How are they surprised. Elect a Muslim majority to your city council and first they do is start banning things based on their religion. No different then the GOP and their christian agenda.

Makes you wonder why republicans hate Muslims so much. Their priorities are so much in alignment. The only difference in the name of the god.

Lot of people seem to think that being marginalized automatically gives those groups empathy towards other marginalized groups. Reality is that humans are extremely good at compartmentalization, and religion in particular trains those groups to be absolutist in what the doctrine says. I think they'd be pretty shocked to hear about racism by PoC, transphobia and biphobia by gay people, etc.
