First U.S. City With Muslim Majority

I'm sure the authoritarian leftists have no problem with the enactment of authoritarian religious law that restricts people's ability to conduct their lives, but when I read that they are already flexing their Islamist muscle by outlawing alcohol within 500 feet of a mosque, that sure doesn't look like much of a separation of religion and politics to me.

Of course, any application of principle goes right out the window when one's politics are little more than a conditioned response.

*sigh*
Post a link so that I can tell you why you're wrong.
 
So you are calling for a global jihad against Muslims? That is exactly what ISIS wants. They must know your kind well.

I would estimate that Renae is calling for a global Jihad against Muslims to the same degree that you are calling for the decapitation of all infidels.

LOL There is no end to the gullibility of bigots I guess. That story is FALSE. Why were you so quick to believe it?

It was in the article that is the subject of this thread.

But feel free to continue to see only what you want to see if you prefer.

Not really commenting on the OP as its of no real interest to me. But I've got to ask ya....what do whites have to do with this subject? Is being a Muslim a race to you? Or do you not know the difference between religion and race? Or do you think all Muslims are of a race other than white? Do you think it might be possible to be white and a Muslim? Or do you just like pulling out the race card every single chance you think it matters?

Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Once again, you fail to bring any point worth addressing.

How?

Point is you're so worried about Muslims, but when has a Muslim lawmaker, in the history of the United States ever passed a law that discriminated against you.

Contrast that with the more extreme wing of the Republican Party who at this very moment, actively defending and proposing new laws to actively discriminate against YOU...

Is that not of interest to you?

Then what exactly IS she saying?
 
Have you ever read about anti-Irish, anti-Italian sentiment in the US?

Deflection, changing the subject. Name the Irish laws passed that are incompatible with the Constitution.
 
Who cares?

The same was said when certain parts of NYC or Chicago became predominantly Irish, Italian, etc.

Aye, but us wee Irish lads don't scream our prayers from the rooftops.

The article doesn't say what you claim. One business owner complained you can't get a liquor license within 500' of the mosque.
 
Christians have been shoving their religion into the law for the entire history of this nation. Only difference is that they've been successful, where Muslims never have been. (can't wait for you to post a "sharia law takes over city in ___" right-wing blog, though)

Exactly, we are a country founded on Christianity. I'm glad to hear a liberal finally admit that!

Sharia Law is already a problem in the U.K., particularly in divorce cases where men are often awarded sole custody of the children. The issue of Sharia Law shows that muslims don't generally assimilate into the new countries they are going to. Instead they want a separate legal system from the one that everyone else uses.

Britain must ban sharia 'kangaroo courts', say activists | Reuters
 
Have you ever read about anti-Irish, anti-Italian sentiment in the US?

The Irish were treated worse than the blacks, and did jobs that the black would not do.

We need reparations! :mrgreen:

Why do you think that alcohol is not sold on Sundays, and it is not because of Muslims.

It must happen hundreds of times a day here, man. A person has to commit themselves to defending anything and everything associated with the political-religious ideology called Islam or be called names.
 
HAMTRAMCK, MICH. — Karen Majewski was in such high demand in her vintage shop on a recent Saturday afternoon that a store employee threw up her hands when yet another visitor came in to chat. Everyone wanted to talk to the mayor about the big political news.

Earlier this month, the blue-collar city that has been home to Polish Catholic immigrants and their descendents for more than a century became what demographers think is the first jurisdiction in the nation to elect a majority-Muslim council.

It’s the second tipping for Hamtramck (pronounced Ham-tram-ik), which in 2013 earned the distinction of becoming what appears to be the first majority-Muslim city in the United States following the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Yemen, Bangladesh and Bosnia over a decade...

In the first majority-Muslim U.S. city, residents tense about its future

The Muslim call to prayer rings out on rooftops 5 times a day in this Michigan city. Way to go ALCU, football teams can't pray before games and all public displays of crucifixes must be removed but the call to allah blares out 5 times a day in the USA.

When I lived in Kenitra Morocco at the USNTC there, the Muslim call to prayer (Allah Akbar) sounded at dawn, mid morning, noon, evening and night.

They are certainly a very religious people praying 5 times per day.

The Bible says twice each day at morning and night. Although Catholic monks and nuns pray much more often.

I'm glad there is an American city with a majority of Muslims. Maybe it will become another mecca.

People are happiest when they can live together, like in Israel.
 
Why do you think that alcohol is not sold on Sundays, and it is not because of Muslims.

Yeah I'm guessing that's a city zoning law that has been in place for far, far longer than those scaaaary Muslims' presence. Can't get a liquor license within 500 feet of a church, but when a mosque goes up suddenly that law is a problem.
 
The article doesn't say what you claim. One business owner complained you can't get a liquor license within 500' of the mosque.

A business owner tried to get a liquor licence and couldn't because of Islam.

I stand for the separation of religion and politics, but do feel free to oppose it if it makes you feel better.
 
Looks like it only took 6 posts for somebody to pull out the racist card.

What race is Islam, again? I keep forgetting.

Mostly Arab.

However the Arab conquest has spread the belief system to Persia (Aryan), Pakistan (Aryan), Indonesia (Pacific Islanders), and Sub Saharan Africa (black) as well.
 
It's sad to see the U.S. cycle through this immigration hysteria crap again for like the 20th time in the past century. Maybe Mexicans will get a break now that the focus is Syrians. After all people can't seem to focus on more than one issue at a time.

Learn from your mistakes. You always end up freaking out over nothing. The fact that you still have a sounding board to complain about how your white privilege is being threatened shows that it isn't, and that your freedoms are working just fine.

There are Christian Protestant cities and counties in the USA that still follow Prohibition as well. These are called "dry."

You probably did not know that.

You can google it.

and I don't support that, either.

I am myself calling for the confiscation of all Qurans and their burning and the banning of any printing of any new ones.

The 72 virgins notion that falls from it is enabling murder all across the globe.

But that is not the fault of the Muslims themselves. They have simply been brainwashed.
 
Do most posters find Muslim run countries attractive? Well, maybe some people here don't either and they have every right to say so concerning them governing parts of our country, even under our own Constitution. We all know that not everyone interprets our Constitution the exact same way. It's a cultural thing, don't be so sensitive when someone isn't thrilled to have the call to prayer broadcast over the city speakers or if you may be looked at as a female with disdain for not wearing a hijab.

As I have tried to point out in a separate reply, Islam transcends many races. And there are even converts too.

Arab, Aryan, Pacific Islander, and black (African) are all races with major Muslim populations.

I don't believe in that. I simply want the ability to oppose the ideology involved without being called names by those who have been conditioned to do so.

It's like having to fight a war on two different fronts. There are the Islamist who want to return the world to the dark ages and there are the so-called "progressives" who protect them at ever turn by attempting to create a political climate where any criticism is drowned out by a chorus of abuse.
