> I saw that some small businesses in Texas are facing organized activism from conservative Islamic groups, who are threatening them with sustained protests if they don’t remove products that don’t fit their religious practice (like alcohol)
You have any sources for this?
- SilverElfin 1y agoHere’s one, but there are others, and you can find videos on social media https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15078883/Sharia-patrols-Texas-alcohol-pork-ban.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15078883/Sharia-pat... The people doing this are posting videos of them harassing store owners on TikTok, to encourage others who follow them to do the same. In some cases they’re targeting Muslim-owned stores for not being Islamic enough, and in other cases they’re just targeting stores that are in “their neighborhoods”. Either way, they are trying to make it so that their business drops so that they’re forced to comply or so they give up and sell (to an Islamic buyer for cheap). Note that this is part of a larger playbook of creating separate Islamic societies that has been see in other countries previously (like England, India, etc).
