There are plenty of #Muslim #LGBTQ groups in the US and Canada and MENA.Fatemeh Fakhraiereply to this convo with those @rdispatches links, @islamoyankee - opportunity! /cc @markos @fatemehfAziz PoonawallaOne way to assert identity is to engage liberals on their turf - thats why i started Muslims at Daily Kos http://dailykos.com/blog/muslims /cc @markosAziz Poonawalla@azizhp @fatemehf @markos straight up. so unless everyone in America denies they are bigoted, we can assume everyone is? & it's cool?Hussein Rashid@azizhp @markos @fatemehf i've written about welcoming mosques @rdispatches could try asking instead of assuming I'm a bigot.Hussein RashidI think, @fatemehf @islamoyankee, that unless we define ourselves, we leave ourselves open to definition by others /cc @markosAziz Poonawallaof course, @islamoyankee - but we can't expect liberals to self-educate if we are AWOL /cc @markos @fatemehf #Muslim4MarriageAziz Poonawalla@azizhp @markos @fatemehf for supporting free education and social safety net, so are we against it? bad logic dude.Hussein Rashid@azizhp @islamoyankee That doesn't give @markos the right to do it for us, furthering bigotry in the process.Fatemeh Fakhraie@azizhp @markos @fatemehf that doesn't mean you can categorize a group of people based on a stereotype. we also haven't got a platform…Hussein Rashidin defense of @markos, @islamoyankee @fatemehf - we haven't really articulated a coherent political identity for ourselves #Muslim4MarriageAziz Poonawalla@azizhp @fatemehf @markos i guess we're not civilized and mature enough to have our own voice. glad everyone agrees on that.Hussein Rashid@azizhp @fatemehf @markos what I really wish is that instead of peole speaking for us, they would, you know hear when @ispeakformyselfHussein Rashidthe real problem is that muslims are a political football, nothing more /cc @islamoyankee @fatemehf @markos #Muslim4MarriageAziz Poonawalla@azizhp @fatemehf @markos #Muslim4Marriage hell ya.
