Rep.Omar and her Muslim constituents

[ed odowd]

Rep. Omar confirmed today she doesn’t regret her criticism of her Jewish Democratic colleagues not doing enough to condemn Israel who she compared
along with the US as being like the Taliban.She originally told Nancy Pelosi she was misquoted out of context but now it seems she lied to Pelosi.A majority of her Muslim constituents likely agree with her positions since she was re-elected easily in her heavy Muslim district.In the US I believe Muslims account for only 2 % of the population.Obviously a number of them view their religion as most important and being an American comes after that.As you know in countries where Muslims are the dominant population they regularly burn Christian churches and persecute Christians.In their view the superiority of their religion justifies this intolerance of any other religion.I often wonder since Muhammad could not read or write if the person who wrote down his religious principles did it correctly or maybe added some of his own views.

This is the candidate that her constituents in the district wanted. May explain why Minneapolis has become such a crime infested shit hole. I’m sure she will do wonders for attracting businesses, value of real estate and quality of life. Sometimes you get what you deserve.

Is that a problem with Christians as well?

She fled a corrupt, oppressive, crime infested shithole. Maybe she longs for home.

Maybe. But your whataboutism is showing.

Personally found the statement to be off-putting. I have no issue with politicians putting their religion above all else as long as they are upholding their oath to the constitution.

Merge are Christians burning down mosques like Muslims in Egypt ,for example,if so I missed it ?

That is terrorism. Two years ago, John Eanest set fire to a Mosque and shot up a synagogue and used bible quotes in his manifesto explaining why was trying to kill Jews. He was a terrorist. His actions do not represent Christians as much as terrorist acts committed by Muslims do not represent the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world.

 

[ed odowd]

Right Christians and Muslims should be equated in their terrorism.I mean if anybody ridicules Jesus Christians go out and killl that person like the Muslims have done in France and UK in recent years.How silly of me to think Christian terrorism should not be equated to Muslim my bad.

Again... It wasn't "the Muslims". It was heinous acts of terrorism by people who have been radicalized.
Muslim people are just as capable to serve in congress as anyone else. Judge her on her politics.

I agree with you that I don’t care about someone’s religion rather than how they serve and the values they espouse. But you have to wonder why so many in a religion can and are radicalized. Does that happen as much with other religions?

The example that you offered previously was a Lonewolf acting on their own twisting his actions as being supported by his religion. He wasn’t recruited, radicalized, aligned to a group of people with a common purpose… Jihad.

 

[ed odowd]

Muslims can serve in Congress as long as they are not anti-Semitic like the current Muslim members of the Hammas squad,or they trivialize 9/11 by saying some people did something on that day etc.IMO.

Over the last two weeks (last two weeks!), five Catholic churches in Canada were burned to the ground. A picture of one of them is attached below.

The likely culprits were the BLM/Marxist crowd (anyone who thinks Omar is a "Muslim" is biting on a misdirection) but where is the outrage or condemnations of "terrorism?"

Churches burned, statues toppled: two weeks of arson, vandalism following gravesite discoveries - LifeSite

Eleven Christian churches sustained damage, and five Catholic churches were destroyed across Canada in violence resembling last summer's Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots in the United States.

Possibly. I don’t follow her that closely.
In my opinion, the major criticisms I have seen were blown out of proportion because she is Muslim.

You “don’t follow her”, but you are well versed on the criticisms about her. How do you know if they’ve been blown out of proportion if you don’t follow her? Go ahead now and undo the pretzel you are in….

She was right in her criticism of a bill that put another country ahead of US freedom of speech.

So you don’t think her original tweet “it’s all about the Benjamin’s “ (which she apologized for, by the way), was not dumb or incindiary?

Poor Muslims everybody blows out of proportion everything they say.One day we will all realize that 9/11 was for our own good,likewise bombimgs,kill the infidels, their founder killed untold people in his warrior days I could go on but by now you realize their hate speech is covered widely because they are Muslim if another politician made outrages anti Semitic statements nobody would notice just ask Merge he has studied this phenomenon.

Stop. No one is defending 9/11.

Being critical of Israel and their influence in US policy is not anti-Semitic.

Why did politicians push a bill allowing states to penalize companies that joined the BDS protest? Voting to take the freedom of speech away in favor of a foreign country.

Regardless of your views on BDS, that was a bad bill.
If the AIPAC didn’t have as much money and influence as they do, that bill would not have been signed by anyone in congress. That’s not an anti-Semitic statement.

I wasn’t debating a good or bad bill. My point was about her anti-Semitic tweet (which many Jews took issue....and she apologized). But you’re okay with it. I get it.

Well you need to debate the good or bad bill because that was the context here. I don’t think what she said was anti-Semitic because I understand the context. If you don’t understand context, then you would overreact...

Just like Trump wasn’t antisemetic when he told a room full of Jewish people “you’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money”

Ah, Mr. Whataboutism strikes again! Took a little longer this time.

The merits of the bill have nothing to do with an anti-Semitic tweet. You’re being silly now. And it doesn’t matter what you think...many Jews agreed AND SHE APOLOGIZED for the tweet.

Lol. The context doesn’t matter? Please.

You’re right, it doesn’t matter what I think. Or anyone here for that matter, so why are we all here?

If someone asks why x lobby has so much power, the answer is money. When you go down the list of every lobby, the answer is always money. When you get to the AIPAC, the same answer doesn’t all of a sudden become anti-Semitic.

No, the context doesn’t matter when it’s an insulting tweet that is anti-Semitic, AND that Omar apologized.

If you and I are having a debate about healthcare and then you tweet an insult that hits at the core of my ethnicity, then it doesn’t matter what the context of the debate is. Not sure why that is so hard for you to understand. An insensitive insult is an insensitive insult.

Quite simply, “it’s all about the Benjamins” is not something hitting the core of ones ethnicity, and it’s absurd that a politician can’t be critical of a lobby as they would be critical of any lobby just because that lobby’s members are Jewish.

Again, just answer why members of congress were willing to penalize free speech to defend Israeli companies from boycotts. If you’re honest, you’d acknowledge it’s because of money.
