Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib said on Sunday that Islamophobia is a problem on both sides of the aisle in Congress.
The remarks from the Michigan congresswoman who, along with Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, is one of only two Muslim women in Congress, came during a discussion about criticism directed at Omar over accusations of anti-Semitism regarding her controversial comments about Israel, including her assertions of its influence on U.S. foreign policy.
"I pause and think to myself 'is it because she's a black American and she's Muslim?' And so that's where I pause and say to myself, 'Is there an issue here?' And I guess our mere presence there. The fact that now there's not only one but now three Muslim Americans serving in Congress," Tlaib said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Rep. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat who has served in Congress since 2008, also identifies as Muslim.
Tlaib was accused of being anti-Semitic in January when, in response to comments posted by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, she suggested that Senate Republicans were more loyal to Israel than the U.S. The incident happened amid a report that GOP leaders were planning to introduce a bill that would punish companies that participate in the "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions" (BDS) movement against Israel. BDS proponents seek to pressure Israel through economic and other means over the country's treatment of Palestinians.

And it will be present until the Congress looks like Guardian Council of Iran.
Rashida Tlaib should be asked whether she thinks Congress should be run by Sunni, or Shia. Which would be less islamophobic?
It’s not “Islamaphobia” it’s called being realistic. Islam and western culture do not mix. Islam does not belong in the United States or any western country.
In the long run, the two views can not exist side by side.
It exists in Tlaib and Omar’s pea brains.
Said that the other day.
She should STFU and look up what phobia means.
NOTHING irrational about fearing monsters who burn people alive, rape 10s of thousands of women, behead folks, chop off breasts, bury people up to their necks in sand and then stone them, restitch women’s vaginas, in one case SEVENTEEN TIMES to make them “virgins” again, require that 4 men see a rape happen in order for a woman to bring charges...
I could go on all ####ing day.
...NZ massacre??.....spit...#### em.
I was thinking about the term a little while ago lol.
Phobia is an irrational fear. I gotta tell you, if I’m a woman walking alone in a city in Europe, and I see numerous ME men, my fear would be real....and NOT irrational.
Irrational means it is beyond ration, or reason. NOT being fearful would be irrational.
Screw all muslims, they are vile back stabbing pedophiles.
I’ll give you three guesses why....because the mantra of Islam remains the same....”Kill All the Christians and Jews”.
This business of “Islamophobia” should be discussed more.
Reason being, all of us have seen plenty of reasons to fear Muslims and Islamic influence.
In spite of recent media reports that we should fear white men committing terrorist acts, too many Muslim terrorist attacks to count have occurred in recent years.
I’m trying to say, that all of us, have actual reasons to fear Islam and Muslims, based on so many terrorist attacks done in the name of Allah.
Fear of Islam in the western world is not bigoted or irrational. It’s based on actual actions which keep happening over and over.
Is this the same jihadist b*tch who praised HAMAS during a meeting with CAIR, who is a proxy for Hamas..ask her what she thinks about Hamas sending rockets to Israel..or if Israel has a right to exist, Id love to see her reaction
And that says something bad about Congress? Or Islam?
She’s a munt.
Exactly, and want to legalize that by forcing Sharia law.
Then there'll be demands for Muslim Congressmen to have their own Muslim staff and be allowed to sit on all committees.
Then there'll be demands to have the Constitution itself revised, because of course the Constitution was written by white guys and doesn't reflect the "new diversity" of our Islamic brothers and sisters or whatever...
Then Muslims will demand their own state.
Their own region...
Their own government within that region within the U.S...
THEN ALL INFIDELS MUST BE BEHEADED AND MUSLIMS WILL COMPLETE THEIR CONQUEST OF THE U.S.
It never in a million years have come to this point.
it’s crystal clear islam is a violent political ideology and aims to turn the ‘S’ in USA to Sharia.
How they turned the 9/11 attacks into elevating themselves as a protected class to gain political power is one for the books.
Thanks George. Thanks Condi. Thanks Donnie.
Ha post 17! There’s that letter again!
