A must-read: Muslim Trump voter unloads on Democrats and radical Islam
By Ed Straker
For a long time I've been critical of the Muslim community, many of whom
seem to revel in victimhood status even when it's clear that they are not
the victims of anything. Meanwhile, a substantial number of their
coreligionists are slaughtering people by the thousands, including, from
time to time, Americans, and they don't seem to have any public opinions
about that.
So nothing could be more surprising to me to see Asra Q. Nomani, a Muslim
who penned an op-ed in the Washington Post announcing that not only did she
vote for Trump, but she has a deep dislike for Hillary and, yes, wait for it
... radical Islam!
I – a 51-year-old, a Muslim, an immigrant woman "of color" – am one of
those silent voters for Donald Trump. And I'm not a "bigot," "racist," "
chauvinist" or "white supremacist," as Trump voters are being called, nor
part of some "whitelash."
I have been opposed to the decision by President Obama and the
Democratic Party to tap dance around the "Islam" in Islamic State.
... the issue that most worries me as a human being on this earth:
extremist Islam of the kind that has spilled blood from the hallways of the
Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai to the dance floor of the Pulse nightclub in
Orlando, Fla.
The revelations of multimillion-dollar donations to the Clinton
Foundation from Qatar and Saudi Arabia [which Wikileaks emails claimed are
funders of ISIS] killed my support for Clinton.
I have absolutely no fears about being a Muslim in a "Trump America."
The checks and balances in America and our rich history of social justice
and civil rights will never allow the fear-mongering that has been attached
to candidate Trump's rhetoric to come to fruition.
What worried me the most were my concerns about the influence of
theocratic Muslim dictatorships, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, in a
Hillary Clinton America. These dictatorships are no shining examples of
progressive society with their failure to offer fundamental human rights and
pathways to citizenship to immigrants from India, refugees from Syria and
the entire class of de facto slaves that live in those dictatorships.
We have to stand up with moral courage against not just hate against
Muslims, but hate by Muslims[.]
Nomani condemned radical Islam and the Democrats' refusal to fight it. Can
you imagine if most American Muslims spoke this way publicly?
Can you imagine if even some American Muslims spoke this way publicly,
instead of blaming people who want to scrutinize fundamentalists for our own
safety?
Nomani's op-ed piece, while unprecedented, highlights the continuing moral
crisis in the Muslim community by virtue of the near uniqueness of her
perspective.
