Does that candidate understand that Islam is against many of the (far) leftist agendas that they're trying to push? Source: I'm Muslim.
- KorematsuFred 6y agoYes, there are certain contradictions between teachings of Islam (misogyny, homophobia, etc.) that might at eventual conflict with the left wing values, I do not how that will play out in future, I guess the stronger faction would win.
- TulliusCicero 6y agoBoth of the major parties in the US have this issue. They're big tent parties, and the various factions often have conflicting values. It's probably true that, broadly speaking, Muslims tend to be more socially conservative than other Democrats. But then again, there was a similar issue with black voters and gay rights; black Democrats were less supportive than white Democrats, despite black people voting for Democrats far more than white people, on average.
- apta 6y agoIslam is not mysogynistic nor homophobic. Those terms are meaningless labels used to ostracize, and are not conducive to proper discussion.
