Actor Selma Blair is facing backlash online after an Islamophobic Instagram comment from last week went viral.
The comment was made on an Instagram video posted by Abraham Hamra one week ago, in which he calls out U.S. Representatives Rashida Tlaib, D-Mi., and Cori Bush, D-Mo., for being the only two members of Congress to vote against a measure that would prevent anyone who partook in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel from immigrating to the U.S.
Hamra, whose Instagram bio refers to him as a speaker and Syrian Jewish refugee, calls Tlaib a "liar," "moron" and a "hateful anti-Semite" in the video and said "the truth is, the Jews have been victimized by the Arabs, and not the other way around."
Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, said the bill was "redundant with already existing federal law."
"It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe," she said.
Blair thanked Hamra in a comment on the video, which was also shared one week ago and has since been removed from the post. NBC News viewed the post before it was removed. It’s unclear who took it down.
“Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds,” Blair wrote in the post. “They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”

Every page was in Arabic on the left side, and English on the right. The English side was just like the other modern ones, all the "bad" stuff left out.
I have a non Muslim friend who is fluent in spoken and read Arabic. I asked him to come to the bookstore with me, because I was too cheap to buy the book.
I pointed out the sura I mentioned, and a few others, plus there were some he was familiar with he wanted to check. (he had spent quite a few years in Saudi-Arabia as a civilian). I have never seen the expression that came on his face before. Absolute shock.
He had only seen true versions before too. He said, "My God, they are two different books". I remember those exact words. I don't remember the rest of his comments word for word, but he went on to say, that this explains why so many people in our government have the wrong idea about Islam.
Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.
IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.
What he said, "did Netanyahu translate it for you? Why you don't go and get your own copy from any mosque?"
My response: If you go to the link, you will see is three translations by three Imams. No translation between any two languages is going to be exact, so I figured 3 by 3 Imams gives one the greatest chance of coming up with a reasonably good idea of the original.
I do have a translation from the late 1800s, probably from a mosque, that comes very close to agreeing with the 3 translations.
If you have the time, could you skim through your paper one and randomly compare it to suras in the three to see if they seem to be the same? BTW, it says 3 side by side, and it used to be, it has been re-formatted to work with smart phones and is now one above the other, not that it matters.
I hope this doesn't mean that I must become "Islamophobic", in fear of Muslims.
“Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds,” Blair wrote in the post. “They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”
Bravo.
Thanks for posting the info and the link!!!!
facing backlash for telling the truth
Wasn’t that word invented after 9/11?
Muslims have a phobia about the truth being told about them.
Their “holy book” tells them to be proud of all the infidel blood they have shed on the edge of their sword during the last 1,400 years while spreading their religion. Unless they’re using “taqiyya” to position the infidels for easier slaughter.
I’ve always liked Selma. It sounds like she has overcome her medical issues from a few years ago. If so...I’m happy for her.
We need more Selmas.
“It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe,” she said.”
It doesn’t take GOP messaging bills for that. Y’all are doing a great job of it all on your own.
Good for Selma. She has more to worry about than the shrieking of ignorant keyboard morons. Hope her health is better.
Thanks for the post.

Thank you!
Disagreeing with Muslims, Rats, Rinos, Commies, Marxists, does NOT make someone phobic.
It means they have a different, and likely, more truthful fact-based opinion.
Snd A more accurate understanding of the truth than the lying descriptions given by liberals and those whose religions tell them that they should lie to getwhat they want, or to accomplish a task.
