Ilhan Omar Snaps at 'Appalling Question' Asking Her to Condemn Female Genital Mutilation

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Ill.) snapped at a progressive Muslim who asked her at a conference on Tuesday if she could make a public statement condemning female genital mutilation, calling the question "appalling" and "very frustrating."

"Should I make a schedule, like, does this need to be on repeat every 5 minutes? Should I be like, so, today I forgot to condemn Al-Qaeda, so here's the Al-Qaeda one. Today I forgot to condemn FGM so here it goes. Today I forgot to condemn Hamas so here it goes. You know, I mean, it is a very frustrating question that comes up. You can look up my record. I've voted for bills doing exactly what you are asking me to do. I've put out statements upon statements," Omar said at the Muslim Caucus Education Collective's 2019 Conference.

"I am, I think, quite disgusted to be honest that as Muslim legislators we are constantly being asked to waste our time speaking to issues that other people are not asked to speak to because the assumption exists that we somehow support and are for, right? No, there is an assumption. So I want to make sure the next time someone is in an audience and is looking at me and Rashida, and Abdul and Sam, that they ask us the proper questions they will probably ask any member of Congress or any legislator," she added.

Omar urged the person who asked the question, Ani Zonneveld, president of Muslims for Progressive Values, and the rest of the audience, not come forward "with an accusation that we might support something that is so abhorrent, so offensive, so evil, so vile."

She continued, "I would like, not just for you, but for everyone to know that if you want us to speak as politicians, as American politicians, then you treat us as such."

She might be as angry as a woman who had her cl!t chopped off! Should we ask her if she’d like some bacon? Would that be an easier question?

Well now she's speaking at a 'Muslim Event'... with an Audience full of 'Muslim' women who both oppose and support 'Female Genital Mutilation' a significant issue for Muslim women in the US.....and she insults them saying "it's an appalling question", that she's "disgusted" they even asked, and that THEY were wasting her time????????.......THIS while sitting there in her Muslim head-wrap garb telling these Muslims SHE'S representing their unspoken voice???????

Adding insult to injury she scolds her Muslim audience saying they should only ask her questions 'non-Muslim Representatives' would be asked.

Is it any wonder Muslim woman are sooooo disfunctional with the likes of those as this idiot!

The clitless wonder won’t condemn it because she has had it done, and wants to visit it on others.

Would be more efficient if she’d just answer the question. The press is ignorant and will ask the same thing ten thousand times. Just answer ten thousand times.

Maybe we can treat her now like the media and the socialists and rinos and uniparty have treated Trump.

She asked for it.

She is a public SERVANT and works for us.

She is not royalty or untouchable elite.

She will find out very quickly.

Isn’t every self-professed conservative Catholic asked if they are against birth control and abortion?

It is absolutely a legitimate question to see how in lock-step she is with traditional Muslim beliefs which are believed in nearly all Muslim majority countries.

Did she have her clit lopped off for the moon god? Does this partially explain her nasty demeanor? Enquiring minds want to know...

Typical tactic. Agree, she avoided the question. She makes it sound like she has previously condemned FGM, Hamas, etc. Maybe she has but I can’t recall hearing her say so. Would also like to hear a reporter ask her if she supports the American system of law and justice over Sharia law.

Ilhan, you don't condemn muslim extremism because you are AFRAID they will kill (which they will). You insult Americans BECAUSE you know our value system and constitution prevents us from killing you. At least tell the truth about it.

Her point is only valid if she has, indeed, loudly condemned FGM in writing, as a public person.

My bet... She lied.

Wait, I thought they just told us that blacks are to talk like blacks and Muslims like Muslims. Now she doesn’t have time to talk to or about Muslims. These idiot “progressives” are Nucking Futs!
