It's always hard having a coalition with some members who want to do their thing and push their agenda, and another portion that wants to throw them off rooftops or behead them for doing their thing and pushing their agenda.
That tension was on display in Dearborn Michigan recently when at the School Board meeting, Muslims wanted homosexual-related books removed from schools.
The Detroit Free Press: Protesters shut down Dearborn school board meeting over LGBTQ books
One of Michigan's most prominent faith leaders, Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, urged people during his Friday sermon to attend the protests.
"Some of those books are completely inappropriate for our children to read," Al-Qazwini said. "Some of those books promote pornography. Some of them promote homosexuality. We don't need this. Go and attend this meeting."
Qazwini as a popular Democrat supporter has issues, including a history of anti-antisemitism that came to light (at least among Democrats) during his very vocal support and campaign for for Bernie Sanders.
Qazwini then went on to note that as Muslims are the majority in Dearborn they should get to decide what gets taught in schools and in school libraries.
Qazwini isn't the only rather well known fellow leading this charge:
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), gave a talk Sunday at the American Moslem Society in the south end of Dearborn, one of the largest and oldest mosques in metro Detroit, about how Muslims can protect their religious rights in Dearborn public schools from materials or practices that conflict with their faith, such as using transgender pronouns.
Adding to the fun, there was outrage among the Muslim community in Hamtramck when the city flew a gay pride flag. It also likely didn't go over well when one proponent publicly compared the pride flag to a Muslim call to prayer.
Democrats are going to have a lot of fun with trying to keeping Islamists, Groomers, and Wokesters placated and kept in line.
