    Oddly the headline the other day about Tate was not terrible though they couldn’t help themselves to not be anti-Islamic.

    “ Conservatism Saved As Muslim Sex Trafficker Brought Back To U.S.”

      That could be to make it extra ironic.

      American conservatives are typically anti Islam, so it puts a point on how strange it is that they would support him.

      But, I wouldn’t rule out that they were using it derogatorily, either. Especially if it’s a trend with them, I’m not familiar with the site.

        The Babylon Bee is the conservative equivalent of The Onion. They mention he’s Muslim because they have an issue with that though I believe Tate converted because it is a misogynistic faith in his view.
