I don’t like the Republican Party, as it has become a safe haven for bigots and racists for a while now. But something has to be said for the role of being a Conservative in Islam. Many of the things we try to uphold in our religious societies are by their very nature conservative. Unfortunately, either for sinister reasons or otherwise, being a conservative is now being linked to being anti-Islam and racism.
So that has pushed many people to the left. To me this is sad, and it’s an example of something saying very nice things to make you do very bad things (sounds familiar, no?). For example, as crazy as the republicans have been, to my knowledge they’ve never pushed an agenda that for example would expose or even encourage my children to sin. Most of their inflammatory actions came in the form of politics and even xenophobia- but that’s nothing new for Muslims.
Yet, the “good side” are the ones that promote things that are clearly and socially abhorrent. I mean of the many stories God chose to reiterate and confirm from the New Testament/Torat, the story of Lut/Lot pbuh is one of the most fleshed out. Yet, just because this side of the secular world is nice to us, and puts us in commercials, we silently or even vocally agree to their agenda.
It’s ironic that the side we’re supposed to “dislike” are more likely to want the same type of society we as Muslims are ordered to create, whereas our “allies” consistently remind others how barbaric our Islamic societies, and similarly conservative societies, are.
I just want to know why. Are politics and people (facetiously - because we all know what they think of religion, especially ours) being nice to us worth slowly supporting a world that will eventually have us make a choice between being an actual submissive Muslim vs a simple cultural mascot?
No hate, just knowledge and discussion.
Thank you. Salaam.
