At the end of July, I told you all that Massachusetts has a plan for an Islamic commission, a state-sanctioned body that would "focus exclusively on the status of American Muslims in the state." The 11-member commission would be appointed by various members of the government to serve three-year, unpaid terms.
The commission would reportedly "serve as a state resource on American Muslim communities, promote research, foster unity among Muslim organizations, work as liaisons between the government and private groups, recommend American Muslims for appointments in state/local government, and advise on proposed legislation's impact on American Muslims."
I especially like that last one, because it'll be popcorn-worthy fun to watch the Islamic commission oppose LGBTQ legislation on the grounds it is haram. After all, the same day I wrote the story about the Islamic commission, Washington Congressional candidate Melissa Chaudhry told the LGBTQ community in her state she couldn't even put her LGBTQ agenda on her website, lest it offend Washington Muslims.
The irony is not lost on me, of course, with Massachusetts being the first state to legalize gay marriage and all that. If things keep heading in the pro-Islamic trajectory, it might be the first state to abolish gay marriage, too.
But I digress.
I want to point out that the same state creating a commission that will focus on and cater to just one religious group is also going out of its way to make sure Catholic imagery is not seen in public. That may offend someone, after all.
Massachusetts high court blocks city from displaying Catholic saint statues honoring first responders https://t.co/oTT2GwdwqX pic.twitter.com/9sfCQROlnW

Here's more (emphasis added):
Massachusetts’ highest court has blocked a city from installing two towering statues of Catholic saints honoring police officers and firefighters outside a new public safety headquarters, ruling the monuments could improperly signal government support for one religion.
The Aug. 20 ruling upheld an October 2025 lower court decision that temporarily blocked the city from installing two 10-foot statues of St. Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of police officers, and St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing the city of Quincy, told Fox News Digital the legal battle is not over.
“This ruling is disappointing but is only preliminary,” Joe Davis, senior counsel at Becket and lead attorney for the city of Quincy, told Fox News Digital. “Quincy chose these statues to honor the courage and sacrifice of its firefighters and police.
And an all-Islamic state body doesn't do that? I suppose not.
It's (D)ifferent, after all.
In totally unrelated news the Massachusetts Legislaturehas created a bill that creates a Muslim only committee of Muslim appointees that will promote only Muslims for positions in state government and elected positions.

But TOTALLY unrelated.
My working theory has long been that the Left wants to use Islam to destroy America and remove Christianity from the public sphere so the Left can rebuild a socialist utopia. I'm not sure if they think they'll get a pass from the Islamist for being tolerant, or if they think they'll be able to rein in Islam once they achieve their America-destroying goals.
Either way, they're in for a rude awakening. Islam will not go quietly. What happens then? If Democrats are already throwing the LGBTQ community under the bus to appease a minority of Islamic voters, what happens when Muslims have the majority?
That irony is not lost on me, either. The people who march in Handmaid's costumes and claim President Trump is turning America into Gilead are marching headlong into an ideology that will actually strip women of their rights and turn them into little more than sex objects who are kept, quite literally, barefoot and pregnant.
But the focus here is the hypocrisy of Massachusetts. In the state that is establishing a commission that appeases one religion while saying Catholic statues cannot be erected in a town lest it violate the non-existent "separation of church and state."
Will the high court also rule against the Islamic commission on the grounds it "could improperly signal government support for one religion"?
It should.
But I won't hold my breath that it will.
