Anti-Muslim Bigotry Directed at Mamdani

[lismore]

It's far less concerning than the Christian Nationalists alive today actively proclaiming that they are trying to take power for Christianity.

Hello! Why? Surely for an athiest both would be equally concerning? Why would living in a Christian Theocratic State be worse than living in an Islamic Theocratic State? Kind Regards.

Hello! What if what Mohammed said 15 centuries ago was along the lines of encouraging his followers to say anything people want to hear until they have political power then to use it to take power for Islam? Would that be concerning?

No, not really. We have laws still, a Second Amendment and they’re only like 2% of the population.

Where is this fear of encroaching Islamism coming from?

Interesting take. I agree that that seems to be a prerequisite for becoming a Trump supporter, but I'd be a bit concerned about getting a warning for leading with that.

I have complete faith in people to be able to spot humor - but feel free to report me if you have not already done so.

Christian Nationalists are actual people who have a stated goal of some sort of unconstitutional theocracy.

As far as I know, Mamdani has expressed no such desire for an Islamic theocracy.

We know not all Christians are Christian nationalists. I have no reason to believe any random Muslim is a 'Muslim nationalist'.

No.
FUNDAMENTALLY, God tells us he is in control...whether it's a secular, Christian or Islamic government.

Calm down and don't be so scared paranoid.

He's got it. It'll be fine.

Not fear, just curious as to the reasoning behind your viewpoint, it seems that it's Christian Nationalism=bad, Islamic Theocracy= blah. Would that be accurate? Kind Regards.

Hello! Just curious, how would your view fit in with Ezekiel 33 where God says he sends warnings of danger and to ignore a warning is your own liability.

Several of the cities mentioned in the bible, including one of the Seven Churches of the Revelation, were sacked by Turkish armies on Jihad. You can look into a History book as to the manner of horrific that was. And you can look at the number of Christians living there then and now.

God Bless

Thanks, I stand corrected. I was thinking nationally. Not really concerned about what goes on in NYC, as I don’t live there.

Both are bad but one is much more likely and more widely supported than the other, even from our national leaders. I’m not really losing sleep about either of them though. Either one would be severely restricted by the First Amendment and plainly unconstitutional.

That should help.

It's very old. I'm familiar with it, you're not. If you're interested in the cookie monster thing I just posted an explanation for it here.

Ha!

I suppose they may be honored by the association. And maybe he is also honored by the association. I wonder. Time will tell.

The what, prey tell, is "anti-communist bigotry" and how would it manifest?

His Jewish supporters seem to like him.

I was wondering when someone was going to push back on all the fear mongering with all authority is God Ordained.

I would think it's presumptuous on your part to think your warnings and not mine are those warnings the passage is referring to.

Several of the cities mentioned in the bible, including one of the Seven Churches of the Revelation, were sacked by Turkish armies on Jihad. You can look into a History book as to the manner of horrific that was. And you can look at the number of Christians living there then and now.

If something that "catastrophic" would happen, it'll be long after you are dead.
Me too.

Don't worry about it. Besides, if we treat them well, whose to say their grandchildren wouldn't treat ours well?

Surely Turkic, not Turkish?

Also, Christians armies have sacked cities mentioned in the Bible. While on crusades. Including Jerusalem and Antioch.

So, if that's the standard were meant to judge on, its pot meet kettle im afraid.

It would of course manifest as anyone calling Mamdani a communist, or a socialist for that matter, or even hinting at it. Anything that suggested he wasn’t as American as apple pie in his political stance. It would be almost as bad as deadnaming the person.

That is neither bigotry nor aimed at communists.

the question is - does he agree with his home countries stance on LGBTQ?

Agreeing with those laws is more of a GOP thing.

pssst... we're talking about the new Mayor of NYC - not the GOP or Trump - those boogey men aren't part of the conversation.

I am pretty sure you don't get to decide what people in this threat are talking about.

But the actual topic of the threat, going by the OP, are the attacks of right wing figures on Mamdani.
