For the first time, the city of Richmond in Virginia “has proclaimed July as Muslim American Heritage Month.” Richmond, Virginia’s Democrat Mayor Levar Stoney stated in his speech:
Today, for the first time in Richmond’s and the Commonwealth’s history, I, Mayor Levar M. Stoney, am declaring July as Muslim American Heritage Month in Richmond….I ask each of you—every single Richmond resident—to humble yourselves and try to better understand and appreciate the rich histories, cultures, and shared principles of Muslim Americans. We should be working each day to show this kind of respect and compassion to one another.
This is yet another case of a Leftist coddling Muslims above any other religion, abetting the inherent supremacist tendencies of normative Islam.
Christianity, Judaism, Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism — in fact, every religion — should be demanding the same respect and recognition from Mayor Stoney.
