"In her remarks, she has branded every Muslim in America as an antisemite, and this is absolutely unacceptable and un-Islamic," Ahmed said.
Dr. Qanta Ahmed, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, a United States based-think tank, appeared on Fox and Friends this week to discuss her op-ed in which she claims that Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is "proving to be an enormous liability to America's Muslim's."
"In her remarks, she has branded every Muslim in America as an antisemite, and this is absolutely unacceptable and un-Islamic," Ahmed said. ADVERTISING Read More Related Articles

Recommended by Some of the interview focused on the comments Ilhan Omar made about AIPAC, in which she hinted that American politicians are paid off or bribed for their support of Israel. Ahmed further explained that there is an "incredible bias that is disturbing," and that Omar fails to mention that Muslim nations such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar spend "tens of millions of dollars more on lobbying than AIPAC does" to push their agenda within the US government each year.
Ahmed said she believed that Omar should be ejected from the House of Foreign Affairs Committee immediately because anything that the Minnesota Representative now proposes can be "interpreted through the lens of antisemitism."
"Also very concerned, I am, that she is affiliated with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement, which is legitimizing and normalizing antisemitism. It's a movement that calls for the eradication of the State of Israel, which is unacceptable. It's disguised as a human rights movement, but it's actually antisemitism," Ahmed explained.
Ahmed added that this is the new form of antisemitism, and that this bias is infecting the Islamic community. She quoted a Washington Post op-ed, which claimed that antisemitism is carried through Islam whether Muslims like it or not. Ahmed said that this is anti-ethical to true Islamic beliefs and that American Muslims must reject this notion.

Nancy Pelosi: Ilhan Omars Comments Were Not Intentionally Anti-Semitic
Ilhan Omar since apologized for the antisemitic comments she made.
“Antisemitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of antisemitic tropes,” she wrote. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry.”
However, Ahmed believes that this apology is "hollow" and still concerning. She said that there is no room or justification for antisemitic speech, and that lobbying is a part of liberal democracy and should not be an excuse for the rhetoric used.
"[Antisemitism] is not only hate speech, it is genocidal speech. Antisemitism is the only vilification and prejudice of people that leads directly to genocide," Ahmed explained.
"Islam teaches us to treasure and revere the Torah, Moses, just as it does Jesus and the bible. [This rhetoric] is not coming from Islam, this is de nova, this is a 20th century construction that has been adopted in the modern Arab world and is causing strife against Muslim's who don't have that critical thinking and who see maybe the success of Israel or maybe the intelligence of the Jewish community with resentment and with animus, and I don't accept that this is a means to advocate for the Palestinian people." Ahmed concluded.
She’s not Anti Semitic much say the Dems.
Nothing more than damage control. Takiyya is all you need to know.
Oh, blow it out your...sunni shiite place.
By definition, a muslim is antisemite.
Quit your damned virtue signaling...nobody cares.

she has branded every Muslim in America as an antisemite
The author is correct. I don't know his political leanings, nor do I care. In this case, as regards openly expressed antisemitism, this member of the Council on Foreign Relations, hardly a conservative or rabidly pro-Israel group, is way ahead of the Democrat party, virtually all of them, when it comes to accepting Jewhaters as comrades.
Taqiyya
Riiilly big ditto.
“Its Un-Islamic”
HA HA HA HA HA HA
Fixed what was fake news.
It is very Islamic to be anti-Semitic.
Islam is anti-everything that is not Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.
“[Antisemitism] is not only hate speech, it is genocidal speech. Antisemitism is the only vilification and prejudice of people that leads directly to genocide,” Ahmed explained.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Islam has a 1397 year history of genocidal speech and action.
It has been genocidal since its founding by their genocidal prophet.
What kind of fairytale Islam is this guy selling?
“In her remarks, she has branded every Muslim in America as an antisemite, and this is absolutely unacceptable and un-Islamic,” Ahmed said.
It’s nice that he’s against antisemitism but it is definitely not un-Islamic.
Taqiyya I believe this is called.
Anyway, she’s Brit, so I don’t see what business this is of hers.
Spit-——nobody believes this......it’s muslims doing the old “good cop, bad cop” routine.
