to this brave new world of the woke scoring-point world.
Islam won’t fit in the right – despite this anti-LGBTetc. thing. There is no freedom for whose who in the moon god, and his rapist, killer prophet.
Every political spectrum should reject islam! Even Massachusettes realized they are anti-semitic (they are also anti-Christian and anti-everyone who doesn’t worship their ‘god’ that hates, lies, murders, is a sexual pervert and on and on with bad things.)
Mr Greenfield,
While I appreciate you like to point the finger at Mohammedans most of the time, I’d like to encourage you to reflect on the conduct of your fellow Jews. When looking at the State of Israel, it currently permits homosexual ‘pride’ parades – while at the same time having a group of Orthodox Jews who reject the practices associated with homosexuality. Can, and should, Israel have both ‘gay pride’ and homosexuality, or can there only be one (I heard that recently efforts were made in Israel to ban the Gospel – shameful – but what about banning gays)?
You state:
‘America has three choices, either imposing sharia or sexual identity politics, or returning to what we were before we had to choose which group of extremists to allow to abuse our children.’
Can you clearly explain ‘what we [Americans] had before’, please? As far as I’m aware, what came before was a form of traditional protestant Christianity – is this what you mean, Mr Greenfield? 🙂
At any rate, Jews need to sort out their own kind and kin, and get right with God – judgment upon the world, including the U.S.A and Israel, is not far off.
Cheers.
Multiculturalists confronting multiple cultures always is entertaining; it’s reminiscent of a few things – Copperheads in the Civil War, Northern abolitionists faced with the results of the Civil War and abolition, GW Bush confronted with a different culture and expecting to teach them Jeffersonian democracy, Hilary, after getting Ghaddafi murdered in the street, asking “Why did they [Libyans] do that after we helped them” by whacking Libya, GHW Bush encouraging Saddam to invade Kuwait and then whacking them, only to leave-behind a medieval theocracy that began executing apostates as we left.
Our political establishment is so amazing hubristic, naive, uneducated in any real sense, stupid, etc. Which is because our voters are the same, constantly electing and re-electing the dumbest employed 535 employed Americans. And THAT’s because of JFK’s EO 10988 and the fact that, as Sowell and Williams often noted, the dumbest students in any college, by SAT, are those in the School of Ed.
United in hate of West. ButDystopian futures both and BUT ultimately incompatible with each other. Though i think trudeau the minstrel player once worr socks with both a rainbow and a hammer and sickle
A fantastic article by the best columnists no one has ever heard of.
Stupidity has achieved critical mass, and is now a self sustaining reaction covering the planet like a Sherwin Williams™’s paint ad.
This figures to be an ugly death, like drowning in an open septic tank.
The problem seems to be non-negotiable demands. If these exist, then a coalition might only be possible if every group conceded to the non-negotiable demands of the others. But if these are contradictory, then presumably they would have to be limited to the home and not admitted to the public square. But totalitarian ideologies demand that everyone in a society should conform and accept these demands. It used to be that do not ask, do not tell was acceptable for deviant minorities. But now, they demand that their demands be publicly accepted and even indoctrinated into children in schools. In short, it becomes harder and harder to look the other way for the sake of an alliance. The Democrats should have checked whether the Muslims would be compatible with the other rainbow coalition members before encouraging massive immigration. Muslims do not encourage massive immigration of non-muslims into their societies. Perhaps they know something about incompatible demands.
And the islamopithecines hate both of those blueprints with demonic passion.
We want no part of their Global Neighborhood we prefer our own Neighborhood where we know each other
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Does not work in the long run. Eventually the values and interest of temporary friends will clash. And that is what we are starting to see.
I have NEVER understood why Muslims vote for Democrats except on immigration issues. I lived in Pakistan in the 60s and I know that world.
First, I have NEVER understood why Muslims move to the Western world in the first place. It will morally corrupt your children in a generation. Over there, they have arranged marriages which is a GREAT IDEA. Look at the divorce rate in America. Do you think we have a good system?
We have a good system, just imperfect people. Arranged marriages are a great idea? Oh my.
Did you know that it was the Puritans who insisted on conjugal marriage? Arranged marriages were the rule before they insisted that both parties to a marriage should actually consent to it.
