A Muslim Iraqi refugee who previously worked as a war journalist announced she is running for Congress in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, meaning she will try to unseat Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.
In her campaign announcement video, Dalia al-Aqidi said she was fortunate to be able to come to the United States as a little girl with her mother to escape Saddam Hussein, who she described as a "brutal dictator." Seeing how terror had affected her family, al-Aqidi says in the video she was happy President Trump ordered the death of Iranian general and terrorist Qasem Soleimani.
"I've gone from a frightened girl to a determined fighter against oppression wherever I find it, and sometimes that's closer than we think," al-Aqidi states. "In our own Congress, agents of anger and discord are tearing at America from within...like Ilhan Omar."
Noting their similarities, al-Aqidi says her and Omar "couldn't be further apart."
"When President Trump ended the murderous reign of Qassem Soleimani...Ilhan Omar was outraged, attacking the President, defending the terrorist, driving further and further apart. She claims to speak for all Muslims, but she does not speak for me."
DID YOU SEE? I’ve announced I’m running for Congress in MN-5 to defeat Ilhan Omar. https://t.co/El9474IVRj pic.twitter.com/f4psbBVZ8l— Dalia al-Aqidi (@Dalia4Congress) January 17, 2020
Al-Aqidi has also criticized the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
As a Muslim, CAIR @CAIRNational does not represent me and will never do. https://t.co/BWNpSBDZOs— Dalia al-Aqidi (@Dalia4Congress) January 16, 2020
Good
She could probably beat Omar. Beating Omar and s Soros million dollars, that’s a different matter.
From what I’ve seen, there are Shi’ite denominations that tend to be fairly rational. The Sunnis are the ones who usually are complete lunatics, like ISIS, Saudi Arabia, etc.
She came as a child with her mother.
Holy sh#t, this campaign ad is absolute fire. Ilhan Omar better get ready for a fight. Must watch 🔥🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/xQFgSGDVnL— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) January 17, 2020
The link is in the article.
ISIS is not a country, Saudi Arabia is.
Yes, good ad. However, she’s white, while Omar is black. I wonder if the Somalis would vote for Dalia.
I AGREE. Muslims TELL us they can’t be trusted. They can lie or do whatever needs to be done to hget the results no matter how long it takes.
“We have the tight to kill you!”
She was great, I hope she wins.
That’s the bottom line, to me. They can lie to non-Muslims. “Truth’ is actually a Christian concept rather than universal. (That’s why the lefties don’t tell the truth/ they don’t believe in it). IDK I do not want to see any Muslim in government, frankly.
What an incredible ad!
Yeah you never know. That is why I cringe at the thought of a Islamic Muslim in office.
It is antithetic with the beliefs of American society as a religion and is really a war plan against the infidel.
I personally do not want to be "destroyed from within".
Ideas like that are why VA is controlled by the Dems now.
The time to weed out the unwanted is in the primaries. Hold your nose and vote R in the general.
GO DALIA!
There’s not a muzlim out there that respects and support the U.S. Constitution...If she’s a good Republican or even human being, she’s a very bad muzlim...I wouldn’t trust her...
I saw her on Fox she is awesome. Folks should send money for her campaign.
Nobody who understands Islam would vote for a Muslim ruler.
Just NO.
After she repudiates her belief in slaughtering non believers who will not submit to slavery in the Mohammadi death cult and has a Fatwa declared against her perhaps but until then,
Just NO.
Correct. Since Islam as a political viewpoint is in direct contradiction to our laws and Constitition.
Probably Sunni vs Shia... and the war goes on, just in new territory. Neither would eat lutefisk.... Uff da!
I saw too
