[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Muslim community in Dearborn is largely made up of Lebanese and Palestinian folks who are ULTRA conservative from a social standpoint. Look at what happened a few years back from the book banning in libraries. Watch some of the hearings and you’ll want to wash your eyes out.

The Middle Eastern community of SE MI is not a monolith, though.[/quote]

So, in other words, they would never support a woman as president. [/quote]

As the previous poster said, the Middle Eastern community of SE Michigan is not a monolith. But, the community in Dearborn, which this thread is about, is fairly liberal. The current mayor is Abdullah Hammoud, who is of Shia Muslim Lebanese heritage. He is a progressive Democrat and a Bernie Sanders supporter. He supports LGBT rights and would have no problem voting for a woman. He refused to meet with Trump and would not endorse Harris. His issue with Harris is her support for the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, not her gender.

I am from there too. I don't think it is one thing.  The girls in my high school were married at 17 or 18. They were not allowed to away to college so they commute to UofM Dearborn. The men are quite controlling. I cannot picture them voting for a woman president ever.[/quote]
