Sabrina Carpenter's not a fan of yodeling ... or what she thought was yodeling -- expressing an opinion that's getting her into a bit of trouble online. The pop star brought down the house at Coachella Friday ... and, one excited fan showed their appreciation with a high-pitched trill in between songs that rubbed Carpenter the wrong way. Check out the clip ... Carpenter's sitting at a piano, about to play "We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night" -- when the call draws her attention, and she bluntly tells a fan she doesn't like it. read more

Today is a day for celebration. Over the last two years, we've been building an incredible campus in Spring, Texas, just outside Houston. As the new headquarters for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, our campus leverages everything we have heard from team members and learned from the pandemic to create a truly next-generation collaboration and culture center that meets the evolving expectations of our teams. Now as we open our doors to the public, I'm excited to share new details about our vision, and give you a peek inside. read more

Let's talk about the Islamic structure. There is no head, in fact, that is part of it strategy. The authority is decentralized, with religious guidance provided by diverse, independent scholars, imams.
It's fair to say there are moderates, but there are a large number of extremist "imams".

Given the following, we can now answer with a better perspective.

Incompatible with American society or incompatible wth the White Christian Nationalism that the GOP seems to be espousing?

Which mosque? Which Muslims?

What are those? Below is the stance of the many extremist Muslims; it's not just an opinion, they practice it, and expect you to practice it as well.

Lets take women/females, are they equal or subservient to men? When we look around the Islamic world, what do you see, treated as equals?
Lets take other religions? When we look around the world do the Islamic countries have large populations of other religions, or just "token" membership?
Lets take slavery? When we look around the world, what countries still have slaves (sure, sure they claim they are outlawed to get UN money, but its not enforced)?
Lets take homosexuality? When we look at the Islamic world, is homosexuality in the open?
Lets take food? Is non-halal allowed in Islamic countries?

How about blocking the roads to pray?
Call to Prayer throughout the town/city??

If Christians did this, would you have a problem?

Are these American society values? I contend they are not. Is the US an Islamic nation without the religion?

How do you know the mosque being built is moderate? Or extremist? Or is it possible to be built as moderate and turn extremist?

All of these reasonable questions the West isn't talking about. As I have stated, the West needs to neuter Islam extremism.
This will be very difficult given its proposition.
Its funny for me on the outside, as Muslims are clearly as intolerant, if not demonstrably more so, than Christians, yet the Lumpers will argue for Islam and not for Christianity.
In the end this is about the Tolerance Paradox.

Its not about States. Its about conservatives outpacing liberals.

Over the past three decades, Republicans have generally given birth to more kids than Democrats have.

Some interesting thoughts on the topic.

The key takeaways of this are three-fold: first, Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, increasingly inhabit different worlds in terms of family life. Republicans tend to live in communities with low rates of childlessness and larger families; Democrats are more likely to live in places where childbearing is rarer and families are smaller. This informs how family policy is approached: Democrats see smaller and fewer families, and so see a cost barrier with which families need help, perhaps because in communities with a lot of Democrats, childbearing is less universal and frequent. On the other hand, Republicans tend to live in places with much higher birth rates and more uniform childbearing, and so tend to think that kids are just a part of life, and people adjust to afford them. Democrats tend to live in places with pricier housing, while Republicans tend to live in places where it's easier to afford more bedrooms
