In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.
They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.
This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

ha-ha-ha.
But they won’t learn, will they?
Silly liberals.
She noted that a white, Christian-majority city council in 2005 created an ordinance to allow the Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast from the city’s mosques five times daily. It did so over objections of white city residents, and Majewski said she didn’t see the same reciprocity with roles reversed.
Duh.
Gays being thrown of of buildings in Muslim countries is OK but banning Pride flags on city buildings is intolerable?
notice how the article tries to put some of the blame on Republicans. You know, the ones who tried to warn them that something like this would happen.

“… watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags …”
Why would that “dismay” anyone?
ALL flags other than that of the United States and the State of Michigan should be banned from city and state-owned buildings.
What a bunch of imbeciles.

I REALLY can’t eat this much popcorn…
Perversion flags not allowed. What a shame!
careful what you wish for, bitches!
people w/ no sense of human nature & history should never be put in charge as so much as a walk around the block
(when we were kids we used to call them ‘airheads’ … many we knew as ‘teachers’ & ‘city councilors’)
Allahu snackbar!
