What poll shows 45% of Michigan voters wouldn’t vote for a Muslim and why is it called “gross”?
Welcome to Politics by Faith, is where we take the news of the day and we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every single day. They keep coming. But Ecclesiastes says there's nothing new under the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story. And at the end of this episode today, we will understand that it's okay to have discernment. Story of the day. Poll came out. Forty five percent of Michigan voters say they will not vote for a Muslim. What's just one of the girls at CNN, one of the women, I forget her name. I forget name. But she she said it's gross. She said this is gross. The fact that forty five percent of Michigan voters refuse to vote for a Muslim, that's so gross.
I can't believe the racism from people in Michigan. Uh, what really happened here? So first question here is, where are your allegiances? Claire Valdez is uh if you watch JD Vance's midterm convention speech, he mentioned her. He didn't mention her name, but he said, Oh, this is a woman run for Congress. She's gonna win. She's representing, she's gonna represent Queens. Queens is like 90% Democrat. All right. So she won the primary against a longtime Democrat there. So she's gonna be the new. um congresswoman from Queens, and she wrote this on Twitter back On the fourth of July. She said freedom is only possible when we have a condition, when we have conditions for the good life, healthcare, housing, education, dignity on the job.
But the system is rigged in our planet poisoned by billionaires, bosses, and war profiteers. This Fourth of July, we recommit ourselves to remaking it the country.
How does the host question voters’ allegiances when a Muslim runs for Senate in Michigan?
To fight for liberation from Palestine to Puerto Rico for a Green New Deal, for the world we deserve. And JD Vance just thought that was a weird It was all weird to say on the fourth of July. Like it's the fourth of the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of America and you're talking about fighting for Palestine and Puerto Rico? Weird. Okay, so that's fourth of July. The same Claire Valdez, just a couple of days ago, she said two hundred and fifteen years ago, Mexicans fought an empire that demanded our land and our labor and we won. She wrote this on Mexican Independence Day. We we we made up um Cinco de Mayo. That's not they don't really celebrate that in Mexico. They have their own Independence Day. It's like September 17th or something like that.
So here she is talking about how Mexicans fought an empire. That demanded our land and our labor and we won. She's talking about Mexicans. Mexico, Mexico, she's Mexican. We we won. I'll carry that fight with me to Congress as New York's first Mexican American representative. Just to be clear our Congress, she's not running for running for our Congress. And I'm strengthened not just by Mexico's history, but its present. Last month I met comrades in Morena, who are standing up to the empires and corporations that have always taken from us and building a government for the working class. Viva la Independencia, viva Mexico. So on our Fourth of July, our our Independence Day, she writes about Palestine and Puerto Rico.
On Mexico's Independence Day, she celebrates my people. And our land and our labor and how we won and how great Mexico is. So you see you get like oh you see you see the allegiance question. We we have a problem here with where are your allegiances? That that's where I Get that question. Now, to go back to Michigan. Where are the allegiances of Al Said? We did an episode a couple weeks back. He was doing an interview and he talked about I I I remember I did this episode about a tell. This was a tell. He referred to Egypt as back home. He said, Oh yeah, no, the weddings back home are are b big and extravagant and and and beautiful. I love I love the weddings back home. He wasn't talking about Detroit. Talking about Egypt, back home.
What are the differences between Muslim and Christian values that affect voting decisions?
Back home to him. Egypt. So we have this future congresswoman talking about We as Mexicans. So again, where are your allegiances? Now that's a national allegiance. And and El Said talking about back home with Egypt, that's a national allegiance.
