A real "leopards ate my face" moment.

This is why it's so easy for religious extremists to take over governments. Moderates will be inclusive and let diverse groups participate but religious people don't care about logical arguments or including people outside their religion.

Here you have liberals who have idolized performative inclusivity for it's own sake. They basically believe it's morally superior to push a minority group into power. It's like the definition of surprised Pikachu face.

Man, it's almost like importing a bunch of religious extremists that make American Conservatives look like hippies is a BAD idea?
Just wait til they find out upwards of 80% of Mexicans are Catholics.

It's honestly so frustrating how in denial about Muslims western liberals seem to be. How does this come as a surprise? Like as far as I know most, if not all, of the countries where homosexuality is illegal are Muslim majority countries.

"We aren’t in the business of excluding people from our society and I’m not going to exclude socially conservative Muslims – they have a place at the table just like everyone else,” she said. “However, they cannot, and will not, shove another community out of the way.”

These people are fucking delusional, they think they can use reason. I have lived in a religious conservative environment. These cultists are vicious. Of course it's not their problem, they will say they tried their best to avoid it to happen and gay people will be left alone to fend for themselves. As usual
