Imagine a Christian caucus did that.
A few days ago, I wrote about the launch of the Islamic Labour Party of Ireland whose constitution states that its leaders must be Muslim men. The post went viral on social media and people wondered how that was legally possible since it violated Ireland’s Equalities Act.
Yes, I replied, but who’s going to enforce it?
Now imagine a Colorado Christian legislative caucus was set up and announced that one of its criteria for interns was being Christian.
I don’t have to waste time and digital ink drawing the rest of the picture for you.
Here’s the reality though.
Iman Mohamad Jodeh, a ‘Palestinian’, became the first Muslim elected to the Colorado legislature in 2020, became majority co-whip, and then was selected by her party as a state senator. Together with Rep. Yara Zokaie, an Iranian DSA-linked politician, Jodeh co-founded MENASA, a Muslim Middle Eastern caucus. The MENASA Muslim caucus now offers an internship to those who “identify as a Muslim or as Middle Eastern, North African or South Asian.”
Identity politics is bad enough, and we’ve gotten used to racial allocations of jobs and college admissions, but specifically mentioning that applicants need to be members of a particular religion is a stunning disregard for discrimination laws.
Compare this to the painfully woke description of the Reform Movement’s radical Religious Action Center legislative assistant fellowship which says “we encourage applications from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds, including but not limited to People of Color, individuals with disabilities, those from marginalized socioeconomic backgrounds, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those at the intersection of these and other marginalized identities. No specific academic or Jewish background is required to be a legislative assistant, and applicants do not need to be affiliated with the Reform Movement.”
The Southern Baptist internship program is pretty clear that it’s seeking Christian interns, but it’s not a legislative caucus. This is a legislative caucus that is listing religion as a criteria. But we all know that separation of church and state is meant to be an iron wall while mosque and state are meant to cozy up together in a motel room.

There is a Black group in Congress….only Blacks. There is no White group disallowing other races.
There are Black companies which disallow Whites and are not sued.
muzzies group and do not allow non-muzzies (what non would want to be there? iick) But as Mr. Greenfield notes, Christians are not allowed to disallow non-Christians. Churches and church schools have been sued when they tried to be restrictive. When non-Christians, such as some of the alphabet group have sued when they were not hired as teachers, etc,.it’s an effort to force Christians to go against the Bible teachings and commands.
It’s a one way, long and very straight road leading to destruction of all freedoms if they can keep eliminating anyone they hate from having a life.

Islamic Labour Party of Ireland?
OK, stop right there. Full stop. No one not knowing why is beyond clueless and probably not salvageable.
Here is the unholy trinity which what is left of the West is faced with, to wit, Islam + Leftism + willful ignorance. Yes, a virtually perfect recipe for the eradication of the single most productive civilization of all time.
Happening now. You bet it is.
