Ilhan Omar Finds a New Way to Attack Freedom of Speech

Is there something more important that she could be focusing on? “Islamophobia” is, after all, a free speech issue. The only problem is that Omar is on the wrong side.

During Omar’s recent visit to Pakistan, she made sure to visit Pakistan’s just-replaced former prime minister Imran Khan, whose Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party proudly tweeted Wednesday: “US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) called on @ImranKhanPTI in Bani Gala. They discussed Islamophobia & related issues. Ilhan Omar expressed her admiration for Imran Khan and his work for Muslims globally.”

That was significant in light of the kind of work Imran Khan has been doing for Muslims globally. For years, he has been campaigning for the West to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws and restrict the freedom of speech under the guise of prohibiting “Islamophobia.” In October 2020 at the UN, he justified Islamic violence in reaction to perceived insults of Muhammad, saying: “It is important to understand this: the Prophet lives in our hearts. When he is ridiculed, when he is insulted, it hurts the—As we human know, we human beings understand one thing: the pain of the heart is far, far, far more hurtful than physical pain.

Remember when President Rump cited sh*thole countries? Pakistan is a perfect example! And just try living there as a Christian or a Hindu. As for Omar, dumb as a box of rocks, crooked as a sidewinder, and hateful as can be imagined.

This ditzy broad has got to go. She’s not an American and should not be in our Congress. She’s a disgrace.

If Islam refrained from blasphemy of other belief systems, then maybe they could expect the same respect in kind. Haven’t seen any evidence that they do this.
