I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity. They shouldn’t be surprised when an all Muslim majority city council starts to act on their belief system and enact ordinances that run against the more socially liberal citizens.
I’ve never understood why Muslims and Christians seem to dislike each other when they both agree we should all have to live under religious law.
In general, Muslims don’t. Only the extremely conservative ones do.
Many religions have conservative factions that think that their religious laws should also be general laws.
Muslim religious law, just like Jewish religious law, only applies to people of their faith. For most people in their faith, the religious law is only applied in religious settings. It is independent of non-religious law because both religions realize that not everyone belongs to their faith. It’s only when you get zealots that you get the idea that everyone has to follow the religious laws.
It’s only Christianity that tries to force non-Christians to live by Christian rules, whether it’s businesses closed on the Christian Sabbath (something that’s waned in the past 50 years, but I can recall it being hard to find stores open on Sunday in the 1980s), laws about women’s reproduction rights (outside of extremists, Judaism is pro-abortion) as well as gender and sexuality, and protests over absurd things like the words “happy holidays.”
I’ve yet to see Jewish people protesting that bacon is sold at Kroger or Muslim people demanding that they’re wished Eid Mubarak.
As somebody who grew up in a Muslim country, you’re flat out wrong.
The US is not a Muslim country. I’m not talking about Muslims in a Muslim country or Jews in Israel. I’m talking about the US, which this article is about.
