Ilhan Omar’s Response To Notre Dame Cathedral Fire Draws Criticism

Monday's horrific fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris shocked viewers everywhere, as they witnessed the horrific destruction and collapse of its iconic spire, before firefighters were able to get it under control.

While many prominent figures tweeted concern for the cathedral sacred to over a billion Catholics across the globe, controversial Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) put out a bizarre tweet that rubbed many the wrong way.

"Art and architecture have a unique ability to help us connect across our differences and bring people together in important ways," posted Rep. Omar. "Thinking of the people of Paris and praying for every first responder trying to save this wonder."

Huh? "Art and architecture"?

Notre Dame is French for Our Lady and is a Catholic name for the Virgin Mary, Mother of God who gave birth to Jesus.

That Omar could not even bring herself to name the cathedral or even mention that it is a church, brought instant reaction online.

Yep. Her first reaction was probably, “The monument to the infidels apostasy has burned! Allahu akhbar!”

She is dreaming of it being rebuilt as a mosque.

Don’t kid yourself. Most European political leaders said almost the same thing. “Cultural patrimony” my ass.

The cathedral was built by Catholics “ad majoram dei gloriam”.

If it is restored as a “historic monument” or “symbol of unity”, God will just burn it again.

People just CANNOT DISCERN THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

somebody did something, and it caused some unhappiness.

Oh, and by the way - I’m a victim of white patriarchy and racism.

"Art and architecture have a unique ability to help us connect across our differences and bring people together in important ways," posted Rep. Omar. "Also, a good time to break out the all-beef frankfurters...."

My money is on Linda Sarsour having written it for her.
She seems to be the one holding the puppet strings.

Wait. Weren't we told that thoughts and prayers were hypocritical useless responses?

Oh. That only applies to conservatives.

The Left can only accept cathedrals as places of “art and architecture” and not as religious institutions. That statement was written for her by an agnostic or atheistic person using politically correct code.

Actually, I would cut her some slack on this one. I'd probably say something similar about a structure that is venerated by Muslims.

Good thing for her she was able to tweet it. That way we could not hear her giggle as she wrote it.

Look,she is a hardcore islamist. Period.
The fact that she tried to sound sympathetic at all, and wasn’t ululating and praising the will of Allah for this triumph over our false faith, is probably due to the spotlight on her.

People with her beliefs are NEVER going to “assimilate” with us = they consider us morally inferior at best and inhuman at worse. There is no realistic way she “represents” nonmuslims anymore than a wolf represents a flock of sheep.

"There is only one God and Muhammad is his prophet"

To her, and all Mooslims, Christian or other religions beliefs, places of worship, and members are an abomination to Allah. She can't and she won't refer to it in its religious context.

Until the West gets this very basic principle we have no chance of survival.

Which is why Macron, Merkel, May, and all the rest said basically the same thing.
