Today marks the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, when Al Qaeda terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Or, as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) likes to describe it, "some people did something." She used that description while speaking at an event for the Council of American-Islamic Relations in California. The full quote is below:
"Here's the truth," she said. "For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen. Frankly, I'm tired of it. And every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties."
Every September 11 in New York City, the victims' loved ones read aloud the names of their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands and wives who perished that day. This year, one speaker did not let Omar's shocking comment go unaddressed. Nicholas Haros Jr., who lost his mother, Frances Haros, in the attack, showed up to today's ceremony with a shirt that read, "some people did something" and a message for the congresswoman.
"'Some people did something' said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota…Today I am here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom."

"'Some people did something,' said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, to support and justify the creation of CAIR, [The Council on American-Islamic Relations]," Haros said after reading his mother's name. "Today I'm here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom. Madam, objectively speaking, we know who and what was done. There is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion?"
The representative published the following message on Twitter today.
September 11th was an attack on all of us.
We will never forget the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil.
I will continue to fight to make sure we care for the first responders and families who lost loved ones. #NeverForget— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) September 11, 2019
Still, her initial message about the terror attacks appeared to be an attempt to try and skew the narrative with an emphasis on political correctness. The New York Times was guilty of the same thing today. Its report on the anniversary this morning read, “Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.” Airplanes, not terrorists.
The news outlet apologized and corrected the line following a hefty round of backlash.
"Eighteen years have passed since terrorists commandeered airplanes to take aim at the World Trade Center and bring them down," the controversial sentence now reads.
Today is always a somber day as we commemorate the tragedy. After crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, terrorists tried to crash one more plane before hero passengers downed the aircraft in a Pennsylvania field.
Never forget.
The only solution to the mooselimb problem, is the final solution.
I admit, I have contempt for radical muslims, but you, mimicking Hitler’s words, only makes things worse. The only solution to the Muslim problem, radical or otherwise, is the same solution to EVERY problem -— Jesus. The love of Jesus, and its power to change an evil person to a good one, is the only thing that will be a “final” solution. Sure, we can kill off our enemies by the millions, but it will only harden the hearts of those who remain. Ask any Muslim who has converted to Christianity; they will tell you the love of Jesus is the ONLY answer.
I, too, think she should ultimately be deported, but since she was ELECTED by, presumably, American citizens, Trump can’t just deport her out of hand. Since she is a citizen, she is allowed due process. Or do you think Trump should just give the democrats a gift with which to impeach him?
Our pastor just last Sunday was talking about how the once-empty churches of Europe are being filled with ex-muslims now. We even had a muslim have a dream about Jesus and our church. He spent weeks driving around town until he saw our church and matched his dream! He became a Christian!
“Let’s Roll!”
It could be because he is hoping that more folks in MN become “embarrassed” by Omar.
Let the citizens in her state vote her out.
Pray for the conversation of all, including the Muslims to Christ.
That is being removed by President Trump.
Neat! I have often heard that the LORD comes to muslims in dreams. He will reveal Himself to anyone who sincerely searches for God.
great way to respond to crime.
he can deport her now. Being an elected official is not a child from the consequences of your crime. If she gets a hearing, then give her one., Let’s get busy.
Your post brought to mind this article.
An interesting perspective, particularly in light of your post.
I did ax all three of them and they agreed with you, that the love of Jesus is the ONLY answer.
And then they mentioned, "Taqiya or taqiyya (Arabic: تقیة taqiyyah".
All mooselimbs lie, it is required for their belief in the koran.
I'm still good with my tagline, and if hitler said that killing all mooselimbs was the final solution, I'm good with that.
