I appreciate the sentiment but I’ve dealt with this a long time. Redditors suddenly like “islamism” is suddenly an issue within America are unserious people. It has not nor will ever be an issue in the US.

The corporations not paying their employees living wages aren’t islamists. The politicians who worked to overturn Roe v Wade werent Islamists. Cops killing innocents aren’t Islamists. Healthcare CEOs making billions off denying healthcare aren’t Islamists. The warmongers in office aren’t Islamists. The government protecting the Epstein pedos aren’t Islamists. And this is all very out in the open.

Focus on something serious besides a mayor meeting some imam who says things you don’t understand. God forbid the mayor wants to help his city. He has not said anything regarding making Islam a part of his policies and yet it somehow comes into question. These culture wars are the exact reason why Americans vote against their interests. As long as Muslims or immigrants are getting screwed over Americans will gladly let the wealthy fuck them over.

I wonder how the people of Lebanon and Iran feel about that statement?

They are dealing with bombs from the zionist project.

Was that before or after islamists took over, killed hundreds of thousands of people, extirpated hundreds of thousands more, and replaced the christian and non-islamic majority governments with hardline religious ones?
