Omar, Tlaib balk after report of Trump administration plan to expand travel ban: 'Straight up racism!'
Fox News ^ | 1/11/20 | Brie Stimson

Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., expressed outrage Friday after a report said the Trump administration was considering an expansion of the nation's travel ban to cover more countries.

**SNIP**

“What do 5 out of 7 of these countries have in common? They are Muslim-majority countries the President already tried to ban,” Omar tweeted.

It wasn't clear whether she was referring to the currently banned countries or a potential list.

“We need to pass the #NoBanAct immediately to stop this madness," she added.

Tlaib called the ban “Straight up racism!”

“No more waiting,” she tweeted. “Too many Muslims have been intentionally targeted, discriminated against, separated from their families and denied opportunities solely based on their faith.”

The administration’s travel ban, which has been through several rounds of litigation and iterations, currently includes seven countries (with certain exceptions) not allowed to fly to the United States: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela and North Korea.

"“What do 5 out of 7 of these countries have in common? They are Muslim-majority countries.."

muslim's unhinged religious fervor allows lying and outright killing of non muslims.

Maybe that has something to do with the commonality..

Too many Americans have died at the hands of radical Islamonazis IN America.

Why no condemnation for her brothers and sisters in cloth for traveling abroad to join up with ISIS?

Muslims believe they are born into a superior race.

Lowly kufir are sub-human and have fewer rights under law.

And even if a kufir converts to Islam (s)he will never be fully muslim.

I wonder if they still do not know about the travel ban Jimmuh put in in 1979?

There is no Islamic race. For the bitch to claim racism, she must admit total ignorance.

If there is an Islamic connection to race, it is a complete absence of race.

Think Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, China and on and on....total racial diversity

She means prejudiced.

And she is prejudiced against Jews, Americans, and conservatives.

Islam isn’t a race.

It’s a mental illness.

The travel bans extend to the countries we’ve had real problems with & has nothing to do with racism. It might have to do with ignorance on the part of certain people from those countries.

I wonder what race Tlaib, the white girl, is referring to.

According to Powerline, Omar has never produced a birth certificate or passed any background check. No one knows how she was able to obtain a valid ID or Passport. So the travel ban applies to her?

It is the duty of every muslim to see the Constitution overthrown in favor of sharia law.

Why would we want them here?

Muslims are not racist, they are murderers. All Muslims are taught to murder non-Muslims.

I wonder if they would call banning Nazis racism too.

“”when I hear the word racism, I hear YADA YADA. meaningless gibberish to move a narrative to a platform in order to whip, not engage in thought””

You would think they would realize by now how ridiculous and as you say, meaningless - it is to always label what they don’t like. How about:

“We understand how you feel and we also don’t like murdering terrorists who happen to be muslim….”
