Ilhan Omar goes silent on condemning al-Qaeda, Antifa

For someone as loquacious as Rep. Ilhan Omar, she's got a funny way of going silent whenever anyone asks her about terrorist groups, and not just Islamic ones. 

According to the Washington Examiner:

Rep. Ilhan Omar responded with silence to a reporter asking her if she condemned the Saturday attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Tacoma, Washington, by an anti-fascist.

"Will you condemn the antifa attack in Washington over the weekend?" The Rebel reporter Keean Bexte asked Omar as she left a Monday press conference with fellow Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.

"It's easy to condemn terrorism. Will you condemn it?" Bexte asked when Omar doesn't respond. "Antifa firebombed a facility in Tacoma over the weekend — it's an ICE facility — will you condemn them for that?"

Omar continued to ignore Bexte as he questioned whether Omar thought it was "laudable" to bomb an ICE facility if they are indeed concentration camps, as some have claimed.

In what must have been the same day, she also went mute when given a chance to condemn al-Qaeda:

In response to President Trump's accusation that she has sympathy for al Qaeda, Omar said Monday, "I do not expect every time there is a white supremacist who attacks or there is a white man who kills in a school or in a movie theater or in a mosque or in a synagogue, I don't expect my white community members to respond on whether they love that person or not. And so I think it is beyond time, it's beyond time to ask Muslims to condemn terrorists."

What kind of an answer is that? If someone asked any American of any color whether they hated the freak who shot up the movie theatre in Aurora or the synagogue in Poway, the answer would be pretty straightforward: fry the maggot.

This isn't complicated.

But for Omar, she can't bring herself to say the same.

I perceive, the deep in her heart, she believes this...

[drwoof]

She is a Muslim first. Being an American —and adhering to her oath of office— are way, way down the list. Smug, self-righteous, violent, entitled witch.

Omar wants what EVERY muslim wants, the overthrow of the Constitution and the implementation of sharia

[upchuck]

Taqiyya. See tag.

Me: nothing good to say about the Jihad Squad, excepting name calling. Refraining.

I think her next official statement will be “Not Guilty Your Honor”

[golux]

Let's not get confused.

Not all Muslims want to destroy America. Some love America.

It has been my pleasure to know many patriotic American Muslims.

The muslims that are Democrat politicians are - Democrats.

Democrats seek "social change," NOT to represent their constituents.

Just as leftist journalists seek to "make a difference," NOT tell the story.

I have lived all over the world and it is my firm belief that almost any Muslim with an education in any phonebook would appreciate the Constitution and represent his constituents better than almost any Democrat in Congress today.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Muslims cannot take the oath of office or even citizenship sincerely without violating their religion.
They are all religiously obligated by their faith to seek sharia replacing the Constitution.
They can be faithful muslims OR faithful Americans.
The biggest problem is we never know when one will start following the instructions and example of their prophet.

Islam cannot be made safe for modern civilization.

Bingo. The Islamic religion divides the world into only 2 divisions, the House of Islam, where they rule and implement Islamic law, and the House of War, where they are obligated to commit jihad on unbelievers until they submit.

There is no middle ground where some countries not ruled by muslims can be left alone to govern themselves. The only thing they are allowed to do is grant a temporary cease fire for a few years if the infidels are too strong for them to conquer right away.

So any muslims that tell you they don’t want to bring sharia law to the U.S. are either lying or they are not really following the tenets of their religion faithfully.
