Today, an account that is identified as “Trans Muslims” showed up accidentally on my feed, and it left me wondering. I was like” Interesting…🤔”.
In chaotic times like we live today, where random haters/competitors/attention seekers/jobless reporters/hungry attorneys are actively fishing for a misspoken word, targeting platforms, or going after your sustenance, it’s very unlikely someone can stay sincere and truthful to their honest, innocent thoughts, where every word is a mistake. Every term is anti-something.
And as individuals, with platforms, no matter how big or small our networks, it’s almost impossible to persuade random folks, followers, coworkers, customers, neighbors, or acquaintances that you, as a practicing Muslim, and your beliefs have nothing to do with hating or disrespecting or being unjust or unkind to anyone.
And to be honest, I really have witnessed local people from the Republican Party who were sued until some filed for bankruptcy, only for their fierce stances against communities they publicly opposed by all means.
Not sure how “progressive Muslims” would combine the mixed identities/terms together, and how they view public safety in terms of transmitting lethal diseases to communities and individuals who are never interested in being exposed to explicit content in school curricula, over normalizing homosexuality in every event, blurring identities through overly exposing youngsters to culturally non-relevant content? How do they manage to view the safety of public speech and democracy when it comes to community partners who disagree with them, peacefully but publicly?
By silencing one another, people have become the bullies we once complained about!
I’m encouraged to ask these questions now after observing news about lawsuits against the current government adminstration that’s aiming to defund sexual education in schools.
As coexisting community partners and being a minority as well, many Muslims thought, “We warned you…”🤷🏻♀️
Just a quick question: why can't sex education money go to feed the kids, and to house the homeless? Or fund the school district's foundational resources?
Many school districts have existing and emerging lawsuits against them, they are short-staffed, and they always ask for volunteers. Many districts turned all district communications to be paperless as they’re running out of funds, and the staff pay rates are slightly above state wage rates.
Maybe, you probably would agree with me that the Liberal West is pro homosexuality, and it won’t be a good idea to get caught saying something that seems “hateful. Maybe👀”
But remember, people untangling their truths and voicing concerns is not hateful. Silencing them with labels, legal liability issues, and stalking their lives and social networks is.
As a Muslim, I have witnessed Bi-Partisan hate, Bi-Partisan animosity, and Bi-Partisan greed.
So, I personally don’t care if a whatever Muslim wins whichever seat.
All I’m trying to say is that the legal foundation and robust legislation behind how some minorities are getting more favorability over other suffering minorities, and how some minorities are sought after like a winning card in every campaign effort, is really deterring for practicing /conservative Muslims seeking leadership roles in Liberal areas.
There’s NO WAY for a real practicing Muslim to make it to the office unless they earn some legitimacy from certain groups.
And it’s only the community that would pay for this “temporary” legitimacy.
Thought you might like what this young Imam had to say about how we, as Muslims, in pursuit of status and respect in the public eye, we tend to compromise our own values by our own hands.
Being overly trusty and never questioning what has been shoved down our throats.
May we be inspired to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, yet pleasing to God.
And the unpopular truth is, and has always been pleasing to God!
