While some Muslims, like American congresswoman Ilhan Omar, are ardent advocates for LGBTQIA rights, others are not. Pride flags are no longer permitted to fly on council property, according to the Muslim-majority City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, which was elected by the liberal neighbourhood.

The liberal voters were shocked because they had believed that the Council would adopt the liberal stance that had helped them win office.Republicans and Christian conservatives who despise Islam backed this ban. With the City Council, they came up with a shared cause. The adage the enemy of my enemy is my friend is brought to light by LGBTQIA rights.
Avowed feminists and prominent liberals like J.K. Rowling disguises their opposition to trans rights as protecting women’s rights. They contend that if trans women are accepted as women, women’s identity, rights, and safety are compromised. She also wants trans women to be safe at the same time. Because of the witchcraft themes in her Harry Potter books, conservative Christians and Muslims dislike Rowling. These religious Orthodoxies also don’t think highly of women or their rights.
Denying transgender rights is a common goal among groups with opposing ideologies. The idea of tolerance is given fresh subtlety by this fusion of common perceptions. As a result, disadvantaged communities are further marginalized. Using a quote from Rowling, conservative senator James Langford of Oklahoma defeated the Equality Act. The Civil Rights Act would have been changed to include sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classifications under the Act. Those who disagree with trans and trans rights activists are pursued, threatened, and cancelled in parallel. They employ the same discriminatory strategies and mindsets that they oppose.

One’s morality and behavior should be reviewed if they coincide with, mirror, or support those whose fundamental ideologies are in opposition to their own. According to a study of 936 American Indians conducted in September 2020 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 72 percent of registered Indian American voters plan to vote for Biden. According to the survey, Indian Americans avoid identifying with the Republican Party because they believe the party is intolerant of minorities and excessively influenced by Christian evangelicalism.
Over 1200 Indians were polled again by the organization during that time, and they discovered that nearly half of all Indian Americans approve of Modi’s performance as prime minister. Furthermore, ‘Indian Americans’ have more liberal political views on US-related issues and more conservative views on Indian-related topics. Indian-Americans are a minority in the US, but they thrive there because of liberal ideas. However, under Modi, they show little care for the condition of minorities and aggressively promote anti-minority sentiments in India.
In the end, most liberals secretly harbor some conservatism. Every time they feel threatened, it manifests. It’s interesting that those times are characterized as nurturing and protecting. Conservatives either follow one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else, or they veer off course when it serves their interests. Would the world be a better place if both self-actualize to recognize their hypocritical cores?
