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"

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

no way to stop this says only country... oh no wait thats shootings.

what do you call a democratic system where you only have one choice?

[-] orrk@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

see, you happen to be confusing having one not horrible choice with having no choice.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

that is known as an ultimatum, which is indeed no choice at all

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

It's American "democracy" in action

Clearly we need a different system, because it's clear that Democrats will never make the types of change we need, and we sure as hell can't vote Republican

It's a farce

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

why are you relying on electoralism to enact change? no, you go out and vote every election so the least bad, and easier to work with government gets into power, not so you can sit back as they do everything

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Why are you a liar? Let's start with that. I vote in every election, fuckwit. And the Democrats have consistently failed me.

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

even in a multi party system, why would there be multiple parties that have similar demands?

you also again forget that you have a choice of following through with an ultimatum

[-] griefreeze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I appreciate this!

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

[-] K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that one million march shit is fucked

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.”

[-] griefreeze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for your perspective!

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] griefreeze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I completely overlooked that tbh, not my proudest moment.
