I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity. They shouldn’t be surprised when an all Muslim majority city council starts to act on their belief system and enact ordinances that run against the more socially liberal citizens.

    Yes. Tolerance is the one thing required in a diverse culture. Unfortunately conservative religion is not about tolerance. Ironic in Christianity because tolerance and compassion is one of the basic teachings as far a I know.

      Yep, that’s why “seperation of church and state” is so important. But it don’t mean much if it’s just on paper and not put into practice unfortunately.
