> My current candidate is promising Islam in public schools and legalization of discrimination based on gender and race. This guy a more of a "centrist" in democratic party. I would love to see sources on these assertions of promising "Islam in public schools" and that this constitutes a centrist position in the democratic party. I'm guessing you're just complaining about having prayer rooms in schools that students may use? Not, like, actually teaching kids to be Muslims.

Yes - I'd very much like to know more about this. From the other side of the pond I find it bemusing to hear that there's anyone remotely "far left" in mainstream US politics and the gp's comment is lacking in sufficient detail for me to form any kind of judgement about.

> having prayer rooms in schools that students may use Which is exactly same as Islam in schools. Why should a public school provide "prayer rooms" which is basically a euphemism for Islam rooms. Today it will be prayer rooms tomorrow it will be halal only meat in cafes. This is a tyranny of minority. I am sorry, I do not see any difference. > Not, like, actually teaching kids to be Muslims. That would be the logical next step after the prayer rooms.

  > Which is exactly same as Islam in schools. This is silly. My office in Google Munich has a meditation room used mostly -- though not exclusively -- by Muslims to pray. Is Google trying to get all its employees to be Muslim now? A prayer/meditation room that's open to both religious and comparable non-religious uses is a modest and reasonable accommodation that doesn't warrant hysterics over public schools "teaching Islam".

    That is how colonization works. No one else asked for it, your employer provides it for a specific religion and in order to not sound partisan they give it a generic name. After they will ask for Halal food. (For a food to be halal it should be certified by certain halal board (which asks for money of course) and the meat must be processed by a muslim (which is religion based hiring)) If your employer providing halal food, it basically is forcing someone down the supply line to hire based on religion. Slippery slope.

      Given your anti-muslim stance, you don't strike me as the kind of person who gives a damn about "religion-based hiring", so let's not pretend you do.

  So it's not even their own campaign, it's what some other people are saying? Seriously, that's your source? You said the candidate was "promising Islam in schools", but this is nothing like that. If this is all you have, then your original statement was a lie. This honestly kind of looks like a parody image, even. Can't you find anything actually substantive to back up what you said?

  Are you seriously falling for this kind of propaganda work? Americans and their politics, I swear…
