"First lady’s handshake with conservative Indonesian Muslim raises eyebrows"

So many levels of irony here! Obama pays homage to his fellow Muslims, but then screws it up. Well, since Islam allows wife-beating, maybe Michelle will get a good shellacking tonight.

Armstrongists and others wishing to challenge me may contact me on TruthSocial at @LTWalker03 Though sometimes — actually often — covered up in outreach, original Armstrongist doctrine prohibits members from politics (including voting), military service, and personally bearing arms “for use against humans.” Below is a biblical counter to this. Basic OT Law stands: Deut 4:1-2; 12:32-ch13; 30:1-10 - No adding to or taking from the Law, to which the New Covenant (“circumcision of the heart”) is identical.

However, as a result they will tend to be liberal influences in a host society, even though they themselves would actually identify more with conservatives. They back every identifiable minority to protect their own situation, sometimes play themselves as “POC,” and oppose nationalist movements because they fear such could lead to them being persecuted.  As a result, White majorities and Western nationalists can’t help but see the distinct pattern of them being on the other side. This is increased by seeming special protections for that demographic. Yada-yada-yada, at some level, the Jewish population gets put ...
