    The celebration was assumed. See, Republicans always make a habit of hating anything that Democrats like, so the feeble minded journo with a looming deadline and no solid leads will assume the reverse is also true. Thus, because Republicans hate Muslims and want to eject them from any form of government, they’d assume Democrats must always celebrate whenever Muslims get majority control of some government body.

    I’m being less sarcastic than I would like to, here.

      I’ll try to be generous and say that maybe some misguided people on the left were celebrating this, believing it was a win for diversity, but it sure wasn’t widespread.

        It’s like the homeopathy of progressiveness. Just the tiniest, most ineffectual dose imaginable. Like “Sure they’re far right theocratic zealots who want to crush women and queer folk, but at least these ones are brown!”

          Really hate the shitty way you Americans classify races. Like dude, you unironically divide the fucking world in 4 groups?
