The Ugly History of Dual-Loyalty Charges Ilhan Omar recently deployed an accusation that’s been used against religious minorities for years.
Interesting article, showing how treating Muslims as non-loyal to a country is the same bullshit already done against Catholics, Jews and other religions in USA.
In other words, your use of the church is aimed towards community-oriented or community-building activities instead of proselytizing. I can get behind that.
My mom likes to go to church because she’s a hard-core catholic, for which I roll my eyes. But then she has met people in it who genuinely care for her, and that’s the community part I can support.
The rest of it, the fear mongering, the anti- this or anti- that, can go straight to hell.
