In 2023, a Detroit community banned the display of pride flags on any public flagpole. As reported by AP at the time, the Hamtramck City Council showed its intolerance of homosexual and transgender ideas, telling them that they didn't need to have the flag shown on government property to feel represented. 

As you can probably deduce without me telling you, this was not a Republican city council. Every seat was held by a Muslim: 

Some members of the all-Muslim council said the pride flag clashes with the beliefs of some members of their faith. Businesses and residents aren’t prohibited from displaying a pride flag on their own property.

“We want to respect the religious rights of our citizens,” Choudhury said.

It was the first alarm bell for the left... or at least, it should've been. Give believers in Islam enough power, and they will start pushing out the things they consider haram, and they will transform the area into Islamic territory complete with Islamic systemic structures and rules. 

Hamtramck isn't the only instance of this happening. The year before, in 2022, Dearborn, Michigan, saw Muslims organizing to push LGBTQ+ books out of schools and having success in removing certain books and restricting others. 

It's not surprising that this happened in leftist spaces. The fact that leftists believe that Islamic practitioners and Muslims fall under their protective umbrella is a mistake they make every day. Islamic practitioners are more than happy to help them make it. You can see high-profile Islamists like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed walking in Pride parades. It gives off the impression that they are, at the very least, just as friendly and accepting of the LGBTQ+ community as every other leftist. 

If they want Democrats to vote them into power, they have to play that game, but if anything has been made clear to us, it's that when Islamo-fascism gets the chance to force itself on an area, it will. I'm pretty sure that once Michigan becomes something of an Islamic stronghold, you're going to see how accepting and inclusive Islam actually is toward many of the left's other umbrella causes. 

There's a bird called the cuckoo, and its reproduction process is kind of heinous. A female will find the nest of a different species of bird and replace one of the female's eggs with its own. When that egg hatches, the cuckoo bird hatchling will push the other hatchlings or eggs out of the nest until it's the only one left. The mother of the other birds will then feed it until it grows up and leaves the nest, with the momma bird never knowing it was actually raising the beast that murdered her children. 

This is Islam and the American left. 

At this time, the American left is fostering the beast that will ultimately push them out and murder them — perhaps literally. We've seen how Islam reacts to the LGBTQ+ community members they find in their midst in countries where they're dominant. 

Should Islam continue to gain power in America, there will come a very sudden shift in the culture where Islamic practitioners will begin exercising their power over an area they've conquered. They'll no longer have any need to pretend they're friendly with these other causes, and they will begin pushing them out, legally at first, then violently if they need to. 

They aren't exactly shy about this. Islamic leadership has been telling the world they're doing this for years now. 

But this will bring the left to a fork in the road. Either they'll have to reject Islam and maintain their causes like "women's rights" and LGBTQ+ support, or they'll have to submit to Islamic ideals and allow the cuckoo bird to push out everything else. 

Which do I think they'll choose? Whichever one allows them to maintain power. I've said for years now that the left doesn't truly care about the causes they claim to. Everyone is as celebrated as they are useful. If Islam proves to be less useful, then you'll start to see a massive reversal in support that'll come pretty quickly. I can already tell you they'll start associating Muslims with "right-wing extremism" if that happens. 

If not, then Islam will continue to grow, the left will continue to submit, and we'll have something like a political version of the Crusades that will, from time to time, look like a real one. I hope I'm wrong, as always, but if you take things to their ultimate end, there's no other way this ends. Islam won't allow any alternative. 

So it's not a matter of "if," but a matter of "when."
