Pride flag ban sparks accusations of betrayal in tiny Michigan

This city of 28,000 was once so Polish it was dubbed “Little Warsaw.” But in recent decades, an influx of immigrants gave Hamtramck new character. Bengali and Arabic joined English on signs at City Hall. Yemeni and Bangladeshi mosques, restaurants and shops proliferated. And last year, a Muslim who emigrated from Yemen as a teenager became mayor — the city’s first leader in nearly a century with no Polish roots — alongside what is believed to be the nation’s only all-Muslim city council…

We also (sent) Lut: he said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? "For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." - Holy Quran 7:80-81

"Of all the creatures in the world will ye approach males". "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" - Holy Quran 26:165-166

On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous but (their duty) is to remind them that they may (learn to) fear Allah. - Holy Quran 6:69

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). - Holy Quran 87:9

Yeah what more can you expect from a city council that looks like this. If they were all white men Im sure they would trolled all over internet for having a council that looks like came straight from the Jim Crow era. They could at least have one Muslim woman to save face, a little

That first photo is quite peculiar. If not for the clouds, I could have sworn it was from Algeria or Tunisia. But that's been the nature of the US from the start, i.e. to be re-imagined and refashioned by the latest immigrant group. It is what it is.

Hamtramck the home of the greatest 12 yo baseball player in little league history.

Just a point of reference

[quote]Confrontation in Hamtramck has been without violence, but no less contentious. At the June meeting when the council voted to remove all flags, a lesbian couple went before the council to express opposition to the ban, then embraced in a dramatic kiss, triggering a wave of discomfort in the audience.

LOL

R10, he only reacted that way because of the homophobia that British Christians brought to his home/ancestral home in the Indian subcontinent. That's the party line on Planet Queer, at any rate.

R12 was in response to R11. Apologies to Mayor Ghalib.

She is lucky they didn't gang rape her. That's the preferred method of teaching kāfir women a lesson.

Maybe the lady now understands this town isn't what she grew up in.
