Can someone please identify a few "Muslim issues" that are ignored by Democrats? I can't seem to think of any political issues that could be considered "Muslim"

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Not American

In Canada Muslims vote Conservative

Recently a Liberal visited a Mosque and covered her hair/dressed up for it

They booed her and told her that Muslims will never vote for a pro-gay candidate

We had a nationwide march against gays/trans called the one million march for children, Christian and Muslim leaders joined together to organize it

Yeah that one million march shit is fucked

Source? I can't find anything confirming what you've described.

“I believe (Crombie) should be only targeting LGBTQ votes. I can remember, though, the public statement Bonnie Crombie made about Haya day when we gathered to celebrate our pride about modesty and she sided with the LGBTQ community as if they are the only community worthy of celebrating pride, insulting the Muslim community who voted her to be a mayor of Mississauga.”

Thanks for your perspective!

Yes.

Removing the Muslim ban (Biden delivered on this)

Civil Liberties for Muslim Americans (he won’t meet with Muslim rights groups like CAIR)

Prosecuting hate crimes against Muslims and mosques. (Biden only announced this month that he will get some experts together and make a new policy TBD. Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…)

Evenhanded Israel-Palestine policy (he badly failed at this)

Support democracy in Middle East and Muslim majority countries (he’s failed at this)

Not sure why he waited 3 years to announce he will start to deliver on a campaign promise…

Common tactic. Delay working on vote-winning issues until the end of the first term for that sweet, oh so sweet, double dip.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

ya, just remember if Biden doesn't get in, the guy that unironically wants to send Muslims to camps will get in

[–] griefreeze@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I appreciate this!

Well many of them do seem to be pretty upset at the US giving military aid to Israel.

[–] griefreeze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I completely overlooked that tbh, not my proudest moment.
