Islamopandering in Salt Lake CityWoke mayor smiles warmly upon oppression and violence.March 24, 2026 by Robert Spencer 
Mormons once had a reputation for being conservative, but those days are gone forever. Salt Lake City is so woke that it even adopted the pride flag as an official city flag in order to circumvent a ban on flying anything but the official national flag, the state flag, city flags and a few others on municipal property.
And so it was inevitable that Erin Mendenhall, the same far, far-left mayor who spearheaded the continued official display of the pride flag, would also engage in some of the most flagrant Islamopandering we have seen up to now anywhere in the United States. Islamopandering is all the rage these days and is happening all over the country; Mendenhall is by no means unique, but she offers a particularly egregious example of how foolish this really is.
She happily dons a hijab, oblivious to the untold numbers of women who have been threatened, brutalized, and even killed for not wearing it. Back on Sept. 16, 2022, in Tehran, the Iranian morality police arrested Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, for not wearing her hijab properly. Amini later died in a hospital in Tehran, and numerous Iranians charged that she had been tortured to death while in custody. All over the country, protesters took to the streets to protest not against the hijab laws, but against the repressive and brutal Islamic Republic itself.
Mahsa Amini was only one of countless women who have suffered for not wearing the hijab. In Mississauga, Ontario, a few years back, Aqsa Parvez’s Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Amina Muse Ali was a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab. Forty women were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab.
