This is one Muslim voice Rep. Ayanna Pressley doesn’t want to hear.
The Massachusetts Democrat delivered a speech at the weekend’s Netroots Nation convention in Philadelphia that all but declared she could speak for Muslims (and other groups) everywhere.
And Imam Mohammad Tawhidi wasn’t buying it.
Pressley — a charter member of “the squad” of progressive Democrats that also includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan – framed her presumptuous declaration as a progressive call to arms.
“I don’t want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you’re going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office,” she said Saturday.
“If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.”
“We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice,” she said. “We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up, because we need you to represent that voice.”
The rank racism is risible. To Pressley, clearly, there’s only one acceptable “voice” for those who are “black” and “brown.”
The closed mind is almost painful — anyone who espouses the Islamic faith must have a political point of view that matches what Pressley determines it should be.
And as to sexuality, anyone who is “queer” is obligated to lean left politically too.
But Tawhidi, who goes by the moniker “Imam of Peace,” had a thing or two to say about it. Especially considering Pressley is not even Muslim.
“My name is Mohammad Tawhidi and I am a practicing Muslim,” he wrote in a tweet Sunday addressed to Pressley. ”I come from a lineage of scholars and Imams that goes back to the *close companions* of Prophet Mohammad. My question is: Who the hell are you to say which Muslim has the right to speak?”
