Would you ever say: This is why it's good to have more Christians in positions of power: it pressures them to represent not only their community, but all of society.
I just find it strange that this tweet, in support of Muslim politicians, is flanked by two tweets written about Christian politicians in a negative light.pic.twitter.com/z77UIhyLfw
Come on, Yas, you're smarter than this. There are over 20K more tweets, & almost every US politician I support is Xtian. My post is obviously about why electing Muslims to power is a way to keep them accountable. Spin it all you want, but that's what I'm saying here.
I expected you to be smarter than to suggest giving power to ppl we disagree w so that public opinion might sway them. So why not support Trump then? Why not trust that negativity from the public will surely force him to change his ways? Or does it only work for Muslims?
Not all communities are in a same place. It is undeniable that Muslims in the West, to say nothing about Muslims in the East, are in a much more socially conservative (euphemism for cultural backwardness) than Christians of West. There are paths towards progess not a total jump.
I think Ali’s comment holds for Christians in power too, especially now that they are coming to face that they must also represent not just their religious base and apathetic populous but people of all stripes if they want to continue to hold office.
Obviously his comment is directed specifically at a Muslim congresswoman, but it is certainly applicable to all faiths. I think it is also consistent to say this and still criticize other religious people for their actions/beliefs. He shouldn’t have to condemn all to condemn one.
I get so uncomfortable when people I follow on Twitter argue! It's like my parents divorce all over again!!! (Just kidding, carry on!) ; )
