Montgomery County, Maryland Councilmember Kristin Mink tells the county public school board @MCPS that Muslim families who seek the right to opt out of teachings on sexual morality that violate their religion are on the same side as white supremacists
Are Muslim parents the same as white supremacists if they don’t want their girls to be taught that they can become boys? ImageImageImage
That sound you hear is the shattering of the paradigm that says Muslims have to bargain away their religion in exchange for political acceptance by people who think Islam is the equivalent of white supremacy
An Arab parent, a West African imam, and an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian priest walk into a school board protest…

Here are some of Montgomery County councilmember Kristen Mink’s “white supremacists” at today’s rally Image
More video from today’s rally led by Muslim and Christian families outside the Montgomery County school board meeting.

Yesterday SCOTUS agreed to hear a case that could change the face of education in America. It would:

--give parents unprecedented access to school choice

--give private & religious schools (including Islamic schools) access to public funds

--break the public school monopoly🧵
The case is Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond. The state charter school commission granted a charter to a Catholic virtual school. The state supreme court held that violated the Establishment Clause as charter schools are public schools & hence "state actors."
The diocese appealed to the US Supreme Court. It argues charter schools do not become "state actors" merely because they contract with the state to perform a public function & that it violates the Free Exercise clause to contract with secular schools but not religious schools.

It’s hilarious that the owner of @RadioGenoa is losing his mind being identified as Louis Bopea, a Cambodian immigrant to France & National Front delegate. But I don’t believe in fighting disinformation with disinformation. Bopea doesn’t run it, Antonio Mastantuono does.🧵 Image
Image
I’m the guy who first identified Bopea as the owner of @RadioGenoa back in February. That was a mistake based on this post which erroneously identified the account’s owner as the owner of @Natio_1976. My contribution was to track down the owner of that account as Bopea.
Here’s the thread where I uncovered that @Natio_1976 was Bopea, & in fact he was. I did hedge my bets & say that he “seems” to be the owner of @RadioGenoa. That was based on Bopea’s own posts on his other accounts as well as the post I previously mentioned.

This characterizes the work of some children of ikhwan diaspora graduating from Western universities where postmodernism is the paradigm. Their postmodern post-Islamism is a dead end in that it offers no alternatives to what it critiques & is often freighted with baffling jargon.
They were preceded in this by their uncles at IIIT.
I made this 5 years ago, it’s a little dated but the point remains Image

Oklahoma isn’t “bringing the Bible back” to schools to be taught as the truth, as it once was, but as a “historical document” to understand “the role the Bible played in our nation’s history.”

It’s a purely secular move that supporters & detractors are pretending is religious.
This is a feature of the contemporary debate over gov’t establishment of religion, where conservatives purport to promote religion that is actually a secularized artifact reflecting a belief
once held to be reality itself but that is reframed as merely historically important.
This can be seen in the Louisiana bill to post the Ten Commandments in public schools. This was an initiative of a conservative Christian legislator but the bill frames the commandments as a purely of historical interest, not as true in themselves. nola.com/news/education…Image

In the wake of @almaghrib teacher Wisam Sharieff, reflect how institutional attitudes & cowardice allow abuse to continue.

Nick Pelletier tells how he was attacked for exposing child abuse at the Islamic Center of Irving while celebrity imams cowered. 🧵
When a religious authority abuses a child it's mandatory to ask if his institution enabled the abuser & how it needs to change. @IrvingMasjid fired Nick as it enabled & protected abusers like its imam, now ordered to pay $2.55 million for sexual misconduct.religionnews.com/2019/08/15/tex…
With a culture that fires whisteblowers and hires & protects abusers, is it a coincidence when a board member of the Islamic Center of Irving is convicted of sexual assault of a child? law.justia.com/cases/texas/fi…

This illustrates the shallowness, cultural poverty, & inferiority complex of this segment of Saudi society. Aside from the heresy, they debase themselves to imitate Anglo-Americans but have no connection to the Christian or Celtic pagan roots that give Halloween meaning.
Even if you don’t participate in Halloween (as Muslims shouldn’t), it still has meaning based in the harvest, death, & renewal which people outside the culture have no access to, as commercialized as it is. This highlights the superficiality & silliness of Saudis doing this.
Christmas is a similar phenomenon. In my hotel in Dubai during the season they organized something resembling a parade of carolers & I overheard one Emirati saying to another, “we do this because we’re moderate.” There’s an obsession to prove something, to be someone else.
