I couldn't agree more with all the sentiments shared.

I was definitely voting, and definitely 3rd party, but I was on the fence as to who.

My dear brother came to our community to speak and I was blown away with his words and his passion. Because it's a faith based nonprofit politics were at a minimum. I even had the chance to speak privately with him - turns out we were both in MN at the same time (he probably heard me on the radio).

Fence sitting no longer. I voted Green and he's why.

بالله توفيق

Assalamu alaikum, brother Jalal why is there so much of an emphasis on social issues such as LGBTQ? Generally Muslim authorities allowed minorities to follow their own cultural practices under their rule, even when they were heinous practices, such as Sati in India. We are minorities living in a majority non Muslim land, so then why are we so focused on these issues at the expense of much more important issues? I haven’t listened to all of your interviews, have you ever interviewed someone about the effects of climate change and the link between our religion and caring for the environment? I haven’t heard you bring up universal healthcare, or more fair taxation policies which the Green Party advocates for. Yet you have repeatedly brought up these supposed negatives in pretty much everyone of your discussions on the Green Party. I’m in no advocating for LGTBQ & don’t want it taught in schools, but we have far more important issues to worry about
