The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.

You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.

    Thanks for the perspective. It’s interesting that the disgusting excuses still exist alongside the “consummation never happened” and “they got the ages all wrong here” excuses. Zealots be zealoting in every religion.

      It’s a bit weird in Islam. So some important context first.

      Basically all of Islam’s rules/laws and stories come from two sources: the Quran and Hadith. You probably already know of the Quran but it’s what they believe to be God’s words verbatim. Hadith, on the other hand, is basically everything the prophet said or did, as recorded by different people.

      The Quran was compiled almost immediately after Muhammed died. But Hadith was compiled 2 centuries after that.

      To get to the more positive conclusions, you would need to deny a very specific Hadith narrated by Aisha herself. But we only know that she said that because her nephew said so to his students, who then said so to others… So it’s a matter of the verifiability of that chain of trust. But if you believe that Hadith to be false, it would cast doubt on the rest of Hadith and people are not a fan of that idea.

      So instead, most Muslims just accept that he’s a pedophile but get offended when you call him a pedophile.
